Understand that forming an identity and becoming involved in college is as important as math and history. My parents told me as long as I was doing my best, that was good enough for them. They also told me to enjoy college and have fun. My parents and I are very close. They let me go out on my own, but they have always let me know they were there for me.
College is a great experience, but a time for growth.
If parents are supportive, students will be appreciative. My parents really surprised me. They were so supportive when I moved here. Being part of all the different organizations has been the highlight of college. My parents encouraged my extracurricular activities.
