[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in college. She struggled in HS in several classes; had to work VERY hard, with a ton of drama and misery, to get the grades that got her into a good but not statusy school. I was sincerely worried, in my darker moments, that college would be too much for her. And now that she's there? She's crushing it. A's across the board, and zero drama and misery to get there. Her least successful HS subjects have turned out to be some of her favorites in college. The kid I used to have to goad to meet deadlines is now happily locking in for hours at a time, beating every deadline, and now knows more than I do about certain subjects.

This is to say, HS and college are very different environments. Just the obvious stuff, like being with other students who want to be there, and professors who put their lives into this one subject, is huge. But also, a little extra maturity goes a long way.

Try not to fret! She might very well thrive, and if that first physics course demonstrates that the subject isn't for her, there's plenty of time to reevaluate. [/quote]
Not OP, but this is what I'm hoping for for my DC.  I think maturity has a lot to do with it, too.[/quote]
