I wonder whether Mia is considering University and whether that she would study in Costa Rica or another country, the UK for instance? Obviously, Uni is not for everyone and it can be more hassle than it's worth, however it could be really good for her socially if she has the necessary academic qualifications. I feel like at 17 I was already preparing my personal statement and starting to think seriously about where I would study and what I would do. She could even study Spanish and do really well! As Uni isn't just for the degree it's about growing up, and being independent as well, or that's what I like to tell myself
