Bas Right now

It is difficult for kids to see how valuable they are these days with social media and the constant comparison to others. My son, who is on the right track with everything (socially, academically, maturity), thinks that he can't get into the university that he wants, so he is giving up before he has even applied. I am really struggling to find the words to help motivate him and realise that even if he doesn't get acceptance, that it is ok. The thing is, there is no question in my mind that he has an excellent chance. He just doesn't realise it. He is so talented and just needs to believe in himself and fight for what he wants.

A choice of college is often the first big decision a young person has to make and it looms up before them as a huge decision. I feel for the young people in this situation and wish they could realize there are many options open for them. If one door closes another will be open. That's why there are so many colleges and universities to choose from! And, no decision has to be final. I think we all know of people, myself included, that transferred to another college after the freshman year. Best of luck to your son!

Sarah, I love this arrangement of photos and word art.
 
I hope you find the way to reach him. Lots of kids apply to colleges they don’t get accepted to, and then they look at choice #2 etc. Sometimes I think kids have their heart set on one and only one school, when there are many that are great schools and may be an even better fit.
 
Oh boy how well I know, being a parent isn't for the weak. Good luck in the motivation department. Documenting the good with the bad . . . it's what we do.
 
I hope he has the courage to apply to his current top choice, but I also know that with all that going for him, he is sure to thrive no matter where he ends up! Wishing you (and him) all the best!
