THOH- College Drop Off

The Hassle of Hair

Dropping off our only child at the University of Texas was a whirlwind of pride, sadness, and excitement. Join us as we recount the pivotal conversations that led to her decision to attend university out of state and the rigorous process of guiding her through college applications. From her initial consideration of junior college to ultimately receiving multiple offers, including a full ride to Iowa State, we highlight the immense pride and accomplishment we felt when she decided on the University of Texas. This episode is a testament to the importance of resilience, adaptability, and unwavering parental support.
Our journey wasn't without its challenges. Listen in as we reflect on societal pressures and the internal conflicts that arise from comparing ourselves to others. We share personal experiences from attending a party in our early twenties to navigating new responsibilities in our relationships, all while motivating our daughter to aim for prestigious schools despite initial reluctance. Witness our family's educational background play a significant role in shaping our daughter's future and the joy of seeing her thrive in her new environment.
Finally, this episode is a heartfelt tribute to the support system that has surrounded us throughout this journey. We express deep gratitude for friends, community members, and special individuals like Ant Dogs and the Figueroa family who rekindled our passion and provided an environment of encouragement. Celebrate with us as we acknowledge the collective support that has been instrumental in our daughter's success and express our appreciation for everyone who has been part of our path. Hook'em!
