Mediocre? Let's say my son plays lacrosse, and other sports for that matter. Let's say he plays on an "A" team and contributes each time he steps on the field. Let's say he is an A+ student in an actual acadenically competitive school district and headed for honors next year. Let's say he has been defined by coaches and teachers as a leader and a unique individual. Let's say that he loves sports, and school, and his friends, that his goals in life are his to achieve and reach far beyond "the next level". Should we say he is mediocre?
Or should he work really hard, day in and day out playing lacrosse, and have his goal be MLL? so you can consider him more than mediocre? I really care what you think, please enlighten me.
I think you took this totally the wrong way. I was in no way referring to anyones child as mediocre, I was commenting on modern day society's acceptance of the average and mediocre, however when someone strives for excellence, he is considered "over the top" or "crazy".
I'm sure your son is special just like mine is, and regardless of lacrosse, all kids are capable of great things.
Apologies if you took offense, that was not my intention at all |
