Maybe she looked at Tara and Michelle and said "I don't want to be doing this in 10 years. There's got to be more to life than another medal, another title." Regardless, the choice is hers to make. She already got the big brass ring. The other titles probably don't have the same cache in her book.
She devoted her childhood and teen years to chasing a dream. Well, it came true. Now she's an adult, and she's decided to chase other dreams. What's so wrong with that? Yes, it would have been wonderful to see her develop her artistry beyond what it was, but, again, that is HER choice, not anyone else's.
I spent 6 years in music school (and that was in addition to my first degree), and now I sell real estate. Does that mean I wasted my time in school? No, I just had different goals once my daughter started school. I bring this up to illustrate that people's goals shift in life--that's just, well, LIFE!
