<p>ok- I’ll bite… (against my better judgement??? )</p>
<p>having been blessed with one of each, what I found is that the expectation for each was the same… “be yourself, do your best, and be as perfect as you can” just about sums it up. </p>
<p>The competetion for college was equally as gruelling…wait, let me change that… it was equally as challenging, based on the demands of the schools they chose and the admission requirements of each…but in this regard, I would have to say the selection process was easier for one than the other. And both were recruited athletes.</p>
<p>One might assume it was easier for our son, but the truth is it was easier for our daughter… female athletes are a tad less in number, thus one has better odds to to “stand out” in the crowd, unlike our son, by far the more superior athlete, who was in a crowd of other superior athletes, all competeting for a very limited number of spots.</p>
<p>Is life unfair??? Guess it’s all a matter of how you look at it, and from what perspective and through what lens.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that the story can be arugued from either side- just as effortlessly, just as compelling. We all have our bias!</p>
<p>(and if you thing girls are the only ones worrying about their weight or “looking good,” I have cartons of hair gel and cologne and nutritional suppliments I can send you from a male mid who can’t use any of them right now!!!
