| wow team-mom, what a great post..! Should be required reading for all parents whose children decide to set out on this course! I had been a high school English teacher and de-facto college counselor for hundreds (thousands?) of kids over a 30 year career, but when DD announced she wanted to apply to conservatories I discovered that I knew almost nothing about the process. The learning curve was pretty steep, the outcome wonderful, and, as you say, the fact that she LOVES what she is doing is the best part of all. |
