[quote=Anonymous]My son got into Yale, Harvard and Stanford. He went to Stanford. All the way across the country. I made him tell me why exactly that school, and why NOT the other two. He had real reasons to give me. I too, could only go to a state school, and I too, clawed my way up to be able to provide everything for my kids. It'd be pretty cool to be able to fake-casually brag that my kid was at Harvard or Yale. But my son's college experience wasn't about me. It was about him. He can't go to a school for MY bragging rights. So I sucked it up and dropped him off at Stanford. Where he had a great freaking time and did really well. Which is really, deep down, what I wanted for him. [/quote]
