The oldest had trouble in school, she has a learning disability and has a slight case of CP. She recieved TOO much help in High School, and when it came time to go to college, she was lost, she then went to a JUCO, but by that time had lost interest and dropped out, got married and moved on with her life.
My middle daughter is 19, struggled to get A's and B's in High School, with the occasional C in math. She worked her tail off, and is now a very successful college student.
My son is 17, a Jr. in HS, in the top 10 percent of his class, never brings a book home, never studies. I worry about him in college because it's been too easy for him.
My point? I think you have to learn how to study to succeed in college, no matter how smart you are.
I had a 31 ACT, top 3 in my class, and failed out of Northern Illinois because I found out the Sigma Alpha Mu's had parties every other night.
