<p>Congrats kidkrasher! My mom cried when I told her (and she does not cry). Its been a tough road! I’m scared she will have a straight up heart attack if I get into UCLA.</p>
<p>yeah i got in yesterday and today my fin aid is up. i don’t really understand it though. where it says “unofficial grants and scholarships” is that the amount that is covered and i do not have to pay?</p>
<p>@alexajam I am happy for you! It is always a great feeling when your parents show great joy to see their children accomplish their dreams!</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>@ the arc and alexjam</p>
<p>thanks, and crongratz also.</p>
<p>I’m still waiting for UCLA, if I don’t get in it will be between UCSB and UCSD.</p>
<p>what about you guys?</p>
<p>I’m glad your parents are happy for you. When I told my dad that I wanted to go to UCLA the first thing he did was to put me down by telling me that I don’t know how to take care of myself. That I don’t even know how to clean after myself. That I should value the things I have and some other stupid crap. That’s the kind of support I get at my place. My mom too is the only supportive although she is sad to know that i’ll be leaving this fall.</p>
<p>@kidkrasher, I’m in the same boat! UCLA is my top choice, if I had it my way.</p>
<p>Just last week my mom was saying that I shouldn’t hold my breath for any UC because of budget cuts, etc. I also want to eventually go to law school and age tried to talk me into being a teacher because she feels it’s more “practical” for me. </p>
<p>Let me speak from personal experience, as a mother and a daughter- they do NOT want to see us fail. At times, it appears A’s if they don’t believe in us and when we “need” our parents to be supportive and have more faith than we do, they fall short to our expectations. My mother has seen me struggle and fall on my face so many times that she came across as not “supporting” me when in reality she just couldn’t see me disappoint myself anymore. </p>
<p>I’m not going to lie, my mother is not aware of my full capabilities because I haven’t shown them to her due to whatever hang-ups, fears and resentments I have. I’m going to a UC in fall, whether it is UCSD, UCLA or UCSB is beyond my control right now and holy *****, that’s huge!!!</p>
<p>On your graduation day make sure to say “hey pops, remember when you thought I couldn’t handle this? Well, bam, here’s my bachelor’s degree”!!!</p>
