It's a great moment when you realize your child is, a.) becoming a grown-up and, b.) doing a pretty damn good job of it. Don't get me wrong, my 19 year old daughter is still a "kidult," dependent for dough but not so much for advice and direction.
Nonetheless, she is preparing to begin her second year at the University of Michigan. Her first year was good and, boy, did she end it well! As part of her studies she volunteered to take part in the University's Undergraduate Research Opportunity (UROP). She was enlisted to become involved in a research project headed up by a OB/GYN doc and his crew. The result? She did a poster board presentation at a professional meeting. Got an A. Better yet, my little U of M freshman daughter finished out her 1st year with not one, but 2, papers accepted for publication, on both of which she is listed as an author. The first has been published.
