[QUOTE="Fran, post: 32090, member: 3"] <span style='font-size: 11pt'>He is pretty self motivated and well prepared. He went to sleep away camp every summer in Maine. (I made him at first but he loved it)I think it helps him to not be as intimidated. It is far away but with cell phones and e mail we will be in touch. Terry,I have to look at what my son needs more than what I want. It's hard. I have strong opinions and easy child knows them but I will not force him to do my bidding. It stops a good kid from thinking for himself. I thought it through for a long time before I had kids. DDD, I would never had the vision or the initiative to apply so far away.My world was much smaller. He searched out his dream job for the summer and applied. He made all the arrangements and decisions himself. Once in a while I have to rein him in since he isn't done cooking and still needs parental guidance.
