She definitely has other activities/interests (swim team, tumbling, chorus and art class) but its just a curiosity to me to see her so single minded over the years. What I'm hoping will happen at her school is her getting a sense of whether or not she will continue to have an interest in medicine after delvong into it in a structured environment. I'd rather her know in 9th or 10th grade that she might want to do something else than year three of pre-med! I'll be a lot more confident that she can go the distance with this road if she is still as in love with it after 7 years (there's also a high school wing of the school) of exposure. What I'm getting here is affirmation that letting her be as absorbed as she might choose to be right now might not be the best thing for her...gotta facilitate exposure to lots of areas while still feeding her passion of the moment.
