a letter to my son

<p>

</p>

<p>I love the ending, too, and it reminds me of the Mark Twain quotation:</p>

<p>“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”</p>

<p>Ivy shmyvy. UChicago is a great place! My son was waitlisted from his favorite Ivy. He was accepted to UChicago, but we need good finaid for him to attend. I have no idea when finaid info will arrive. Meanwhile, he’s got other great choices, but unfortunately his favorite school (Georgetown) hasn’t sent his finaid package, either.</p>
