Re: Overbearing Parents
It sounds like the issue here is that your parents truly believe that grades and exam scores are the end-all be-all of academia. While this may be true in China, it is not true in the US.
What do you think you can do to convince them of this fact?
I'm sure we, the CD community, could supply numerous anecdotes of people with less-than-perfect grades excelling in their chosen fields.
Is there something else that might help? Webcasts of various company executives talking at opening and closing ceremonies about how they love to hire FIRST participants?
