Kay, my last comment was in no way directed at you, specifically. All I said was that since my daughter has proven that she can be a straight A student, she has set our expectations at that level, and she hasn't had to work terribly hard to maintain that status. So for her to bring home lower grades would mean that she needs to put a little more effort into it. That's all I was saying. Next year, when she starts high school, it could all change. If she worked really hard and couldn't achieve straight A's, I wouldn't fault her for that at all! I think I got straight A's once in my whole life, in the 4th grade!!

It's those who don't seem to care that worry and upset me the most because I know they are caring, bright people and are capable of doing well. Yes, that includes you because I believe you to be one of the brightest, most caring and most outstanding young people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

I know I'm an "old lady" and I'm coming from a mother's point of view in this. But I've lived it and I just know that although it isn't a popular view, having a college diploma will help in the future for all of you. I don't even do what I studied for a living now, but having that diploma opened some doors for me that otherwise would not have been opened. It is certainly not a necessity, but I do believe it helps. I'll shut up now, but hope I gave a little more insight into where I'm coming from.
