<p>CLS is alive an well in our household! I’m glad to finally have a name for it! We remind our DD at State U how proud we are of her 4.0 and the decisions she’s made while in college. She’s doing extremely well.</p>
<p>But…DS is a doolie at AFA and he does tend to get all of the attention from everybody. While he would prefer to wear civvies, he has to travel in uniform for now. That draws attention. People who know where he’s in school want to know how he’s doing…etc.</p>
<p>I remind her that most people in our area are familiar with State and the other LACs in our area, and either went to them themselves or have sons or daughters there. But VERY FEW have any experience with a service academy, so it’s a natural point of discussion.</p>
<p>I told her it’s just one of those life situations you have to experience and adjust to and the spotlight will someday shift. And then shift again, and again. Unless you’re a movie star, you don’t live life in a spotlight!</p>
