<p>That’s my problem. My current school’s academics are not challenging enough and i often have classes with older students, decreasing my social status tremendously. I am trying to convince my parents that boarding school will help me as I will have the chance to go as far as a can academicly and not be referred to as just “the smart girl”. They are slowly starting to budge their reluctance, although i think the big numbers all at once are kind of scaring my parents. I think my siblings and family don’t want to give up anything for me to attend boarding school, but we daily give up things for my sister to follow her ice skating dreams. I bet in the end they will see that boarding school is one of the best opportunities they can give me.</p>
