[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just have a perfectly nice regular kid. Not a stellar athlete nor a drama maven nor a superstar all APs academic - just a regular old good kid. 
I am feeling just - tense - with so much college noise. Hooked/unhooked, legacy, etc etc - just - it's all so much. I do not remember it being this way when I was growing up. I'd been coming to this board and just seeing the posts make me feel geared up. Is anyone else feeling like me? I wouldn't call my kid "awesomely average" (I know that's a Facebook group) but just not like - "special" in the way it feels like you need to be now either? Like he's just a well-rounded kid who does some clubs, plays a sport at a decent but not standout level, and is nice with plenty of friends? Where are these parents, where are my people?

At the end of the day, it is the good, mentally healthy kid who will do great in college and in society. Life doesn't stop at college admission. If a kid is smart, hard-working, and finds what they like to do, they will be fine. Plus, there are so many factors that matter much more than college, e.g., internships, relationships, etc. Just relax and leave the kids are who they are. [/quote]
