[quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to share: last year, right before Freshman year, DS was so nervous and certain things would not go well at school, that he would have trouble making friends, doing well in classes. I feel really bad for him and he was fighting back some tears when we dropped him off. Then I cried when we drove away because it hurt that he was so anxious and said how home sick he was going to be. He was even saying things like he hated it the first week and wanted to transfer, which we all expected was just due to the big changes and all the newness and uncertainty, but it’s hard to tell. Some kids really do know right away that it’s not a good fit.

Fast forward and my rising sophomore is so happy, and so excited to go back to school and see his friends. He knows his way around campus, the surrounding neighborhood, he made some great friends, and he is so adjusted, calm, and positive now. There is zero angst about going back and only excitement.

I wanted to share in case anyone else has nervous kids getting ready to leave home for freshman year. [/quote]
