[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a child of poor Asian immigrants. My parents were not relaxed. They were just trying to survive in a new country and they never signed me up for anything or drove me anywhere. I was on my own. I took advantage of every opportunity that was given to me at school. I had to sign up on my own. Every activity I did was at my school.

I want my kids to at least try everything because I never had the chance. I want them to try dance, robotics, swim, piano, debate and everything else that they have the slightest interest in. I’m happy to support them in what they enjoy and excel in. My kids all play sports competitively.[/quote]

How did you turn out?[/quote]

I went to a good college and went to Harvard for grad school. I met Dh there. Dh is the type of guy who is good at everything. My kids take after him. I was only good at school. I often wonder if I would have been good at other things if given the opportunity when I was a child. [/quote]
