The Case of Crystal:
Crystal is an 18-year-old Korean American female, who is a senior in high school. She has taken high school courses and pursued additional community-based training opportunities in graphic design. She has dyslexia. This week, Crystal shared her frustration with her parents regarding her post-secondary goals. Her parents are first-generation Korean Americans. Her parents have managed a small family-owned business since they came to the United States. Her parents are pushing her to pursue a STEM-related degree at a four-year college. Crystal explains that these subjects are very challenging to her due to having dyslexia. She has no desire to attend a four-year program and wants to pursue a certification in graphic design. Crystal is struggling with how to please her parents while pursuing her career goals.
