I keep thinking of how parents use their kids' playing sports to live vicariously thru them. Kid hates the sport but only does it b/c he/she doesn't want to disappoint parent. Or really wants to play soccer when dad says he will only pay for football.
The PARENT has to remember that it is the COLLEGE STUDENT that has to live every day on campus!!! If Susie wants ABC and Mom wants ZED, then tell mom to enroll in school and try to pledge herself!
(((Okay, okay, I know easier said than done. I'm just tired of parents trying to tell their child what will make the CHILD happy.))
The child is now an adult...let them make their decisions. If the "new adult" feels happier in ABC or no GLO at all, parents should respect that decision and their child.
