@JoelShoe lol, SUPER ANALYTICAL which can lead to a big struggle pulling the trigger sometimes. On the one hand, I’m glad she really weighs things out since i was a “jump right into it and then think about the consequences” type of person when I was her age, but on the other hand, there’s only so much talking we can do!
2 other things that helped my girl pull the trigger:
-
Her beloved Chem teacher told her to not worry about making the “right” decision, but make the decision you make RIGHT. Like, don’t look back and embrace what you choose.
-
Her beloved pediatrician who is really like her big sister/aunt/personal role model weighed out her options with her and when she said she though UCLA would be the best choice, the heavens parted and a decision was made…I really think the decision was made before this, but hearing Dr. M say this locked it in
Does your daughter have some one like that she can talk about the decision with?
