<p>Hi connections, just to clarify, the trip is her idea of how to spend a gap year. She feels she had worked too hard to graduate early to not move forward. She had the same problem when she finished middle school at 12 and the homeschool arts program would not admit her. This kid fights for what she wants and woe to me if I try to hold her back. I originally started this thread to see of I shouldn’t be pushing her harder but from hearing from you guys and bouncing this stuff back off her it is becoming clear that she has a plan … Small college now then bigger college later. Based on what we have learned, that probably means bachelors then masters.</p>
