[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were poor asian immigrants. Their biggest priority in life was getting me and my siblings set up with an excellent education. That meant renting a small apartment in a good neighborhood, no vacations, no restaurant outings, no summer camps, owning a beat up car, and my dad working 3 jobs to make ends meet. They succeeded in their main goal- I am very successful and so are my siblings. And many immigrant families I know have a similar story. It does make me wonder about Americans with no language barrier-- why don't they, either white or black, seem to work hard to make it? It is possible, clearly, as so many immigrants do it.[/quote] It starts with the parents and their ambition to strive for themselves and their kids. It's no wonder why over 50% of asians have bachelor's degree. It's the highest of the races.[/quote]
