Well I wanted to let all know that things happened very quickly regarding Hanover College. My daughter is half way through her senior year and has been looking into colleges for over a year. She has visited numerous schools, College of Wooster, Midway College, University of Cumberlands, Belleramine, Northern Kentucky University, College of Saint Rose, Lindsey Wilson and Hanover College. Most of these schools were in the discussion around the house for a while.
But back in December something prompted Stacey to apply at Hanover. I am not sure why it was never mentioned. She applied and received early acceptance along with college scholarship money. This was no different than some of the schools above. But you could tell something was different in the way she was looking at Hanover. We had never been to the campus and she never even spoke to the soccer coach. During Christmas break she emailed the coach and we met with him just after New Years. Stacey really like him and so did I. Then a week ago she attended the competitive scholarship weekend. Stacey, her dad and I all fell in love with the campus. Her dad and I both felt this was the right school. They have so much to offer and we knew this was the school that would challenge her and she would excel.
So on Sunday night during the first half of the Superbowl Stacey decided she was going to Hanover College in the fall. We are all so excited. You know at some point you start to loose hope that she would even make it to college it all because so stressful. She is excited about the decision and so are we. She will be going away to college but only an hour and half. Close enough for her dad to go have lunch with her if he wants.
It is one of the proudest moments a parents can have. As my mom said on her blog "You go Girl , the world awaits you"
