My daughter committed to a college, and I paid deposits for her housing and orientation. Then she changed her mind.

The author said her daughter committed to a college, then changed her mind near the end of her senior year of high school.

• After a campus tour, my daughter decided she wanted to go to a school 2,000 miles away.
• She was accepted and committed early, but in the spring of her senior year, she changed her mind.
• The swap left me with big feelings, but I know she made the right choice.

I smiled at the Facebook memory that popped up in my feed.
