<p>Just so you know Momma Walker, there were plenty of times on this journey that I wanted to RUN SCREAMING FROM THE ROOM. :0) Remember, we parents have our kids’ well being in mind as well as our own, so the stress feels double at times. I would say that the majority of the people on this board felt overwhelmed many, many times, especially at the beginning of the process. It gets better. And worse. And then better. :0)</p>
<p>Also, my daughter’s junior year was by far her most challenging totally unrelated to all of this application and auditioning business. There just seems to be something about that year of school. </p>
<p>@do-what-u-luv Love the quotes! I so agree with what you said about how it’s a good time to follow your heart . . . I have said something similar to folks who question the wisdom of pursuing a BFA . . . “There are no jobs anyway, she might as well pursue her dream and do what she loves.”</p>
