I have to say that this article was not only entertaining, but also hit home. I agree with most of the arguments made as well. Numerous times I see parents push their kids, whether it be through school, sports, or possibly work. Parents much to often are involved of every facet in their child's life.
An example that could not be better is a girl I met right here at Drexel. She is highly intelligent naturally, and really never knew how to let loose. She believed in studying and studying and then just sleeping. Its actually something I admire sometimes, but it's almost un-human. Her parents will call her making sure she is studying. She lives over 9 hours away but her parents send her plane tickets just to come back on the weekends to make sure she stays out of trouble. This deeply troubles me and I wish I could fix it. Her personality is to always work, but she is an amazing person inside and out. If she could just let loose, she would make the world herself a much better place.
