There's a reason why people dont get jobs until after high school. They ( county child welfare rights services) know its one more thing to do, means you cant do homework or get rested. Dont listen to the 'sucessfull crowd' that did it all but never did. Dont listen to the honor roll advisor willing to give you 'advanced and HARDER work beyond honor class'. Dont listen to the aunt or uncle that 'just want to see' as a medical experiment to make super children. you heard of children with divorced parents that are on doctor prescription mind drugs before age 18?
Your at 100% stretched someone wants another 100%, the other same is not even going at 10%.
Monkey Monkey off your back. that George Micheal song.
You will find the top performer at work being questioned for 2 mistakes in 4 months. The other low performance is allowed 10 mistakes for being a ''minority'' but from status is paid the same as the high performance employee.

I am wondering about the high school teacher. The person clearly said:
1. Harvard was in walking distance from my home in the 1960's.
2. I am a Electrical Engineer.
3. I am a UC grad too.
4. I am an accountant.
5. The teacher called the student dumb, but never checked the grades.
6. The CSU alumni said 'submit your transcript at your first job'.
7. The CSU Engineer alumni said 'any grade below a C- attach letter to explain'.

- When you apply for your first job, try to bring a photo-copy of your high school diploma. And a photo-copy of your college diploma. After sitting in HR listening, the HR clerk never called the school or the former jobs of the applicant.

I can tell you from working at a college retail job, then a hospital.
The job applicant waits as long as 2 months for a return call. It takes that long to find out if the person has a college degree, not counting the job experience.
I asked the retail hr, they dont want the extra paper transcript or letter; just did the person finish high school.
Then I found out, the employee paper file is in the trash can after the person left the company, or HR doesnt like the person. So the answer is 'Yes' for the first 3 calls, no there after.

It's always good to have some sort of support group so you can talk out your problems with people you can trust.

Respecting culture, religious beliefs and other peoples views are an important sensitivity for counselors.
