[quote=Anonymous]A dear family friend was an excellent high school student and got into a very good college. The wheels came off the bus freshman year with multiple illnesses and then overwhelming anxiety. She withdrew, took a year off, and restarted at a new school. She’s doing great. Happy, successful, will graduate one year later than intended, but who cares? My daughter is a freshman and has adjusted to college beautifully…but the academics were a struggle. We are biting our nails to see if she passes one of her classes. If she fails…she’s learned something about herself and she’ll do better next time. Both my husband and I failed classes in college. It didn’t stop us, though in my case it made the decision for me that I was not going to med school. I may have been richer if I had been a doctor, but I wouldn’t have been happier.[/quote]
