The lesson is really not to compare. I don’t know why people fall into the comparison/competitve thing…maybe just because College selection is a competitive process when seen from certain angles.

I have to say that there aren’t a lot of situations where my kids accomplishments would be something I would bring up in the face of someone sharing thier own kids disappointments. However, I wouldn’t necessarily share the details of my own kids struggles with that person either. Sometimes, I think, we all just need to hear that people DO struggle, not the nitty gritty details.

UNless of course the struggling person is Tiger Woods! In which case, we seem to need to hear the details.
