[quote=Anonymous]Why exactly does "not excelling in some obvious way" equal "doomed"? I feel like some people's definition of success is crazy narrow. You can work hard and get fine grades, run cross-country casually or even (gasp) not do a high school sport, participate in extra curriculars because you enjoy them and not because you're trying to pad a college application. You can go to a perfectly fine university where you can get a good education and be prepared for a productive and interesting career. You might not make enough to live inside the beltway or send your kids to private school. This is okay. Most people don't. You can do all of these things while being average. If your definition of success is being able to feel superior to your neighbors through your child's accomplishments, that's pretty grim. [/quote]
