[QUOTE="VensInferno"]
My mom and dad survived the Khmer Rouge, and they always dreamed of coming to live in America. Being a slum in Cambodia or anywhere in the South East, its like a miracle to come to America. So when you do get to come here, you dream of your kids becoming rich and famous. And having a better life then your own. My parents always push me because they don't want me to suffer and beg for money like they did. They worked really hard to get where they are at. If i fail then my parents will feel as if surviving a genocide was pointless, coming to america was not needed, and working real hard was pointless.

I understand that position, the point is, what's the definition of 'failing'.
i'd say the definition of failing is living a depressed and miserable life with no friends or social life. it also includes having a good job that you like doing. you don't have to have the best education and perfect grades to be succesful. and usually you're better at something if you like doing it. and like i said, no friends would kill me. i'm lonely and miserable enough and i have friends, if i didn't i'd probably kill myself.
