[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 184094, member: 2063"] Truthfully this is a much bigger problem than it seems at face value. Let me explain. She passed the written portion of things and that is miraculous for her as she normally does things the other way. Passes whatever it is and struggles on the questions. Last year she took lifeguarding in school. Passed all the skills with flying colors. Written test not so much. She passed enough to pass the class but not enough to get the certification. So I asked her what her plan was. She said she would retest. Then she came up with a whole bucket of reasons not to do so and didn't. When things get hard she retreats. Now she is interested in the Navy. And when push comes to shove she can't just walk from that. I think it is just cuz he is a jerk that she doesn't like him. Not that I blame her because he brings out the need to put the smack down on him, but she can't always walk away when things don't work the first time. I just wish I knew how to get her to stop doing that. Oh wait I just stopped doing that a few years ago. I mean I had a lovely drivers ed teacher in school. (dripping in sarcasm) He saw me on the first day of school the following year and said "Wow, I am surprised to see you are still alive." As if that wasn't a confidence booster. So it isn't like I dont' understand. But geez. Finish something already. beth [/QUOTE]
