I rarely post pix of my young adults. I pretty much only do that if I have their permission. I posted for my D22 in August the day before we left for college with her permission and announced the college. I posted more photos of her high school graduation. I would only share merit awards in person, never online.
I know a lot of people who take some alternate paths. My oldest did not go to a 4 yr school.
Likewise, I ran into one of the top students from D22’s elementary school (kid was an academic wiz, could sing and dance, athlete) last year working at a bagel shop. I asked her how she was doing and was careful to ask what her plans were after graduation. She said she was taking a gap year and working and traveling. She’s a brilliant kid and I’d bet she will end up going to college somewhere, but maybe not.
