[quote=Anonymous]Have a HS junior, only child. She struggled early in HS but junior year all A-, B+, B, B-. I tell her that colleges look for progression so not to worry about freshman year. For the ACT she has been getting around 14-16 even after a review course while her school average is 23. I tend to be a parent who puts a lot of pressure on myself and feel like a failure because of her score. When she was little, I dreamed of someday visiting colleges with ivy covered walls but that apparently is not going to happen. She wants to attend a community college for a year, get her grades up, and then go to a four year school. Maybe this is more about me than her, but I am beating myself over the head with this - what did I do wrong? was I a bad parent? was I not strict enough, etc.? I also worry that because of this score she will not do well later in life and be road kill in the global economy. Any suggestions on what I can/should do to help her? [/quote]
