About 14 years ago, I sat in a church service with my husband and tiny daughter. My mind settled on the family in front of us. Two parents and three teenagers. I have thought about this family so often over the years and even more recently. It was the early service. The teenagers were awake but looked rumpled. Two boys and a girl. And I looked at them with envy.

If you fell like freaking out about interviews, maybe it will help to know you’re not alone. A student once confessed to me that they really didn’t want to go to their first college interview.

They were quite positive they’d have a nervous breakdown in the middle of the interview.
