Mom in Cheshire Grateful For Dobler College Consulting

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to share this story from a Cheshire mom whose daughter I have worked with over the past year:

“As my phone rings AGAIN and it’s my sister calling to tell me another thing I should be doing for my daughter’s college to-do list, I have heart failure.  I can’t hang up fast enough to yell for my sixteen-year old to come downstairs so I can ask her if she has done it.  She looks at me like I am crazy and says, ‘mom, Eric and I did that two months ago.’  Every single time this scenario plays out, her answer is always the same.  Not only is she prepared, she has had whatever is needed done well before the deadline.  Eric has made this process so uncomplicated and actually enjoyable!

The most important thing he has done for parent and child alike is to make my daughter accountable. The parents are not responsible to get things done for college. The student is.

This has helped my daughter in the growing-up process.  She also owns her college experience.  She did the work, she picked the colleges, and she succeeded in her first hurdle of her college experience.  Is she nervous? Absolutely, but thanks to Eric she couldn’t be anymore prepared for what lies ahead.  For this we are extremely grateful.”

To have the opportunity to work with families like this and to know that our work together has made a difference in their lives, is something I am so thankful for.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
