I have been thinking about this post ever since I started lurking on CC when my daughter was in 10th grade. I’m not ready yet, but I promise - it’s going to be a long one. Ha ha! I have learned so much and I want to share for future parents. I hope that’s ok!
@ginaf1102 @actorparent1 @actingdreams Thank you! This was a very interesting process, to put it mildly. Like the rest of you, we have this newly found admiration and respect for our daughter who was willing and able to go through this. We didn’t exactly encourage her, but we did support her – if that makes any sense. We are super happy about Syracuse; she is still pining for Tisch a little – NYC has such strong appeal…
