My daughter has just started her 2nd year and is struggling again - she scraped through the first year with a 3rd, and now feels again like an imposter as she's struggling to keep up, take on the material and is regularly needing a gee-up from us (several times a week at the moment).
Her Director of Studies reassured her that she's 'worthy', and has the ability, but is he maybe just trying to keep the fees coming in, and to keep her on, or is it real belief?...
We can't maintain the positivity as we're running out of things to say - she's clearly bright but a procrastinator and then berates herself for not doing the work, then struggling - it's pretty hard to watch - does she need tough love or a new Uni??
