There has been a keen interest in higher ed in the UK. What is this draw? A lot has to do with the ability to start studying one's major immediately rather than waiting for the obligatory one or two years at the majority of schools in the US.

Your Senior in high school graduated and is well on their way to their next step, whether it be university, a gap year or maybe just a break between high school and university. I remind you that once turning 18, our 18 year olds are no longer considered ‘ours’ in many respects.

When I turned 18 I was still under the legal supervision of my parents. My parents had the right to review all my records- university grades, medical records and had I a police record- that too (no, I have never had a police record).

Hooray for you! It seems like yesterday that you were just stepping foot into high school! Just ask your parents! You may be celebrating now, but you do have a ways to go before receiving your diploma on graduation day. But, I know you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
