It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation,it turns into an argument between a crazy mother and a single-minded son.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into "the Third World War".She'll talk about my lack of bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment,I don't want to do any job related to science,either.In fact,when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English,she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can't you be like my friend's son?" she shouts all the time.Her friend's son received a four-year scholarship (獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金) and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.I don't know what to say except that I simply can't be like Mr.Perfect as I've called the unnamed friend's son.I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community,write until the sun goes down,and most of all,wants to achieve something because of loving it,not because of money.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.Tired as she is,she still cooks supper for me and then does other housework staying up late into the night.
I fully understand that what my mother has done is out of her deep love for me.However,I want her to know that I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
