<p>Steamed, I’m a parent who has been quietly following your journey. Congratulations! I will tell you that I was really, really hoping and expecting that my D would stay local (in NYC) for college. But, once she made her decision to go elsewhere and I saw how excited she was, I could see it was the best decision for all of us! Good luck to you. Wherever you land, you’ll do great and your family will be proud of you!</p>
<p>Hi everyone! I posted my final decision on the Final Decision - Background thread; I explained my reasoning for my choice so if you’d like to know the outcome, feel free to read that. It astounds me how much support I’ve received from this website, and I feel so blessed to have been able to talk with you all through this process, and have you guys check up on me - it’s humbling and makes me feel so loved! :-)</p>
