As always Samia, so much wisdom that you have. My oldest grand girl is like your oldest and it has been stressful for her. Reframing and language is so important as you well know. Well done from a wise woman. Sending you and your family love as always.
The reframe from rejection to redirection is sutble but powerful. Watched a niece spiral over college admissions last year becuse she'd internalized every "no" as personal failure. That line about not condensing yourself into an application packet really captures the absurdity of trying to quantify a whole human.
By the way…..you are the wise woman.
