38 GoodLifeFamilyMag.com SEPTEMBER OCTOBER 2015 goodGUIDE HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE As teens matriculate from typical teenager to Joe and Jane Col- lege they welcome the opportunity to confirm their identity and reach their highest potential. For many its the first time theyre on their own and masters of their own destiny. Plano mom Karolyn Fritz is closely watching to see how her daugh- ter makes the transition from high school to college. The biggest challenge for my daughter has been being fiercely independent but a little cautious on what the future will bring observes Fritz. Plano West is a large high school which will make the transition to Univer- sity of Texas easier. Fritz notes that her daughter will be responsible for making her own way and speaking up for herself. It may cause her daughter some uneasiness at first but Fritz knows that in the end it will be a learning and maturing experience for her little girl. We will be her advocate but from afar. I know the future holds nothing but great things for her and she has the world in front of her. Ive got to be where my spirit can run free. - Pippin Corner of the Sky lyrics by Stephen Schwartz We will be her advocate but from afar.
