Successful kids

Yesterday was the last day of schooling for this year. Alexander has progressed successfully from Primary 3A to Primary 4A next year. But there are 4 other classmates of his who didn't make the cut to 4A.

I personally don't think these four students are "worse" than the rest of their classmates, provided they were all working to their full potential. They may have talents in areas other than academics - sports, the arts, etc.

The dictionary defines success as "attaining wealth, fame or prosperity." My definition and wish for my child is to be a joyful and confident person who makes wise choices; to think and act morally.
