My granddaughter has several colleges interested in her. She is very excited, however, there is a naysayer in the family. Every time my granddaughter brings up the subject in his presence he makes comments like, "Swimming isn't your life," or "It is a waste of time because it won't get you a job." If she says, "What if I want to be a swim coach?" He says, "Sounds like a hobby, not a job."
My question, what doors did swimming for a college/university open for you after graduation?
Yes, I believe she will do fine in college. And you got that right, he was one of the ones who did just enough to get a "C". Fortunately she doesn't see him a lot, but you can see her deflate when he makes those remarks.
