BOSTON HARVARD UNIVERSITY TOUR SHOWCASES POSSIBILITIES

Harvard University is one of the most prestigious colleges in the world. Of course you have heard of it.

I don’t see my role as a parent to push my children down certain paths, like going to Harvard University or any college.

On our recent trip to Boston, I did not want to leave without seeing it for myself and imagining what life as a student in Harvard would be like. I also wanted the girls to gain an insight into Harvard University Campus life so they could begin to think about their future.

If I want my girls to learn something in particular to help them grow into extraordinary young women, I often give them a book about it, or send them to  rock climbing camps, to help them learn it from themselves.

We joined a walking tour of Harvard with Trademark Tours in Boston on the last morning of our Dallas to Boston road trip. The 70 minute Harvard University tours, or HahVahd tours, are guided by Harvard University students.

At the end of our Harvard campus tour, the girls had a gleam in their eye as they spoke about Harvard and college and Harvard University tuition costs. I could see they recognized the possibility and saw themselves in it.

We learned how difficult it is to be accepted into Harvard and how important it is to show academic commitment and good grades, even if you do have an athletic ability, your grades are equally as important.
