Jennifer, thank you for telling us about your brother. What a heart-breaker for all your family. We've seen something of this problem with the Olympic athletes who age out of their sports -- what do they do, who are they if they aren't training or competing? Always keep an eye on your own (self) identity, because life happens, things can change, and we need to be able to change with it.

Thanks, Carolyn and exactly right. Diversification of interests seems paramount to me, as I raise my sons. I'd rather they be polymaths than experts in something from the jump.
