<p>This "brag" is somewhat off-topic, but I just couldn't resist shouting it out.

<p>My DD (HS Jr.) found out yesterday that she has been chosen for Arkansas Governor's School this summer, which is located at Hendrix. (Although not actually affiliated with the college.) She will spend 6 weeks there - living in a dorm, eating in the Hendrix cafeteria, and participating in classes & activities at Gov. School. I am sooooooo hoping that living on the Hendrix campus will be a positive experience for her and will help solidify her college choice.</p>
<p>ArkansasMom, that is wonderful news! I bet she will absolutely love Governor's School. My DD attended Tennessee Governor's School for International Studies last summer and absolutely loved it. She made what I am sure will be lifelong friends. Several of her friends from GS have visited since last summer and three are coming to stay with us during Easter weekend. I credit Governor's School with an increase in her independence, and the with the acceptance that DH and I will survive when DD leaves for college. Please pass on my congratulations to your DD!</p>

Yes, it will be a good trial period for <em>me</em> to see how I will cope without her at home for an extended time!</p>
