>> right about that, because i mean constantly little one at tour years old, make good choices, you have to eventually know just trust yourself, your child and let go. where does the first step to tackle this dealing with the decision, the college, rejection letters or acceptance letters? where does the student? >> right now, the they're ready to make their final decisions. if they haven't already, may 1st is the deadline for them to tell the -- they've already been admitted, they've already, more in the colleges they didn't get into and may 1st they have to give their decision. i think that's overwhelming. am i choosing the right one? you know, it's a major decision is these next four years, what friends am i going to make? what kind of networking? am i going to succeed? it's pretty nerve racking >> a lot of people getting rejection letters, it is probably one of the first major disappointments they face.
