<p>I thought it was a very interesting story, saw it on the front page of Yahoo, and was wondering what people on here thought of it. I think he made the right choice.</p>
<p>I was intrigued by this article too. I think he made the right choice and I am happy that his parents saw that he needed to fly on his own and that Harvard is too good an opportunity to pass up.</p>
<p>This was interesting; a tough decision for a young person. My nephew was in a similar situation. His dad was in declining health with Parkinsons when my nephew was accepted to Yale. Leave his mom with two younger siblings and his father to care for while she was also going back to work full time to support the family or stay closer to home where he could help. It’s a tough one. He went to Yale and his dad died a few years later while he was at school. He still struggles with his decision in hindsight even though his dad told him to go.</p>
