Hi, I’m 47 and wondering if you have or would consider doing a talk about college and anxiety for older students going to college for the first time and also maybe also if the older student has a child or teen. I’m 47 and starting college this Fall and moving to where my college is and getting my Bachelor of science and then hoping to get my masters. Also, this video and talk has great information so thank you for having this talk and posting it.
