[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2019 and 2021 HS grads.  2019 had his own college related issues with shut down, but just graduated with honors and has a job so I consider him a success.

My 2021 had his planned future destroyed as he was an athlete being recruited.  Without going into all the details, he actually did land at a college and is playing his sport but not at all where he thought he would be.  However, he doesn't seem to regret any of it and he just persevered.  He's on track to graduate in four years and I don't think I've ever heard him (or his friends) say anything about being "stuck".   Matter of fact, now that I think about it most of his friends seem to be doing well in college and are on track to graduate in 4 years.[/quote]

I'm sorry for your son's experience, but am glad to hear that he has adjusted.

As a PP mentioned, there is no universal experience for these HS graduating classes. As a parent of three teens during the pandemic, one thing I observed is how much sports outside of school benefited my two, who are more serious athletes. For my other teen, who did not have as much going on outside of school activities, having school buildings shut down had more of a negative impact. [/quote]
