Your daughter sounds like a passionate young woman with commendable goals for her future. If she wants to help women, a degree in women's studies might be the perfect direction for her. This field is vast, so I suggest looking at programs and reading lists from various schools, both online and campus-based, depending on which learning environment she prefers. The focus of study can range from feminist theory or women's health to women in literature. Finding a program that is the right fit for your daughter is invaluable.

If in fact your daughter does lack a bit of motivation academically, one way to help keep her interested and focused on the future is to talk to people in who can help point her in the right direction for volunteering opportunities and possible internships. Hospitals, the court system, and local schools can all be sources of volunteer work. The more contacts she makes now, the more opportunities she will have for a paying position down the road. Also, she will be keeping herself busy helping people as she moves closer to that degree.
