Relation to case study of Stand and deliver

In the case study from Unit 1 and in this movie, I thought, it is very simillar. Because of the main characters are very poor at study at the first. In the case study's main character "Mei" get a lots of stress in the school and still has a problem with her friends and the campus life. It also can say
Mei had a culture shock in the USA. I hope that if she would rather is not going to study hard and pay attention in the class than go back to her country.
