Thanks to all of you for contributing to this conversation. My take away is that it is possible to be a late bloomer (we've got the tall and skinny down ), but the deck is stacked against you in so many ways. If you can survive the attrition and succeed as a late bloomer, then it reflects on your commitment, your determination to see this thing through, and to do it all in the face of significant head winds. I'm hoping that no matter how this all turns out for Jr., that he will have learned that without all of these things there is little chance for success at achieving high goals unless you are truly gifted. BUT, even without these gifts, hard work and dedication can make good things happen, and that goals worth striving for are achievable. There is a shorter proverb in here but its failing me now.

Have a great weekend y'all
