My DS2 and I had this same conversation, though he has not hit send on a single application yet. He merely was trying to distill his thoughts, expressing concern that the choice might not be ideal, that he did not know what to examine to get to the right choice etc. etc. I tried my hardest to say that there is no one right choice, no one better option. And, the choice will seem positive in retrospect. In the end, for them, it is all about taking flight with only the wind beneath the wings, rather than walking on the ground that was put in front of them…hard for the parent to observe and for the child to do…
