Going back to school as an adult is a specific kind of ambitious. There is usually a job, and often a family, and definitely a full calendar that does not have extra hours in it, and they are adding a degree or a certification or a program to all of that because they decided it was worth it. Maybe it opens a door they've wanted to walk through for years. Maybe it is a pivot that requires credentials they don't have yet. Maybe they just want to know more about something and the formal structure helps. Whatever the reason, they made this choice with full information about how hard it would be, which is actually more courageous than doing it at twenty-two when you don't know yet what your time is worth. The gift for them is something that makes the logistics easier, or makes the studying more comfortable, or simply says I see how much you're carrying and I think it's impressive.
