<p>My darling daughter is the love of my life, I am extremely proud of her, her ACT was 25, and I am not in the least bit embarassed. She got into one of our two flagship U’s, and she could not be any happier, especially given some challanges she has faced.</p>
<p>Now me, I was the first to go to college in my family, I had high SAT’s and a 4.0 unweighted, and could never seem to see that I made my parents proud. Even at my age, having graduated at the top of my class at a respected LAC via some merit aid, a job and loans; having graduated from medical school; having finished a residency at a top university, and having a stellar career and now a clinical prof, I still am given the impression from one of my parents that I could have done more… That parent comes immediately to mind when I read DAD II’s posts. Let it go, and let her be.</p>
