Oh, well, if you should ever think about UCLA, my son-in-law is there and I'm sure he and my daughter would love to help you get started, show you the ropes, etc. However, you might be more comfortable being around your siblings? One thing I noticed with my kids, it's hard for them having to move away from each other. I theorize that they had so much instability in their lives, having to adjust to living outside of the hallowed walls of a cult, learn to adjust to normal living and having no father or childhood friends, no solid family structure or support, left them quite dependent on each other. All they had was each other to count on. I've pondered about this and have wondered what is the best thing to do. So far, most of us are within 60 miles of each other, but one moved down south about 300 miles away, and that's been kind of tough. So, you might want to think about that. Of course, just the opposite could be true though, that moving away could be just what you need in getting a very fresh start and concentrating on your studies. You have taken on a lot of responsibility at a very young age. It's time to think about youself. If you were to succeed in your plans, just think how much more prepared you will be to help your siblings. It's a thought.
