My parents met in college and eventually got married, so they stress enough to me that it’s very important to focus on my grades first and other activities second. At first I wouldn’t listen because I thought they couldn’t possibly understand a thing I’m going through. I took some time, but eventually I received some wisdom and decided to listen. They know a lot more then I give them credit for. I just wanted to experience things on my own instead being coddled like a child. I’m wiser then I was before I left for college, and I plan on staying here for another 3 years.
