Advice for mom of 16 year old senior

<p>Actually, she does know where she wants to be in 10 years… she set that in stone a long time ago… any changes to that plan have been minor, and based on growth. </p>

<p>I guess the real question I am asking and trying to figure out is… should the journey be different for someone who starts college 1 month after turning 17 than it should be for someone starting college at age 18 1/2 to 19? </p>

<p>I really like the idea of looking at the path of those she most wants to be like. Thanks.</p>
