My daughter is at a precollege program now. She’s across the country. This was her first time flying alone and her first time in an environment not knowing anyone. She’s quiet but not shy but it takes her awhile to get to know people. That said, she had dinner with 4 girls from her dorm last night and hung out with them until curfew.

She started her class today. She texted that she loved the teacher, the material was interesting and she had lunch with girls from class.

I am hoping that this experience gives her confidence that she can be successful in a new environment and that it will help her determine how far away she wants to go to college. Right now, she is considering schools across the country as well as schools instate.

She is only doing a week long course. She originally wanted a two week course as there are many opportunities over the weekends. But she is having surgery so she was unable to go for two weeks. This was the only week that fit into her schedule.
