It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation,it turns into an
argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly,my mother
will push the conversation into World War ?.She'll talk about m
y lack of a 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
(主修) in English and communications,she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can't you be like my coworker's son?" she bemoans all the time.Her coworker's
son received a fouryear scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.
I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr Perfect as I've called the
unnamed coworker's son.I can't be like him.I'm the type of person who loves to help out in
the community,write until the sun goes down,and most of all,wants to achieve a career
because I love it,not because of fame (名声) or salary.
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.She leaves the house around
6﹕30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm.However,I want her to
know that by becoming a doctor,it doesn't mean I'll be successful.I'd rather follow my
dreams and create my own future.
