My super smart and kind nephew just started college this week at the University of Hawaii!
What a pleasure to see him spreading his wings. I've been giving him small bites of advice and encouragement. Like the first week all you have to do is find your classes, familiarize with the campus.
Today I texted him the message below that I've been wanting to share with him. What do YOU think?
Secondary School like high school is all about equipping you and building you up and giving you confidence.
Freshman year of college. They are doing something different. They are showing you the limits of your knowledge. They are introducing you to the universe of things you do not yet know. It is challenging because that is the intent. But you got this. There could be more work and you could feel way too busy. Especially you because you're still involved in your important activities. But just cruise and just know that it's almost like a well-intentioned hazing. Once the freshman eyes are open to the universe of things to be interested in, you start finding your way in one of those directions and it gets more familiar and your mastery comes out. <3
Here is a link to the non-profit he started at age 14! (Yes, still operating)

Each quote speaks to growth, compassion, and the quiet strength that comes from letting go
I'm sure your nephew will very much appreciate your wise advice. Some younger people don't express gratitude when they are young, but it remains in the minds and comes to the fore as they really grow up.
Top shot.
