Raising our children with resilience and self-reliance is the greatest thing we can do for them. Jack is fortunate to have parents who believe in him and his abilities. You did good!

Great post! Indeed, in a rapidly changing world, linear paths don't make sense any more - but like your son Jack demonstrates, creative problem solving does.

I especially enjoyed this essay. It’s a thoughtful look at how being flexible, and working hard can help us in not only career choices- but in life.

The guts she had to belt out a song at age 9 will absolutely be more valuable to your niece's future than what she studied for her bio exam, even if she goes to medical school!
