i remember being her age. i remember being stressed about "huge" things that seems so petty now. i remember my high school GPA counting for all 10 minutes of my life that it did.
but now, being older, looking at this time in her life from outside - i see how much i have really learned since my high school days.
it's about money. she doesn't get it. she doesn't understand credit, or how serious it is. she doesn't understand monthly payments and how important the timeliness of them are. she just doesn't understand much about anything past graduation. i mean neither did i. but it's really frustrating to be on the outside, somewhat helpless and watch her have to learn the hard way. i could enable her, but she would never learn. i have the means, really. but her attitude the lessons aren't worth it. making it easy for her now will only make it worse later. i just hope it doesnt hurt her too much.
it all boils down to maturity. she gets angry and frustrated at repetition and no progress. but she can't wrap her mind around the fact that SHE is the one at fault, and needing rescued from her ship that's sinking fast. praying for her hard. she's about to go through a pretty awkward stage in life. disembarking high school and entering college is a huge deal. BUT, you can't walk on water if you can't get out of the boat!
maybe the cruise is getting to me too much. im using a lot of water quotes. hahaha
