“It does not matter what you do in college. What matters is who you become in college.” - with both of my kids it was crucial for them to “do in college” what they have planned to do and it was also very important to grow personally. So, I disagree with the first half and agree with the second half. I told both just one simple thing: “Always keep in mind why you are at college and not somewhere else, many loose this prospective”. Both of them realized that the college grades were important for them. S. improved his academic standing a lot at college, while D. was able to maintain her level. Both successfully pursuit the learning outside of lecture / classes, both worked while at college and both successfully transition to the next step after college. I can only hope that their own kids will do just that. Simple, straight forward approach seems to be working well, no reason to change.
