Seth may be one of those kids who discover that college is exactly the 
right thing for them.  Both my girls had fine high school careers, but 
they both said after their first couple of weeks of college that they 
felt like the last four years had been a waste and they would have 
happily gone straight from middle school to college.  I remember feeling 
exactly the same way.
