[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you lead with the stats run down of your adult child. But who is your child if you cannot tell us how they are gifted, or tell us their GPA, or their degrees, or their awards?

How would you describe your kid in a positive way minus all of that? Can you begin to approach your kid in that way instead? After years spent chasing achievement, sometimes young adults wake up and think "who am I?" They never got to figure it out along the way while stat chasing.[/quote]

I was trying to give a picture of my child in a certain way to explain the context. I can talk about them without the GPA or academic achievement and I do not treat DC as an achievement chaser.

DC is extremely kind, empathetic and perceptive. Does not lie or cheat even to gain simple benefit. Has worked many years in elder care centers as volunteers when they were in schools and college. Was loved by elderly for being caring and respectful. They are socially conscious and was never interested in more money than what they need to meet basic needs. They were never into big name brand college or prestigious job title.

Does the above description gives a context to DC’s personality beyond academic achievement? [/quote]
