Why wouldn't you have respect for you parents? I was raised that if you are expected to do something you try and go above and beyond. I believe the scholarship required that I maintain a 3.5 me and my father talked and we agreed I could maintain a 3.8 or I wasn't living up to my scholarships expectations. BTW do you go to Duke or did you go there?
Well considering my family didnt pay for any of my college..... then any "requirement" imposed by my parents above the school's requirement is absurd and i wouldnt respect them at all for suggesting that. in no way would i abide by it if they said it either....
to go above and beyond is good but there is way more to school than just grades to measure "above and beyond". some majors require much more effort than others, some work jobs, some have spouses, some play on athletic teams, etc
what would they make you do, cancel your scholarship? if so thats really unwise. turn down free money and hence getting into
debt via loans probably for the sake of not getting a 3.8 when only a 3.5 is required is ridiculous logic
the way i paid for my university is none of my parents business and as long as i maintained my grades and kept my scholarship in accordance with the schools requirements, then who cares?
your scholarship expectations are the requirements to keep said scholarship determined by the
school, not some phony gpa figure created by your
dad. thats the whole purpose of the requirements in the first place
no i didnt go to duke, i graduated from colorado state a year ago
