<p>I just wanted to say thanks for being so kind and understanding. I'm actually feeling a lot better about my B. I think I just needed let it out. Thank you again. Really.</p>
<p>Sorry, I meant for those who were kind and understanding.</p>
<p>"Citygirlsmom-please don't chide me with all that "issues of the world" stuff because you don't have the right to do so without knowing me. I mean, did you know that gangsters, drug dealers, and prostitutes have been my neighbors my whole life? That that people get shot walking down my street all the time? Or that my dad work odd jobs while my mom worked backbreaking hours as sweatshop seamstress just to feed my siblings and me? How about the fact that I had to poke my dad with needles everyday while I watched him die of cancer and then find out that my mom might have cancer too? No, you didn't know all of that. After all my parents have been through, all they asked of me was to keep my A's. My dad's dream was to see me make it to Princeton and when he was sick, I promised him I would. I love my parents more than anything and I just wanted to accomplish what they asked of me because they've given so much to me, so why can't I feel dejected? So please don't accuse me of putting my grades or college before my parents. I understand you couldn't have known all that from my post all but geez, this is a forum. Maybe I just wanted to post how upset I was to get it off my chest and hear some reassurance without having to display all my baggage. So much for that."</p>
<p>^^^ That didn't sound one bit sincere. Sorry.</p>
<p>if you're upset about one B in your life, I don't know how you're going to handle the rest of your life.</p>
<p>This thread is hilarious. Perfectionist overachievers are so out of touch with reality.</p>
