Today you spent the day packing while different family and friends came by to say goodbye. You talked with people about your classes and everyone, including you, seemed really interested in your courses. We had a fun moment when you checked your email and saw that a professor had assigned a 37 page reading for a meeting that you will be having during orientation, and you were like, “I have to read all of this for day one?!!”
At your college the students, including your two roommates, who are doing the pre-orientation program moved in today. Your roommates reached out to you to show you pictures of what will be your room as they moved in, and they checked in with you to make sure the decisions being made were comfortable for you. I went onto the parent page for your college and there was not one single negative sentiment expressed. People were writing with their appreciation for how well the day was organized and how smooth the transition was into the dorms. One parent wrote that they really appreciated the welcome address from all the administrators and it was obvious how much respect and care the school has for their students. I told you that in a world where it is so easy to go on social media to complain it made me feel good that your school seems to always be praised.
As much as I am not ready to let you go, I have to admit that I have a really good feeling that you are going to a place that will do right by you.
