MOVING ON
So. We have reached another plateau or benchmark or stage of life.
We now have grandkids heading for college.
Two are high school seniors, both have been accepted in a college, both are waiting until all the cards are dealt before they decide which one to attend.
I have always been sentimental about the first day of school for kids. Particularly the first one. Kindergarten or whatever.
Now, we will go through it all over again. Freshmen. Women.
This is not the only higher learning going on. We have have a daughter now finishing her work for a doctorate in nursing.
Pretty good stuff. Very nice.
I have worked with applicants to MIT for awhile and am familiar with the tension involved in the process of deciding, applying, waiting, deciding again. It is newish to be on the other end and see people I love going through the moves to get more education.
All for the good.
