<p>INVENIAMVIAM - I admire you and your confidence in yourself. I am sorry if my thread came off as an exaggerated whine. However, its true that I am stressed out and I feel comfortable posting my problems or sharing my “whining” if you will, with CC only because I know many are in the same position as me. </p>
<p>As for the parental advice - I would say just be there for moral support. I wish my parents would encourage me just a little bit to tell me how im doing even if i am not doing my best - after all theres always hope! I just wish my parents would understand, unlike their education-style back in India, we have multiple things going on in our lives BESIDES studying. They simply don’t understand the stress we have to go through…</p>
