[quote=Anonymous]"What I have come to realize about UMC life, at least for UMC non-immigrant white people, is that you constantly have reinforced for you that the world just kinda “works” in your favor, that overall UMC people just seem to somehow have things work out for them. This is why UMC parents have more luxury to be able to say they their kids can “explore their passions” or “be themselves” versus doing extra homework on the weekend or having to take on a Tiger Mom role or something. Not sure you can directly teach this or that you should, but it might be helpful to understand the subtle messaging other UMC kids receive." THIS!!! That ease and willingness to take risks enables you to become all you could be. It's really an important part of success that is rarely acknowledged. Knowing that you have something to fall back on is so valuable. Kids who grow up with this have so much more going for them than those who learn to play it safe. [/quote]
