China graduates more engineers in a month than America does in a year. Don't do anything to discourage someone who wants to major in math, science, or engineering.
Discourage her? Oh my no! In fact, we give her free rein in her high school schedule. She and her counselor cooked up some odd combination that allows her to take every advanced math course at the school. It involves skipping science and English for a year and doubling up in her Senior year. I am just here to sign off, and encourage.
