Write several sentences describing a recent interaction with a friend or family member about personal finance or credit cards. This interaction may be imagined or real.

Before going to college my son got (his) first credit card.
(He) now has (himself) in a lot of debt.
(We) tried to tell (him) not to run up his credit card debt.
Could someone tell me if I have this right.

Your sentences are correct, yes.

I've seen this assignment before, though, and you need to double-check to see if there's a minimum number of personal pronouns to be used or if you are supposed to use a minimum number if different personal pronouns. In your sentences, you've used one first-person pronoun and four forms of one third-person pronoun.

If there are no minimums, then you're fine.

Yes, you have the general idea right. It seems like your son recently obtained his first credit card before starting college, and unfortunately, he has accumulated a significant amount of debt on it. You mentioned that you and your family tried to advise him against running up his credit card debt, but he still ended up in this predicament. It can be challenging for young adults to manage their finances responsibly, especially when it comes to credit cards. It's important to educate them about the potential risks and consequences of overspending and to encourage them to establish healthy financial habits early on.
