The screensaver on our computer almost has us convinced our daughters are still toddlers. Every day, photos of swings and slides, bath time and footy pajamas remind us of the little girls they once were. We turn off the computer and suddenly, they’re all grown up.
The young women who now live with us have jobs, play varsity water polo, and are preparing for college.
Dinner conversations these days include AP credits, the common app and which colleges we can visit over holiday breaks. For example, our August camping trip in Oregon included four campus stops with our daughters and niece.
We decided to publish this month’s, “Applying to College,” cover story because the process has changed substantially since we applied in the 1980s. Hopefully other families with high schoolers will benefit from the information.
Have a great month.
