I am struggling to stay on the sidelines as my S works on his college applications. I need support to stay strong! I SO want to read his essays. I SO want to provide feedback on his activities and honors lists. Are there other parents out there who find it harder each day to only provide encouragement as Nov 1st draws near? He has shared the drive all his essays are on and his common app so I have immediate access when he does ask for me to review. Although I desperately want to see where he's at with his essays, he has asked me not to review them until he is finished. I almost wish I didn't have the access! Intellectually I know this is his application, not mine, and to respect his wishes, but it is SO hard to watch without helping! With all the "helicoptering" being reported I thought I'd put a thread out there for those us sitting on the sidelines. I hope I'm not alone...
