Dear Janus, Earth Angel:

Good to read from you! In your post, your thinking reads reasonable and organized and the content is promising: you know your situations, all angles of it- your current professors’ teaching styles and grading policies, the requirements and due dates of applications to the three four year universities, the advantages of each, your strong preference for Rutgers, the limitations of your current health insurance, future transitioning possibilities, costs and locations.. excellent, being on top  of the practicalities of your situation.

You are receiving excellent LGBTQ support and guidance as well as counseling, and you will continue being connected to this community in your future four year university.

I hope you will be able to live on campus, not with your parents and that you will become more and more independent from your parents in every way, making your own choices thoughtfully and responsibly, no longer being burdened by their ways.

I like to think of you continuing your progress, living your life your way. I am glad you consider me your friend and am looking forward to read from you again.
