[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life is a journey, not a destination. His journey just happens to be more unusual (and therefore interesting) than theirs.[/quote] This! My sister's oldest took a similar less traveled path (he actually dropped out of college to do it). Several people have pointed out to me how BRAVE it is for kids to take a different path. That changed the way I viewed it. Also, read the book Excellent Sheep if you want to make yourself feel better (it explains how HC liberal arts colleges are actually foreclosing options for kids because they all mindlessly travel the same "good" path, without stopping to discover what makes them happy and fulfilled). After you've read that book, you can recommend it to family members!! [/quote]
