Within ourselves there is a deep place at whose edge we may sit and dream." -Lehrman I use this quote because we may portray to the rest of the world a different dream than the one we have in ourselves. Or, for example some people such as athletes, drama students, in highschool, they just do what they are doing for their parents, and not doing what they want to do for themselves. I personally don't have this problem, because I am very outspoken, sometimes that is unfortunate, but my parents support me no matter what and they know that even if they try to make me do something such as going to a technical college, which that is something I do not want to do, I would go to a school I where I want to learn whatever I want to. However, I know of friends that have parents are betting on their children getting an athletic scholarship to college, but then they get injured to where they can't do certain sports anymore. The parents not only feel that their child won't be able to go to college, but that it was their fault for not having a backup plan. So the moral of this post is that even if you're scared of standing up to someone who want you to do whatever they feel you should do, just talk to them and if that doesn't work, try to get others to listen to you like relatives that know you don't want to do what that person wants you to do. Then have that relative come with you not only for moral support but to help you in your talking with that person. So if you don't have another relative within distance to come with you, just ask a trusted person, a friend, a favorite teacher that knows your situation, and that goes without saying to talk to a trusted teacher about any problem that you think you can't tell you parents or friends. Everyone, have a good night, and I will write tomorrow.
