Don't waste your time worrying now about it. It's just unnecessary stress. It'll become very clear once you actually start studying.

Ok...

After my soph year in high school i dual enrolled at my local community college. I was suppose to stay there for two years and get my high school diploma and associates degree simultaneously. But....I ended up getting all that in one year.

I entered at 16, got my associates in 1 year, now I'm a transfer student at my local university with junior status. I'm about to turn 18 tho on sep 9th! 👍

Thanks and i really hope so..that's the only thing im honestly worried about when it comes time. because thats make it or break it. I'm serisouly just wanting to stay in Texas and UT-houston is my top choice for sure. 👍

It'll be a lot easier for you to get into a UT school because of your in state status compared to other schools, so that's a plus.

Lol @ the parents thinking you are a shoe in. Every time my parents talk about me wanting to go to med school my dad brings up how I better be ready to get trained in mexico/Caribbean. My dad is convinced I will not get into medical school. 😀

Haha its ok. My father and I have a weird relationship. In the end I would rather they were surprised at my results than disappointed at not getting in.

I showed my mom my transcript yesterday for the first time....ever....

They never ask for it?

My parents are top of me, they know every class im taking, every single grade for every course I've taken .They keep track of my whole education make sure I'm not wasting money or time.
 
when my parents ask me if I have a boyfriend..

me: 'no'

mom: 'vennijann, rr you a lesssssbbeeannn!?"

HAHAHAHAHAHA story of me and my sister's lives!!!! Well, except the lesbian part for me since I'm a guy. They're like, "Vow, you're a very patient boy. Two years of cahllege and no gyohlfriend? Vot about zis gyol you talk to last night? Oh, she just friend? Vy not more zen friend?"

For my sister: "Vot are you, lyesbianka?!"

<3 Russian parents 😀😀

She must have been really proud. 😱

My dad and I have a weird relationship too. He's more concerned about my financial future than anything else, so any move I make is scrutinized for the financial implications. Aka he doesn't respect most of the decisions I end up making. 😳

Wait.... seriously? I call my dad every day from college and tell him my STUDY PLAN for all of my classes. I ask him his opinion of it, he tells me, I usually ignore it (haha), and go off to study. I also usually tell him what I learned in class that day, what kind of homework assignments I had, what kind of reading I had to do for classes, what interesting conversations I had with friends, every conversation I have with professors, even what kind of social interactions I'd had that day. Basically, he's appraised of every important/less important happening that occurs every day at school 😱 I'm surprised that he even cares about it all, but he's always really interested! Probably he's a science nerd like me, so it's interesting for him too.

Sounds to me like they're control freaks...no offense. Sounds like they're rushing you by making sure you don't "waste" money..at least from what I can tell.

Wow, I guess I really lucked out in terms of my parents. They're really supportive of my medical aspirations, and I share with them all of my homework assignment grades, problem set grades, test grades, projected test grades, worries about failed test grades...

I take back what I just said. KPaw has a very good relationship with his father. That's crazy...you must talk to him a lot every day 👍

Nah my dad is very supportive, I know it might sound like he's controlling--he's totally the opposite. But he's just really trying to support me and I honestly believe every parent should be on top of their kid while they're in school. Because there's a lot of kids failing their classes wasting their parents money, but then again its the parents fault for not even checking on their own kid, the only thing they care about is that their kid left the house finally.


Other then all that, my parents want to be on the same level as me as to understanding the whole process and understanding what classes i take and my grades and all my ec's etc. Honestly i constantly update them.
 
Dude you have a way of making me laugh everytime :roflcopter::roflcopter:🤣🤣 I can only imagine how much you'd make me laugh in rl 😀

Hahahahaha, d'awwwww, thanks t-dizzle!!! I'm chock-full of the Russian parent jokes 👍👍 I love my parents: they're the perfect balance of half-American (from living here 20 years), and half-crazy-Russian-on-the-inside. It's the latter that gets me through 👍

My parents just don't understand with the whole language barrier and all. I try to explain to them in bengali, but putting complicated english words to bengali is out of my skill range 😛

Yeah, I do! He's awesome, he just really gets where I come from. It's so nice to have a little slice of home on the other line at the end of a hard day at school, it reminds you of your roots, where you come from, and why you're doing what you're doing.
