Surviving the College Application Season as a Family

We learn everything with our first child. Our first child Max is currently applying to colleges. He goes first and paves the way for his sisters. This season of parenthood couldn’t involve more emotions!

I feel so proud of Max and the success he has had in school.
I feel so excited about his next chapter of life.
I feel elated as college acceptance letters come in.

I haven’t processed what exactly it means for him to go off to college.

I can’t even put into words all the mom feelings that I am having.    

I also want to pause and say something very important to all the parents out there. Every single child is on their own journey. My son wants to go to college.

Not every child will want or need to go to college. They are all unique people building their own paths in life. Max’s path is taking him to college.

That doesn’t mean both of my daughters will go to college. Max wants to study statistical genomics. At the moment, Ella wants to study journalism. Lillie may end up wanting to be an esthetician or a real estate agent or an interior designer. She has a lot of careers that she is thinking about. I support my children as they grow and find themselves.
