One of the aspects in the podcast that I had not really considered before is the impact of being a finalist for something like Posse and then not getting it. That was something the young woman profiled in the podcast indicated was devastating to her. Something like that is hard enough to handle even for a kid with a robust support network; kids who are candidates for Posse and similar are not likely to have that level of support. I don’t know the answer to how would be best to handle something like that, but it did give me food for thought
