 There is a fine line between being a concerned parent and one that doesn’t know when to let go.

      As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m   36   how hard it is to stay on the right side of this line.   37   I tightly hold the string (绳) connecting us, Nicole,   38   to taste her independence,   39   hard at it, trying to get out of my control. We act as if we were dancing kind of tango (探戈舞). So we reached a(n)   40  . She accepted that as her mother, I had a right to express my idea and   41   suggestions. I accepted that I had to trust her   42   and respect her choices. I bit my lip a few times and Nicole shot me a few glares,   43   our agreement held.

      Thank God! She was finally accepted by a great university. When the time came for registration (注册), we went to an introductory meeting together, but then parents and students were   44  . “You may be paying the tuition (学费).” a university   45   told the parents, “but choosing classes really is the students’  46  . ”

      Obviously, I wasn’t the only parent having a hard time   47  . The night before, I had carefully read the course catalog (目录) and   48    classes I thought looked good. As Nicole went   49   to meet her adviser, we agreed to meet for lunch before registration. “  50   those courses I marked.” I called to her.

      We met three hours 1ater in the   51   hall. Nicole was excited and said to me, “Mum, I have my   52   schedule figured out. It’s great. Look at what I’m taking.” I examined the   53  . Nicole had not taken a single one of the classes I had   54  . Every class she had chosen exactly suited her interests. Though somewhat disappointed, I felt   55   that my daughter had grown into an able girl.
