“For college，” he added.“I want to do really well in college， Mom. I know it will be ___53___， but I think it’s important that I try to do my best.”
My oldest son wasn’t perfect. He wasn’t a math talent， either. But he knew what was important： he was focusing on his ___54___ while I was worrying over his past.And that， to me， is even better than being ___55___.
