My ds has wanted to go to usafa for years, and has worked really hard to achieve this goal. Eagle scout, A student, varsity letterman, 33 act, usafa summer seminar, and so on. He has been getting everything done on his portal, and nomination packets. Two days ago, out of the blue, he said he is no longer interested in attending usafa. I asked him what he wanted to do, and I got a "I don't know maybe go to the tech school in town". I suggested that he follow thru with everything, in case he changed his mind.
He told me, he wasn't going to change his mind. As you can imagine, as a parent, I had alot of mixed emotions. I was not sure what to say, and didn't want to have a knee jerk reaction and say the wrong thing. I know it is his decision to make. I just don't want him to throw away this once in a lifetime opportunity. The clock is ticking away for the application and nomination. I don't know if it's cold feet, being overwhelmed, friends, or what. Any advice on here would be appreciated.
Thanks
