[quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is twee, but honestly I was surprised by what a growth experience the process was, and how much opportunity it created for self-reflection and connection. I had dreaded the process, as did DD. But every school visit turned out to be a chance for DD to get to know herself a little bit better — to see what resonated, and what didn’t, and to reflect on why. She grew up so much simply by going through the process. Even those infernal essays were valuable in their own way. Yes, it was stressful at times, and no she didn’t get in everywhere. But all of that became an opportunity too. I’m relieved it’s largely over, but part of me is sad, too. [/quote]
