Ugh! I just wrote a long post about what it is like to be Asian and have all these academic expectations, but I accidentally deleted it!
Anyways, in short, I am extremely unsuccessful. I wish I were like Dr. Bob or my sister who is doing a Masters in biochemistry on her way to her Ph.D.
I used to have potential. I used to be considered smart and university was a given for me, but look at me now.
I wish I could be reincarnated and start over again.
My self worth is tied into my academic achievements or lack thereof.
