My 15 year old daughter tells me everyday how much she wants to be a doctor. She watchs that Grey Anatomy show on television and admires them and wants to be just like them. The thing is, my daughter has always had trouble with school work. She had to repeat 5th grade, and now that she's in high school, with after-school tutoring and all the hard work my husband and I do, she barely manages to get C's. I truly don't think that she can get accepted to medical school one day, but at the same time, I feel that she can put anything she puts her mind to. I always encourage her and tell her that yes she can be a doctor, but at the same time I know in the back of my mind that she might not be that smart. Especially since she is very weak in science and math. As a parent, what can I do to help her achieve her goal? Or, do you think that she will change her career goals as she gets older?
