Have your family member ever bugged you of what college you want to attend? My family sure have, especially at a stage when you would be entering the senior year soon. I always wonder why parents would ask so much question about college, when I am not even at college yet. Even if I am at the stage of college my parents would pressure to tell me what school to go to and what not to go to.
I believe my college and career I want to be is my choice and not my parents, but especially in my culture, people would assume what you will be and what college you would attend. I have an older sister that attends Stony Brook University and my parents wouldn’t let me go to that school because it is too far away. They want me to stay in the city and be an accounting. I know parents only wants the best of their children’s, but aren’t they just overreacting a bit? I know every family want their children to attend the best college in the world, but no one is perfect. Perfection is not a world; it doesn’t exist in the world of education because no one is perfect.
College is a place that you will stay in a place for four years of your life and you cannot let parents control your life forever. I am not saying that you shouldn’t listen to your parents, but after high school it is your own life and how you will control it, since it is your future. Since I am going to enter my senior year next year, my parents are putting too much stress on me and what college I need to go to. Whatever my decision would be, it will be from my heart, since it will be my future and my life.
