[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who failed out of college, an HYPS, which made it even more shameful.  He had to take a semester off to retake the classes he failed. He did this in a pleasant location where he had been interning over the summer and continued his internship (i.e. he did not move back home).  He passed the classes and came back and graduated, albeit with a low GPA.  He was in pre-med classes that he really didn't want to take (son of immigrants, lots of pressure to be a doctor but really didn't want to be one).  Had taken a lot of drugs and alcohol to deal with the pressure.  He was great at the things he was interested in and showed brilliance at times, enough to get good letters of recommendation for grad school.  Twenty years later he's extremely successful in his field.  He just had to ditch what his parents wanted for him and pursue his passion.  I promise this is not the end of the road for your child!  What fires your child up?  What does she want to do?  Let her decide and try that out.  [/quote]
