At our signing ceremony, most signed a blank piece of paper. My daughter had signed her NLI months earlier, many were going to Div 3, one to an Ivy, one to Navy some to NAIA or jr college. I know there was at least one male rower (no NLI). Who cares? They are going to college. Who cares if the school posted pictures of kids going to community college? Why is that embarrassing? Many people hadn’t heard of the school my daughter attended and it was 2 hours away from her high school. She had looked at Smith and someone asked me where that was.

The TV stations here do stories on some of the signing ceremonies and many of those students haven’t been accepted to the schools yet even if they’ve applied ED. At least a few of those kids are going to Ivies and service academies and those aren’t sure things yet, but history shows that those commits do attend those schools. Why not celebrate?
