During my visit to San Antonio, I got to know some of my cousin Tina’s kids. Tina is the eldest daughter of my Crazy Tio Martin. I was really impressed by her oldest daughters, Amy and Mikaela. Both are determined to get into really good, out of state schools, and were asking Cyndi and I advice about how to improve their chances of admission. I was very pleased to meet such ambitious young people, and glad to meet someone else in the family who could recognize the benefits of moving far away for college.

Amy is an aspiring writer, and one of the ideas we discussed was establishing a reputation and demonstrating her skills and abilities for the colleges she was interested in. She loves to write, and had already started a blog some time ago, but it sort of died away. After speaking with us, she became enthusiastic about re-establishing an online presence, and just today, decided to give it another shot. I am proud to announce her blog here, and have added it to our “other blogs we read” on the left sidebar. She’s very special. Even the title is unique. I hope you enjoy Neutral Equilibrium
