In the throws of college applications it is always one thing or another. We spent most of the day getting their signatures on the last pieces of financial aid and Tony's application for All American. Sandwiched in-between all of this were doctors appointments. It is an insane time. All of us are feeling the pressure of sprinting to the finish line, hopefully intact with a level head ready to counsel our children regarding the best decision for them.
We missed most of this with Joe since he was home and in Chemotherapy. But I do remember one late night in February when he decided to apply to Penn. And at 1:00 AM in the morning he sent off his application, with the hope to fulfill his dream of attending an Ivy League school. We waited to hear the decision. He was accepted and attended. So I take a deep breath with Tony and David, since in reality their applications are not nearly as dramatic as Joe's to Penn, that in the end it works out and they land where they should.
