[quote=Anonymous]20.49 refers to 20.47

By the way, I had a carbon copy experience in North Carolina in the 1960s following entering this country.  I ignored the counselor who thought I was crazy with an occupational goal of pediatric neurosurgery.  He recommended that the kids from his school work predominantly at the local petrol stations and he felt this would be satisfactory in my case (I was a 13 year-old with a father caught in a far away war).  I knew what I wanted and politely asked him to send in the letters of reference (as requested by the schools I was applying to).  He was a counselor for 498 other students and seriously could not fathom why I wanted to "get out of the beautiful South" and head North to greener intellectual pastures.  The rest is history.  My 5 younger sibs have similar harrowing stories to tell as they struggled to find their way and fortunately escaped to all go the top colleges and graduate schools and are leading successfull lives with their families.  The advice we received in elementary, middle and high school was cloaked in preconceived notions of the educators and psychologists of the time.[/quote]
