<p>You are absolutely right and we had a neighbor when my son was 4 until he was 10. She convinced him that he WAS going to college and she convinced him also that if he wanted a great education he should go to school out East.
We've kept in touch with this great neighbor over the years sending Christmas cards, etc. My son wrote about her on college application essays about someone who influenced him. With great joy, I called this lady and shared the news about Princeton!</p>
<p>Thank you for having a place to help me celebrate!</p>
<p>keep us posted when he gets out there to visit this spring and gets to meet the members of HIS class. Lovely! Bet he worked very hard for this opportunity.</p>
