Kids going far away

When they are far away, they have to become self-reliant pretty quickly. When my daughter first went away, she would call with a problem, for instance, should she drop a class and take another. Well, being 10 hours away, there would be nothing I could do for her. Initially, I would suggest she call the appropriate person to guide her. Now, she is in London and had a scheduling snafu for next fall and she just handled it from across the pond! She didn’t think twice about it! I was very proud of her(and told her so, too!). She has really grown personally!
