College Pressure

It`s every mother`s dream to see their children go to college and succeed. Especially their eldest. I always dreamed of going to college. Now that road is upon me and there are so many choices to take. I would love to take them all. But I can only handle one at a time. My dilemma now is choice. Whether I should follow what I want or to follow what my father wants.

You see, my father wants me to take a course which can make me be the boss later. He would want me to be a specialist doctor so I can be my own boss. The thing is I thing is I hate biology. So why would I take up something I hate as my future career? My mom tells me do what you want to do. I agree with my mom. Still my dad has his way in trying to persuade me to become a doctor. Which really ticks me off. Who cares. I want to do what I want which is to study engineering. You want a doctor in the family, go ahead and be a doctor yourself. That`s what I kept saying in my head every time he tries to persuade me.

I still thinking of what course to take besides engineering. Maybe actuarial science or something like that. But I have my sights on electronic engineering. But still, I am not sure what so ever. I have to get a scholarship to help my financing. I am flat broke. We just have to see what happens.
