Life Experiences- Last part

Nightmares and cold sores were started. In one side, I didn’t want to give up, not only because of my dad, but also because I wanted to finish this task. I could not remember any unfinished duties in my whole life. In the other hand, the scores got worse and worse. I didn’t work on that time and my parents paid for my school and other expenses. I did not want cheat on them too. I knew the value of every single coin they spend for me and I didn’t want make them disappointed. I remember one night I wrote a long letter for them. I explained all my feeling, the reason I chose civil engineering, and my weakness. I wrote about my thoughts to make them happy and make their dreams true, and about my scores and all those freaking Fs. I mentioned how much I was sorry to spend their money, make them disappointed and became a failure. I wrote about my interest in social science and working with people.

The night after that letter, my parents came to my room. I can say that conversation adjust my whole view to life. My dad told me: “You live for yourself and your dream not anybody else. Nothing is better for parents to see their kids are happy and achieve their own dreams. Remember just follow your heart and see what do you want to do and what are you capable to do. Your satisfaction should be your priority. So never scarifies your wishes for anyone, no matter how much you love them. We didn’t bring you to this world to live for us. You live for yourself and you have to know the value of that”. Then my mom talked about how much they are proud of me anyway and both of them asked me to follow my dreams and never think about anyone else.
