Miami- Your daughter’s level-headed approach to college and her career reflects well on her parents. =D> . Her deliberate, thoughtful path is inspiring. I’m sharing your post with my daughter. Perhaps she will follow your daughter’s lead. Thank you.
What- avoid discussions that may challenge one’s views??? MiamiDAP it sounds like your D got what she wanted- a medical education. I wonder if she could have gotten so much more as well. There is so much more to life for physicians than just work- being well rounded while going to college instead of just gunning for medical school is so much more. But, of course, we are only hearing the proud mama’s viewpoint here.
I’m not an educational pragmatist. I’m an idealist. I highly valued my artsy-fartsy airy-fairy liberal arts college experience, and I wanted my D to have the same if she wanted it. It’s the ultimate luxury in life, IMHO. Your education is like a mental living room you inhabit for the rest of your life. It should be well-furnished and varied.
The Yale book was awesome but I am thinking they just want our money for the application.
It was thick and navy and looked as if they really wanted him.
