Perhaps the only thing
crazier then being out of college for almost a full year is when you start
taking your baby sister visits the colleges she is applying to for fall
semester.
To think that my baby, and I emphasis the word BABY, sister
will be a high school graduate and college freshman in a few short months is
mind-boggling.
The past two months
has been a series of college tours (including Pace), open houses, applications,
and financial paperwork. As the only one in my immediate family who has
graduated from college, I have taken it upon myself (with great pleasure, mind
you) to help my sister find the perfect school for her.
To be honest, I wouldn’t have this any other way. I am glad
I am helping her on this journey. While it is daunting, frustrating, and sometimes
downright scary, it is an important part of every young adult’s life and I am
happy to be by my sister’s side as embarks on this adventure.
I have been there every step of the way thus far and
intended to continue to be there until she decides on the perfect college for
her (I am not going to lie- I would love for her to go to Pace too but at the
end of the day she needs to pick what’s best for her)
As many people would
agree, college was one of the greatest experiences of my life, therefore, I
want my sister to not only get an amazing education that will challenge her to
become the best teacher she can be, but also to provide her with the tools to
truly leave college as a well- rounded leader who can achieve whatever she sets
her mind to. I believe that a full
college experience can do that.
So as we continue on our tours and wait to hear back from
schools, I sit her typing as a very nervous but excited big sister, and I
couldn’t be happier.
