Agree with you dex. She is doing what others only get to dream about. I have been following her blog also and i read that one yesterday. All children need a rite of passage to adulthood, and hers is a just a little different. She will come back mentally stronger and more mature, regardless of what happens. It is yet to be seen if she can finish it unassisted, due to unknowns, but I wish her well. If she is lucky to make some good money out of it, it sure will beat working a 9 to 5 job.
