My first instinct is to agree that I don’t envy her either, but her experience of childhood/school is so different than mine that I don’t even have a frame of reference. Maybe she’s having the time of her life? I hope so anyway
Could be. If 17 year old me had chosen my life trajectory I’d be having a bad time. Hopefully she has better advisors and plans that don’t have her chasing achievements as a way of life. Or an insatiable infatuation with chasing achievements. That can be a way of life too, just not one I’d want.
