[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these kids really seem amazing. I guess everyone has different priorities, but to be so focused on a particular school or type of school (ivy league) is something I have never seen outside of DCUM, and I have lawyer and investment banker friends. Do most of these kids do these things (volunteer, etc) because they think it will help them with college admissions, or is it something that they are genuinely interested in? I'm sure it takes a lot of hard work and a family structure that is very solid/focused.

She's going back this summer despite not needing volunteer hours for anything after graduating. She just loves it. [/quote] Mom of kid with SN here- this is so heartwarming. thanks for sharing.[/quote]
