maybe in 2 years from now when my second is through all of this I will be able to laugh. This whole process has devolved from when we were kids to now, where you have to be Jonas Salk at 16 in order to be accepted. My friends and I all joke that none of us would be accepted at our alma maters today. We just have to build realistic goals for our kids and let them know they are terrific people who will do great things no matter where they go to school.
