[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 591003, member: 1550"] Thanks. Of course we are going to let her make the decision. And by default, her decision will be the two year college where, by the way, she can still play college level basketball, because she isn't going to be able to get into the four year schools. Susie, I haven't spoken to any schools that will lower their standards to let Jumper in to play basketball and I'm glad because she isn't going to be a WNBA player when she gets out of college...lol. She is going to be a social worker. I think I'll take your advices (is that a word?) and let her figure it out herself. She loves the two year school she planned to go to...there is a dorm, sports, it's a lovely town and there are two other colleges nearby so she'd be near a lot of her friends since it is a popular city to go to college at. The only glitch is that, in order to get a room in their small dorm center, and to get put on the list for the two year certificate she wants pre-social work (Human Services) she has to apply at the end of her junior year as both have long waiting lists. But we can sign her up and then she can still look around at the other colleges if she wants. That's how we want to handle it. IC, Jumper is firstly an athlete. If she was your child, there would have been no way to keep her away from sports. None of my other kids were interested in sports, but it's in her blood. It's her passion. Hopefully, she will play sports forever and live a healthy lifestyle. There is nothing on earth Jumper loves more than playing any sport and it would have been cruel to have not allowed it. I don't like how they go about recruiting at colleges, but Jumper is partly the person she is due to playing sports. It's very good for character if your child has the right temperment and it does keep many kids on the straight and arrow. Thanks to everyone. I will now just let this go. Jumper WILL figure it out. She always makes sensible choices. [/QUOTE]
