So I would have to say that it was my parents, my father mostly. Later on it was my pastor. It is hard, very hard. During the summer it would be too expensive to have her travel with us. She is used to it now that she is 11, but it was very hard.
Kids can adjust but it's harder for the parents.
The main one is be sure of your goals and let nothing and noone take that away from you. Whether you achieve it or not, make sure that it is what you want to do. If you keep your eye on what you want, no one can take it away from you. And smile whether it's good or bad. Things always turn around.
