[quote=Anonymous]I was a lot like her, and I was frustrated by it. What took me a loooong time to realize is that almost no one is really really good at anything without a ton of practice. I didn’t have a passion for any one thing, and so I didn’t intensely practice one thing. So I was decent at a broad array of things. Still am. But in 9th grade I found my thing - rowing - and rowed through high school and college. And I was a good tower, but never the best. But it didn’t matter - what mattered was I loved it, and I tried every day to be the best. Your daughter will come to understand that being pretty darn good at most things is a spectacular gift that opens just about any door. If she want to get really good at one thing she is going to have to throw herself into it with passion - and she still may not be the best! But she’ll feel less at sea.[/quote]
