[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll never forget the school counselor who told me I'd never get into UVA so just forget it. well, I got accepted .. and I marched back to that counselors office with acceptance letter in my hand to show her she was wrong. It was a short conversation, she didn't have anything to say,, and my sassy teenage self left her office staying, 'hey thanks for the encouragement though' Ha! [/quote] And then you likely never had to see that counselor again. It's more difficult with an aunt -- when one bashes you at age 17 for something you're dreaming about, no matter how unrealistic the dream -- you don't forget it, ever. And then you have to see her for thanksgivings, Christmases etc. and you constantly feel like you must be tight lipped about the internship you're hoping for, the job you want after graduation, the apartment you're going to get etc. but you don't want to hear her negativity about it.[/quote]
