Greetings!

Welcome to the first edition of ASAP Parent to Parent News.  
Back to School!

Do you have a son or daughter heading back to college?  Or perhaps this is your first time sending your child away to college?
 
It's an exciting time for them - new friends, new school, challenging courses, and lots of things going on.   Most do well and thrive, but experiencing personal challenges and difficulties are also very normal.  They have family and friends to call on when they need help, but sometimes it is tough to share what is going on with those closest to them.  ASAP - AffinityCare Student Assistance Program  can help your student when times are stressful and support and guidance are needed.   Our 24/7 telephonic counseling line is available anytime - day or night!  No problem is too large or too small.
 
Learn more about how this program can be a resource to help you and your child have a successful college experience!
Introducing College Mom in Debt

I am College Mom in Debt.  I am 48 years old.  

Both my husband and I were the first generation in each of our families to secure a four year college education.  I remember the sacrifices my parents made to get me to and through college.  And my husband remembers the personal sacrifices he made as he made his own way through while in the military and after completing military service.

Together my husband and I are paying it forward as we support the next generation in getting four year degrees.   We have succeeded in getting one daughter through college, have one in college and have one who will go to college in about seven years.
Letting Go

"How can you let her go so far from home?" is a question that many of my friends asked when my firstborn opted to go 2,101 miles from home to go to college.
We welcome story ideas or submissions from our readers.  Please feel free to give us feedback regarding this communication.
