2.4 Read the extract below and answer the question that follows.
8 distinctions proved to be not good enough
Our daughter received her matric results two weeks ago. She obtained 8 distinctions
and an overall average of 90%. She also obtained her national colours in hockey and
athletics. She was also the chairperson of the RCL at a prestigious school. Additionally,
she even learned IsiZulu to improve her communication skills. After popping the
champagne, we now have to dry our tears because she has not been accepted at the
medical school. Her goal was to specialise in paediatrics and that was the driving force
behind the good performance. How does one console your child in such a situation?
