So this is a follow up from my last post. As I said I have been looking into different colleges and researching them a bit. And well I finally found one that I really liked,(I havent visited the campus yet but) it seems perfect for me, because:
1. my gpa is slightly higher than the average gpa
2. its far enough away from home and yet still close enough that i can visit my family whenever I want(and my grandparents live in the area)
3. I really like the area, cause it has a nice climate and its relatively safe
4. I want to play sports in college and its a lower divison school so i could get on the team easier.
5. and most importantly they have what I want to major in! Well now all those reasons seem pretty good right?!?!
Well I show my mother the schools broucher, and she looks at it and tells me that I still need to research more schools and visit them and blah blah blah. Now originally I wanted to go to a different, more well known school, (I havent visited this campus either) but they dont have the major I want and its a higher divison in sports. My mother still feels pretty intent on me going to the original school, and I think she looks down on the other school and feels that I'm too good for it.
And I know that she only wants the best for me, but sometimes the best is just too good for me. I just hope over time she will realize this is my life and I will do what I want to do with it.....
This is similar to the time when I finally knew what I wanted to be, and I told my mother, and she told me I need to research more jobs and see what else is out there, and she was constantly nagging me about becoming an engineer or doctor or heck! even an astronaut!?!
Thats all for now
