To
come to pacific American school is actually a choice completely made by my
parents. When I was in the states during my freshman year, I told my mom that I
want to go back to Ming Dao high school, which is a local school when all my
friends are, she said yes. But then, she changed her mom by just one article on
the newspaper, saying that how many students got in to the top 50s. So then she decided to give it a try. I
will consider it as a quite rational choice, because we actually did make out
the pros and cons list in order to make the whole process more legit.
The
opportunity cost for me coming to this school would be I basically started all
over again. I have to start out with a brand new environment and study with unfamiliar
friends. Of course, the opportunity
benefit would be a better curriculum compare to my local school and indeed a
better future in terms of academic performances. I would say the benefit is actully
greater then the cost, because I can still contact my old friends even though
we go to different schools but my future is like a one time thing. If I screw
up then that’s its. Hence I would say coming to PAS is actually quite a
rational choice and if I am the one making the decision I would probably do the
same.
