I agree. What is the difference of ones age. Would we feel different if it was a childhood genius who is going to college after 6th grade, on full scholarship? Or is this just a athletic conversation.

To get to a strong college both academically and athletically, and have them give you a scholarship is a good decision. No college loan is huge advantage as you exit school.

After reading the post...I think we are always jealous of things you aren't offered or don't have right now.
