Our daughter was awarded a Presidential Scholarship in December of her senior year - took a lot of the pressure off! She was very happy there.CindyDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-42924158428492167702013-04-11T07:20:19.209-04:002013-04-11T07:20:19.209-04:00This too shall pass but in the meantime, just try ...This too shall pass but in the meantime, just try to stay calm, focus on schools that offer programs your daughter is interested in, keeps lots of money on hand for application fees, throw away most of those brochures you are received (College Board sold your name) and before you know it, she will be graduating from college and you will be wondering where did the time go.<br /><br />But in all seriousness, congrats to your daughter.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-33591086033965401882013-04-10T16:55:48.753-04:002013-04-10T16:55:48.753-04:00Deep breaths.

He comes back on Tuesday, and we'll have to start the college stuff. My daughter is at Kent; it was either that, University of Cincinnati, or Ohio State. You're looking at some higher stakes schools; my children were frequently reminded about grandparents who only graduated from 8th grade, and chided that they were lucky to go to high school. If STB is a National Merit Finalist (and he probably will be), this might make matters scarier, but it's probably the University of Toledo (Ohio!) for him. I am right there with you!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-44205825911930729962013-04-10T16:43:43.153-04:002013-04-10T16:43:43.153-04:00"I am supremely proud of her and know she is ..."I am supremely proud of her and know she is ready to leave the nest, but I'm not as ready." That really sums it up. It's a hard experience for both parents and teens, and I don't think people tend to talk about it much. Wishing both of you the best.
