17's are not going to cut it at any DII school unless you're female. Think you better look at academics first.

After you, brat.
Yes, and there is a 20$ option from the college to my hometown by train.
PeeWee and Bill both do an excellent job with coaching XC and track. You can also run almost anywhere in Bellingham at any time of the year. If you end up at WWU, make sure to run the Lake Samish loop (clockwise direction recommended). It's about 14 mile road loop, very hilly, but a blast to do!
Oh, and it's "WITH all due respect . . . "
Yes I know 17s wont cut it. I was planning on being a part time student my first year so I could make some cash money (for spending) and so I could train to get better. Why a part time student?
To take a break, and most importantly so I dont begin my NCAA eligibility clock. I am pretty young for my grade. I dont turn 18 till end of summer.
Ok ok I get the message.
Academic scholarships allow less than full-time status?
Part time student on scholarship?
trust me, asian parents will ALWAYS be on your ass about stuff. if theyre on your ass when you live 20 minutes away, they'll still be on you ass when you live 20 hours away. even if they pay for an apartment or dorm for you to live in, you're still not gonna be independent from them--but i feel your pain in their demands to commute from home.
i know nothing about teaching programs, though i did teach english in china/korea, but i thought it required a separate teaching degree/credential after college. by that time, you should be able to support yourself and get the credentials. you can still major in history or english at UW, if that's where you end up. im sure there are plenty of teachers that have graduated from UW.
bottom line is that unless you can convince your parents to accept WW/WSU, then it's still their money you'll be using for school and they want to spend their money the best way they see fit. sucks, but so does life sometimes when you have to play with other people's money.
Lang Shao, are you on computer again? I tell you no more Starcraft!
Actually no,
But I have talked to the admissions counselor and this is what they said.
I can be a part time student (with my own funds) but i can start using the scholarship once i do become a full time student.
So like I said, I plan to get a job while being being a part time student and training my ass off because running means a lot to me.
If running didn't mean a lot to mean I wouldn't enlist as a part time student.
I echo that 17s probably won't cut it, no offense. That being said, it doesn't mean you should automatically go to UW or whatever. If you flat out decide to not do what your folks say, make sure to tell them it will be a good situation and you will work hard regardless of what school. That way their worries are put to rest somewhat but you don't have to bow to their will.
hope this helps some
I think your parents know what's best for you. You obviously don't have a good grip on what reality is at this point in your life. Your ideas are not grounded.
Do you know what kind of a job and pay that an unskilled h.s. graduate can get and what kind of hours you'd have to work to be able to pay for your housing and food? Have you accounted for those hours along with what will be needed for going to class, studying, and training? Your parents are right, you'll be a failure unless you stay under their roof a while longer.
How are my ideas not grounded?
I have my plans set out to the dot.
Is it truly bad not wanting to go to a college I don't want to? Many students face this similar situation as I do, that is why they dont apply to certain schools. In my case I had to apply to their school of choice forcefully by my parents.
It is times like these respected posters like Flagpole, Jason, wejo, and vipam would chime in.
17's don't cut it in HS.
well, some parents know what's best for themselves, not necessarily their children. if theyre set on you becoming a doctor, a teacher is a pretty big step down financially.
his parents may not necessarily have a good grip on the reality of what their son really wants to do with is life.

Yes I do know, i have researched this. And trust me its not tough. So what if i have to take a very little amount of loans my first year as a part time? After that first year i have nothing to worry about and continue working my part time job paying back what I owe.
It is not that complicated! Many students do this! I have a feeling the same poster keeps replying back at me.
