Kids, college, competition

My twins both got into good schools. One left UC Davis during his freshman year, earning no credit, and one left UC Riverside at the end of her freshman year. I literally had to go to Riverside and nurse her through the last week so that she would get her credit before coming home. Luckily I could afford the hotel, and was able to work from the hotel room for that time.

They both suffered from eating disorders, and it's been a long road (3 years) with them recovering and going to community college. They got excellent grades at community college and are now ready to go back to university, the boy to UCSD (commute from home) and the girl to Cal. We're a little nervous, especially with one going away to such a competitve school. but they've really come a long way. The folks from Cal have been very supportive so far. The stats are a 95% graduation rate for transfer students which really helped my daughter's confidence.
