As our third of four children prepares to leave home, Im overcome with a quiet, profound joy. Weve raised another decent, capable human being, and that, to me, is success. In a world that often defines worth by job titles and salaries, I’ve wrestled with my own sense of value as a mostly stay-at-home, sometimes-paid-to-work mom. My ambition has never been tied to promotions or paychecks.

Alternate options were quite limited and carried a stigma among college admissions committees. For instance, it took a lot for a homeschooled student to get admitted to a selective college.

Georgetown is an internationally-leading research and academic university aimed at preparing the next generation of global citizens, with a particular focus on service, policy, and politics. The school is the oldest Catholic and Jesuit university in the United States. While its eminently possible to have a secular experience at Georgetown, the Jesuit ethos guides the central identity of the school, adding a layer of care for others on top of each aspect of the university.
