Jealousy
It's eating me alive. Some days more than others. I just don't understand why my kid can't get through college and others seem to have virtually no problems? Just found another friend who's two sons are very successful at a Christian based private college for which I'm sure they both got very good tennis scholarships. My kid got a full ride too, for volleyball--never played one game! Never even practiced a full practice due to her shoulder surgery. Now she's out. Can't get past that calculus and therefore won't have enough credits to play this spring. She's not going to take any summer classes because she wants to be home, instead of school for the summer. No sacrifices for that girl. I guess being 90 minutes away from home was just too much of a sacrifice for her. I thought it was much better than being 120 minutes from home, but I guess--what's 30 minutes? Now my other kid is talking her big college plans and its hard for me to not discourage her. She's the one who struggles to pull in high "B"'s as it is. And, I am supposed to jump in and fork out the big bucks knowing the chances are good she won't succeed. Please GOD! Prove me wrong!
