She did. There were a variety of reasons, one of which was, that I would have to be in college. She ended up chaining her mind and saying that I would have to have already graduated from college and be independent and successful in my career. Most colleges are for 4 years, but my family wants me to go to CC for 1 or 2 years. I think that waiting 5-6 years is too long and unrealistic. Not to mention the possibility of running into the dreaded student debt. I think a late part of these reasons are due to insecurity and racial issues. She told me that since I am biracial, if I wasn't successful it would make me and family look bad to them.
Should I contact my aunt/godmother?
