[quote=Anonymous]By the time I was 10 I was routinely winning awards for creative writing and an individual sport. I had a professional coach and practiced daily. By middle school I had dropped out of both because it was intense and I became afraid of both success and failure (in part due to pressure from parents, teachers, coach). I didn't pursue the creative career I wanted, and am now derided for being a SAHM, and am finally (!) going after my dreams. My absolute greatest achievement is parenting kids who do well in school, are funny, kind, and easy going. I'm giving them the childhood that I believe would have better launched me for success. It has never occurred to me that something is missing in their lives because they've never won anything. [/quote]
