Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4490275, member: 12088"] I think a lot may have depended on Inês coming from the Azores, where local opportunities may have been few. She was going to have to leave home to accomplish anything significant, and her willingness to go abroad even to go to a JuCo must say something about her ambition. She passed up any European pro or semi-pro options to go to a tiny college in Florida. I'm so glad we found her exactly when we did. It looks like Inês hit a sort of jackpot, too, getting a first class education and advancing her possible professional career beyond what that other option would have made possible. [/QUOTE]
