Secondary Education in Immigrant Families (Add on)

Sorry, forgot to answer the question you asked. In my case, yes I believe that making a plan will help in doing what my heart desires. It is how much effort I put into it and skill I possess after that. I'm not sure about other immigrant families but mine is perfectly fine with me going into whatever job I want (as long as its not... I think you get what I mean... =|) and I intend to.

I remember once, I asked my dad what he thought about me becoming a writer and he said, "You're gonna suffer alot girl. (I laughed when he said this = D) Whatever, its your choice and its your life. I'm not the one that has to choose, you have to do it." At the time I kinda found that having to make such a big decision was slightly intimidating but now that I think about it, the fact that he's trusting me to make such a decision is really comforting. It feels like, whatever I choose... actually will be best for me and the people around me. I'm not sure about immigrant families in general though... Mine is... Kind of white washed, for lack of any other expression. >.<
