Are You a Fan of Spicy Cajun Food?
When your oldest daughter made the decision to go down south 12 hours to college you never imagined what a great decision it would be. She is finishing this year, the fourth year after she started, with a Biology degree. She completed parts of three of the four years on the Division III gymnastics team. She has made a lifetime of friends and connections with faculty members who have written her letters of recommendation. She has already been accepted into an accelerated nursing school and plans to eventually get her masters degree before becoming a nurse practitioner.
Of all the academic and social benefits that she has earned from going so far away for school, however, there are even more benefits that you never would have expected. By going to school in Louisiana, for instance, your entire family has learned a lot about southern culture. From crawfish boils to the spiciest cajun seafood recipes, these four years have been eye, and taste bud, opening.
