<p>Everyone does this so differently I know but for those kids that do decide to go it alone, they were better than I thought they’d be. They had it all handled. I met a few and they all kind of lumped together and hung out the night before going “in”. Yes, we were dumped and went back to the hotel with our Wendy’s Frosty, alone. I cried. A little jittery on their nerves that morning waiting in lines but I believe that would have happened even if Mom & Dad were there or not. So nobody feel bad about them going it alone! There are a thousand super parents around to watch out for them if they should need something. And if they do, they’ll probably find a way to email you to let you know all went well. Thats one of the cool new things you find out about academy “family”.</p>
