Where to go from here?

Life is what happens when your busy making plans right? Right now I am in the beginning stages of helping my teenage daughter start thinking about college. It takes me back to when I was thinking about college myself. I never had amazing grades in high school. I was average. My daughter is gifted, she has been in honors classes since middle school, she is also musically gifted. I feel like it is a constant battle though to find out if she knows that or not. She has talent and I'd love nothing more than for her to utilize and grow that gift. She could follow her dream but I can't even get it out of her if she knows she has a gift.

I went to community college and started a degree in video production not thinking I was good enough to ever get to a University, it took me longer than most people but I did it! I got 2 AA degrees and then a BA in Communications. I got an internship with Entertainment Tonight and then somehow ended up woking in Soap Operas. I always wanted to direct TV and movies and was on a directing track when everything went sideways. When I had my first daughter I ended up with Post-Pardum Anxiety. I didn't know that was what was happening, all I knew is that I was angry or crying all the time and if I was away from my daughter it was worse. My husband didn't want to be a stay at home dad because he is an actor and has time between jobs and being home with a baby 7am-11pm almost daily was making him stressed and making me feel like a failure as a new mom. I ended up quitting my job and taking a new job that I thought would be better hours but it wasn't and it only made things worse.
