Comment on Ask HN: Obsessive Asian Parents

Comments

I started off as a pre-med with guaranteed admission to medical school through Northwestern University's HPME.

I'm currently a Junior, majoring in Computer Science, Economics and a minor in Business. Oh, and I'm also battling uphill to rebuild my resume/GPA.

I sat down with my parents and explained to them what I needed to do in order to be personally satisfied, and explained what my best options would be. I was surprised at how readily they accepted my words and allowed me to move.

Just gotta try and talk. Eventually they'll realize they can't control your destiny in the long-run (beyond the habits they've given you and the influence they've had on you).

Good luck.
