BLOG #3: THE WAY I GROW UP

When I was high school, I was a obedient girl in my parents's eyes, I always listened to them and do whatever they want; moreover, I was not gonna do that things if they didn't like it. I tried to study hard and harder to get good marks in every subjects because I didn't want to make my parents feel disappointed because of me.

In one day, my classmates planed to have a 1-night trip together, and I was very excited, but I was sure that my parents didn't allow me to go because it was pretty far from my city. However, I wanted to go so bad, and I try to persuaded them one time, the result was "NO!". I was really mad and I decided to go anyway. I put my clothes in the bag and told them I went to my best friend's house to do homeworks. Unfortunately, my parents found out that I was going on the trip in somehow, and they called me to let me know. I think maybe they had a call to my friends's mom for asking or something. My parents requested for a conversation after I got home; thus, I was terrified. When I got home, we started to talk about what we feel. I tried to express my feeling of being control and say that i'm not a kid anymore, they have to believe me. After discussing for 1 hour, we knew each other, and my parents decided to let me do what I want, they decided to believe me. I am really thankful for that.

In Vietnam, our parents are still being affected by the strictly thought that children must listen to everything parents say although they don't want to do it. Parents always control children's life in every aspects. Kids must have their own thinking and decision. I tried to explain that I was not going to do something stupid and luckily they believed me. From that time, I could be myself,  I can make decision by myself , and I tried my best to follow it.

Right now, my parents are very proud of me because of what I did for them and I am thankful for their trust to me.
