昨天下班接女儿,女儿一见老爸就兴奋地喊起来:“Finally, I have a college to attend!”老爸知道女儿被大学录取了,就和女儿一路聊天,打听其他孩子的情况。由于是5点才公布,女儿就知道两位朋友的情况。大多数孩子都是和女儿一样,把州立大学当“垫底”的,还在为最后其他大学申请作最后准备。
谈起了女儿的好朋友E,她也被州立大学录取。不过女儿说E这个学期选修的课太tough,把数学课程里最难的微积分和统计课都选了,上个半学期的成绩不理想,在和她妈妈生气呢。女儿说:“Dad, you meet E's mom every weekend in Chinese school. Would you please chat with her a little bit about it? E is working really hard right now. You know how hard it was for me. ”
老爸只能点头说ok。女儿又说另一个朋友也和妈妈有矛盾,说Asian parent 就知道push。老爸哈哈一笑,“Did I do that to you?”
女儿说:“You are the most americanized Asian dad, as far as I know. When I had a bad score or grade, you did not simply blame me. Instead, you worked together to help me find a way to improve. I am going to nominate you as the most americanized parent in our Asian-American club, and we want to interview you about your thought about americanization......”
Very detail and good tips for college application. Thanks for the sharing.

Haha, "finally have a college to attend." What a relief, huh....
CMC (CA)is due tomorrow. She is working on the applycation now.:(. I just can not believe why kids always want to drag on until the last minutes.

Thanks! I tried to guide her into biology since she is interested in it, but she does not want to go further. :(. Like me, she hates to see blood, so no interest in medicine. Business or economy is her interest at this moment. We have a lot of discussion at home about investment. She wants to start once she is 18 and can open a roth IRA account.
Hopefully I don't have to file my tax return after she get a CPA. This state university has a high rate of CPA after 5 year accounting program.

Thanks! However, I am still troubled by my son--boys are totally different from girls. A lot to learn for me ahead. I hope I can handle my son as smoothly as I did to my daughter.:).
