Most Young people think they may be hot stuff in HS as they are into everything.
But the idea of going AWAY is and can be very nerve racking! It is not that they depended on Mom and Dad while in HS as Parents were dumb and did not understand!
LOL!
But to go away to a strange place, meet new people, have a different curiculam and study habits is totally strange.
All of a sudden it is I know evrything, but what do I do
I would say at least 90 % of the Kids think that way. I was in the 10 % , go figure.
I did not want to go to a clollege where a lot of my HS friends went. I wanted to try something new!
If you remember, when you went to college, it was strange, and you werent the BMOC anymore.
JMOM has and is going through this with a Daughter and a Son!
1 st hand knowledge for sure! From our discussions, she is doing a very good job of giving a little physological advice!
Nudging here and there!
Of course as in inside thing, Picture a Lady in a P Up Truck running dirt roads in the Bayou looking for antiques and truck farming!
It is hard for me to understand being the intrevert that I was to take off and get away from home, not once but twice- 2 schools.
But my problem is I get to Gung Ho and hot headed and say do not tell me NO, I will do it anyway!
Example: hate the sight of blood! Became a COP, da! Now blood does not bother me unless it is mine!
Ah but, that is just little Ole Me!
Try hooking him / her up on GC! What an eye opening experience for me and all of the ones on, I am sure!
I can only hope, that she does go through rush. It is hecktic as hell, but is a new experience and a learning process!
The added benefit, if as you say the school is trying to help and make the Greek System grow, what better way for a young person to get involved. They are able to make a seed planted grow into a flower!!
