"Exactly, how come your sister, a girl, can go to a good university, but I can't?" Tim said disdainfully.
There were things you really couldn't.
My sister was gifted and smart, and extremely self-disciplined.
So she got scholarships every year in college.
After graduation, she also found a high-paying job.
Tim was different.
In his senior year of high school, Tim said he was under a lot of pressure and didn't want to live in the dormitory.
So Tracy took it upon herself to let him move into our house.
Although I had objections in my heart, I thought it was the last year, so I endured it and let it pass.
From then on, Tracy used my high education as an excuse to ask me to help Tim with his studies.
Sometimes I taught him math, and sometimes even physics and English.
I was already tired when I came back from a day's work, and I was really exhausted when I had to tutor a senior student.
However, I was slightly relieved to see that Tim, who was originally an intermediate student, saw his grades improved under my tutoring.
In this way, I spent a whole year on tutoring.
During the SAT, Tim performed exceptionally well.
He was always bad at math, but he unexpectedly scored the highest score in history.
"Tim is really smart! I know boys have great potential. I didn't waste a year smashing walnuts for you!" Tracy couldn't stop smiling.
"Tim, you are really clever, much stronger than those girls!" Noah looked at me with a meaningful glance.
Well.
The whole family completely ignored my efforts.
They attributed all of Tim's achievements to his intelligence and hard work.
All the things from my last life surfaced in my mind, I was really an afterthought.
It took me a new life to see this family's true colors.
"Since Tim is so talented, there should be no problem with choosing his own major, right?" I looked at Tim with a fake smile.
"Besides, Tim has such a high score. He can choose any top university in the country. Just find a good one!" I praised Tim enthusiastically.
The best way to ruin a person was to praise them.
"Sophia, you are a teacher after all. You must understand..." Tracy wanted to give me credit.
"Mom, that's enough! I can handle such a simple matter myself! Don't bother Sophia!" Tim interrupted his chatty mother.
Tim didn't test particularly high.
In my previous life, I tried my best to find a relatively unpopular university for him.
That was how he got into his desired major.
