For the student, it's four years of transformation, self-discovery, inspiration, exploration and affirmation.
For the parents, the adventure is partially vicarious. Watching the child become a self-actualized adult is one of the most gratifying parts of the whole journey. And the community - both on campus and off - becomes an important part of your own lives. If you're lucky, and we have been, occasional visits are relatively easy and frequent.
And now, at least for a while, the family geography contracts a bit with future plans still forming. All three of us are grateful for the experience just completed and excited for the next steps.
