<p>My parents sent me to a Christian school, because my mother is a Christian and wanted me there. My dad is not. The school(s) my dad loves is a very liberal, out of state (far from home), and expensive school. I do not even know if I could get in there.</p>
<p>I attend a top ranked public school now. I am in the top 10% of my class. I take the SAT next month. My PSAT is right on the border and might or might not make me a national merit semifinalist. I was already invited to a “national scholars” day at Texas A&M.</p>
<p>My dad thinks I am “wasting” myself and “throwing away” my talent when I really just want to stay in the south, not too far from home. He went to a top school and thinks I belong there too. </p>
<p>He cannot seem to accept that I am just not him. I don’t want to go to a school where I won’t fit in at all.</p>
