While neither I nor my parents are actually Chinese, this actually happened to me. I once loved math, and could easily spend an entire day doing math because I found so much joy in it. That all was ruined because I got pushed into taking AP Calculus as a freshman. Now (not counting homework) I am more inclined to avoid math like the Ebola virus.

Go figure.
