My dd is graduating this year and she has been accepted to several colleges and she has already choose one. I am so proud of her as she has done everything herself. She has lots of scholarships. Already has her dorm reserved with her best friend as her room mate. I did nothing for her at all she did all this on her own. She has everything set up to where if she keeps her grades she keeps her scholarships. I told her last night she needs a job and save that money for when she goes as she doesn't know what will come up that she has to pay for. I also told her that if she gets a job and keeps her grades up I will help her from time to time such as buy her books. I can't afford much but I'm willing to try if she is. I will be giving her a car before she leaves b/c I want to make sure she will have a way to get out of any situation or place if she needs to and to come home when she needs to. I will also continue to pay her cell phone til the upgrade at which point she will have to get her won phone and she will be responsible for her gas and insurance.

I am just so proud of her that she is doing everything on her own.
