I am the new boss of my dad's company.

My father decided that I'm grown enough so that he could let me handle the family company. So, I took over the management and everything. Sometimes, he passes by to look after me and see if everything is going as planned. He is doing a leg work and it's not tiring for him.

Finish the required courses and enter the university.

The smartest choice that I could make is to go back to college, and finish the required courses before being able to go to the university.
