Ann

My friend Ann is a business major at the university I go to. She's one of the few friends I have that aren't health/sciences majors. Her parents are from Vietnam, where the opportunities for education were not as good as in America. They had to learn to love learning to be able to complete it in their situation. So when I asked her why she felt college and education were important, her first reply was "My parents." Because they learned the value of education from experience, they pushed her to do her best. However, though she would willingly do this for her parents' and her future's sake, she admitted that she did not like learning at all. Lectures, tests, quizzes, and finals... she disliked all aspects of it. I countered by asking if she would take a class just for fun, without being weighed down by guidelines, so she could learn it for herself and not for a test. She laughed and pointed out the many prerequisite classes she already had to take.
