No. Unless you have negotiated some type of deal, you should expect no reward other than a quality education and plenty of opportunity so long as you don't feel your entitled.


Take a lengthly amount of time to reflect on what was written below. Then revisit this thread and take some more time to reflect on it again.

If your parents choose to reward you by helping you buy a car, you should be thankful for it. Expectation is what will destroy you. Humility can be very hard to have, especially at your age, but it is what will allow you to use yours gifts to their full potential.

Be patient, you will go far, so long as you remain grounded.
