The Next Chapter: What Does Post High School Look Like for Your Child?

Local Information Sessions to Guide You Through

By Toms River Macaroni Kid August 9, 2024

It has been a long year for the Mac Kid Mama! 

Friday night, I load the car up for my oldest to head down to her new home away from home...University of South Carolina. It's been a long eighteen months to get to this day. I've learned a lot, most of it after the fact. With a rising junior at home, I get to put those things I learned to work with my son as we get ready to start his journey to figure out where his future will take him. 

In my scouring for events, I stumbled across these sessions that would have been super helpful at the start of my daughter's process! After the last year and a half my first piece of advice is there is no such thing as too much information so mark your calendars. Try to get to at least one of these info sessions!
