At one point we probably felt a bit like we had to prove a point being homeschoolers and get her into uni early. Then I stopped giving a damn! 😆
Angel had wanted to get in at the start of the year, but she didn't turn 18 until just before the cut off for second semester admissions. That was frustrating for her, despite me saying it wasn't an issue and meant she had plenty of time to study in preparation. Interestingly, she's still one of the youngest students there, so she was over thinking things as usual. I think it's better that she waited to get a bit more maturity anyway.

I can understand feeling like you had to prove a point, went through that as well, not helped by other people's (usually erroneous) assumptions about why we were homeschooling XD (it's always fun to be held to higher standards than schools XD) Got out of it pretty quick though as it was stressful and I avoid extra stress like the plague XD
What is with that!? If you come out of school mediocre, that's okay, but if you're homeschooled and mediocre, then your parents failed you and you were deprived of schooling. Mind you, it's the same with scholarships. If you have the money you can pay for the best dance/sport coaching, but if you want a scholarship you have to be way above average and have achieved that without the benefit of being able to pay for all the extra training the others have.
