Earning College Credit

Student Responsibility

Applying to College Teaches Teens

Crucial Skills

Author Julie Lythcott-Haims knows it’s tough

for parents to turn over the reins, especially

when it comes time for their child to apply to

colleges.

In her book -How to Raise an Adult – she

notes that if teens aren’t able to complete the

application process independently, they are

more likely to falter once they arrive on

campus.
