[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 540635, member: 6546"] JJJ-- You are preaching to the choir over here! I've spent the last several years watching my daughter throw away her high school opportunities. She is going to graduate next spring (thank goodness) at the bottom 10% of her class. Had she put any effort at all into her school, she could have been in the top 25%. It used to really upset me... until I've closely observed the way she runs her life. She prefers to put minimal effort in across the board. With that kind of attitude - she really could not handle university....much less a demanding career. So she seems to be choosing a life path that suits her effort level. I hope you have a chance to open Piglet's eyes to how much even a small amount of effort can pay off... but in the end - she's going to have to choose success (if she wants it) for herself. [/QUOTE]
