The Choice blog ran an entry this week—College Admissions Advice for ‘Neurotic’ Parents—that generated some good comments from readers. One in particular I thought was worth sharing. It's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture during the college admissions process, but Lizzie and her daughter offer a gentle reminder about maintaining perspective.
"My daughter is special needs, which put the college admissions race for my son into perspective. With my daughter, we’re just hoping she’ll be able to hold down a minimum wage job someday and maybe learn to pay her own bills so she won’t have to live in a group home when we’re old. I couldn’t care less whether my son goes to an Ivy or the state university."
