Like one of the other posts I was waiting for my student pilots licence (in the UK though, just showing my age!)so a few hours later than I should have gone.
I had a student though who had been recommended by a few instructors to give up, I gave him the same advice but he said that he enjoyed flying and wanted to keep going, I then continued with less emphasis on circuits and he finaly went solo after 60hrs+.
