I just want to add Richardrahl, that my daughter often stood alone in her efforts.
She had to remain self confident and that was constantly under scrutiny by others.

However, the new trainers saw that she worked very hard at trying to learn and accomplish her goal. They saw those who stood on the sidelines in doubt and how she ignored them and continued to work toward her goal. They never had to critique her as she was often already hard on herself and spent so much time struggling to learn and finally achieve. She was a dedicated student, and still is. And she became a better rider than her trainers. And she is now very respected in not only the sport of riding horses, but also in other areas of her life. And because she had to work so hard, she has the ability to pull every motion a part and teach others as well.

Often those that have natual affinities toward certain aspects in life do not make good teachers or councelors. It is those that have chosen to achieve and struggled to do so that possess the affinity to have compassion and understanding of others who wish to do the same.
