DD is 15 ( Y10) and doing her bronze and she's not feeling the love. She's quite academic, has a good range of other EC activities ( 2 instruments, dog agility/training, netball, Guides Senior Section, horses) and does quite a lot of babysitting and music tuition for paid work.
So she's busy and D of E is stressing her out. She wants to give it up, but is it worth persevering with?
She's not 100% sure what she wants to do, but has been keen on paramedical type stuff lately so is unlikely to be looking at getting competitive re uni.
DH went to Cambridge and he'd like her to have the opportunity to go there, but I really can't see her being that interested.
