Thanks for posting this, stemit.

I’m getting goosebumps reading it. You’re describing my DS’s last year’s evolution as well as DW and my reactions right down to the text aversion to text anticipation transition, the skyping, etc.

At DS’s school (maybe the same one) they also had a pre-college camping trip (Outdoor Action) and a few of his OA friends along with a few of his residential college friends are his core social group and current suite-mates. The team gave him an instant adjunct social group.



How is reality compared to the expectations?

Actually very much in line. The biggest question going in (for me) was whether DS would be student first or athlete first. I truly didn’t know what to expect, and he has balanced the two very well. Student first, no question, but also a happily contributing member of a winning team.

Thanks again, stemit. Great post.
