When I was growing up my parents had particular expectations for us that were…
difficult to satisfy.
Because both of my parents were harshly high functioning academic humans, they expected their children to be the same way. It was invalid if any of us failed a test, got a C on our report card, or desired to play on a athletic activitys team instead of the academic bowl! As you can imagine, these expectations only grew as my buddy and I got older. By the time my buddy and I were going off to university, my parents expected us to be many steps down the path towards a highly successful professional job, particular ly one in calculus or engineering. Personally, I gave in to their demands plus became a scientist. My sibling, however, was insistent that he wanted to be an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C professional, however he had been obsessed with air quality control appliances from an early age plus was harshly mechanically minded. He took wonderful delight in disassembling our boiler plus air conditioner unit plus putting them back together since he was a little kid. Most parents would find this natural air quality control efficiency harshly impressive, however my parents thought that it was shameful. They did not want my sibling to labor in manual labor, even if it was a skilled trade like the heating plus cooling industry. Well, he found a way around that. My sibling ultimately went to university plus became harshly specialized in biomedical research ventilation plus air quality control, rather than plain outdated residential boiler repair; Now, he works in a better lab than I do, plus he makes three times as much.
