Getting a high school student ready to apply to college while the parent serves in the military can present a unique set of challenges. In this episode, Pam with talks with two military moms about those unique challenges. You will hear from Misti McAniff and Natalie Mack about military life, their families and how college planning worked for their families. You’ll hear how Natalie navigated living in one country while her college-bound student made plans to attend school in another country. You will also hear how Misti was able to make the shift when her son no longer wanted to pursue his childhood sports dream.
Although this episode focuses on military families and highlights the unique challenges they face, the conversation with these moms is timely for both civilian and military families.
A few of Pam’s key take-ways from this episode:
* Lean on your village – who are those people who know, love and support your family?
* Check-in on your expectations – how are you handling when your student no longer wants to do something that they always wanted to do?
* Ask questions – This is a great way to gauge how your student is doing with college planning.
* Raising adults – what are you doing to help your student transition from childhood to adulthood?
