[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I am beginning to understand why those pages are so crazy after learning some parents research and craft supplemental essays for their kids. Why stop living your kid’s life for them once they are admitted?[/quote] DP. No judgment—everyone does what’s best for their family. That said, after reading this thread, I apologized to my DS tonight. Lol. He’s been asking all summer to drop some chores (dishwasher, trash, driving little brother) so he could focus on school and college apps. He also asked whether we could help with EC list drafting and essay research. We said no—told him to work on balance and time management. It’s been tough, but he’s grown a lot. Five apps in, accepted to his safety, and the rest nearly ready. We had a counselor to help stay on track, but he wrote all his essays and ECs himself. Very proud of him—and grateful for the lessons learned on both sides[/quote]
