[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Focusing on passions sounds good but as you entered 9th grade, did you really know what your passions were?[/quote] I worry that my smart, competitive DC is so focused on being perfect at everything that he doesn't explore and try things that he isn't assured of being really good at. You got to test things out to find out if they spark something in you. You can find great joy and fulfillment out of activities that don't go on a college application or increase your future earning power. Spouse and I try very hard to model being game for anything and trying all sorts of new things, but that mostly proves that we're goofy to DC (and I'm sure we are). Obsessing about getting into college or future job prospects is a recipe for a shallow personality or lots of therapy later. [/quote]
