Hello Enola.
Being a parent is a full time job and accepting your daughter has grown up is probably one of the hardest things one must pass through.
You should be happy for her and proud for having such good results and being able to get so far so fast and support her as best as you can - let her know you are there for her but try not to suffocate her (yes i know, this is going to be the hardest part) because she will loose some of her interest in coming back home if you do so.
you should even celebrate with her as a sign of how happy you are for her - because that is how you should feel - happy ! that's a great accomplishment.
Hope this helped,
your dear friend,
Alex.

your right seeing them get older is hard an watching them grow towards other directions an away from good old mom is really hard but I am confident that no matter how much they move away I will always be here for them standing in the back with open arms for her

Its far better for her to be serious about education than to be like so many kids these days. Lazy, parked in front of the PS3 and unemployed still living at home. I commend her. Sure its a lot of work, but she's young enough to handle that.

oh she is serious thank god my two daughters were never the type to play the play station they use to help their granny out at the flea market so thankfully they do know about hard work
She has high ambitions for herself and she is smart too. I don't think that she is moving too fast. It is great that she is trying to obtain her educational goals.

I would be concerned that she will be missing some of her 'childhood' but if she truly knows what she wants out of life and has a way to go and achieve that then good for her. Hopefully she will be happy with her decision and will be very successful in her future endeavors! Best of luck to her in her future!
