I don't have to worry about not fulfilling my dreams

I really want to take fine arts or computer related course since my childhood. From a very young age, I had aspirations of becoming an exhibit designer or an artist. I really love arts SO MUCH! But from the time I learned the basic computer skills (I was 5 or 6 years old at that time I guess), I've been very interested and had a keen to study more about computers. I have always had an interest in the way it works, and since I was young, it has been one of my favorite subjects. My determination to learn more about computers comes from my desire to seek a challenge. In life, there seems to be no bigger challenge than to learn and find out how things work. I know that taking computer related course will sharpen and develop my above skills further and will give me the opportunity to develop and focus on one of my genuine interests and lastly, it'll help me choose a good career.

 

But my mother doesn't like my career choices 'cause she holds no interest in computer whatsoever, as if she's the one getting the degree. She wants me to take BSN. Oh my...I hadn't grown up wanting to be a nurse but of course, individuals choose to keep their priorities straight. I'm choosing the path my parents want me to take. Why? 'Cause I always think of the time when my parents had sacrificed for me. I might not be able to recollect everything, but I know how my parents have sacrificed their sleep when I was young, they have spent sleepless nights because of me, and I don't have that much understanding what they are going through. So it's time for me to think and sacrifice for them.

 Here's the thing. I grew up as a daughter of a hardworking father. He works from 7:00 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening for 7 days a week. My father has to be the best. He has gotten me just about everything (except my desired career). He's great and I love him more than anything, he's my favorite guy in whole wide world. So, for me, a man who's crazy busy with work isn't a bad thing. That's normal to me. :) During my youngest starting school (3 y.o), my mother was the one who's heavily involved in my school activities all throughout my high school years. She's one of a kind. She's a very down to earth person who will give anyone a second chance. Her inspirations, encouragement, support, and unconditional love is endless. Although family and friends are very important to her, still, she reaches out to anyone in need, never expecting or asking for anything in return. Many times I am mean to her but I don't mean it and I hope she knows that. :)

 

I'm very thankful to my parents for everything that they had done for me. They try to make my life the most ideal it could possibly be. They sent me to a good school where I can be educated to become a responsible person. In the midst of struggle that they had to face, they've never neglected me. No one else except my parents would give me so much love and I knew that I could always depend on them. 1000 words aren't enough to describe how much I love my parents.

 

My dream is to become the person I want to be. But sometimes I can't be that person, because I love my parents so much that I feel obligated to obey them to the point that, I need to sacrifice my own personal wants or dreams. As long as they're happy with the decision they want for me, then, it is worth the sacrifice.
