As a kid my mother always told me, “you can be whatever you set your mind to.” This is a lie. On the long drive from Boston to Cape Cod she brought up my sister and her college (Salam State University). This is how it went....
she failed to mention that my sister is strapped with $60,000 of debt during her sophomore year in college and clinically depressed. DANGEROUS....
MOM: Ryan, are you going to college?
Me: ABSOLUTELY NOT
MOM: are you gonna join the military
Me: No, that would be selling my life, I’d never get that time back
Mom: What are you going to do? The only way to get money is to have a job.
Me: I want to create something valuable that other people can use, I want to have a positive impact on the world
Mom: whatever your doing you’ll have to do in your spare time after you 40 hour work week
Me: do you see all of these buildings? they were built by people, people like you and me. Most of them started from nothing.
Mom: You need to be realistic and why don’t you work on getting your grades up.
I can already see how painful this life road is going to be. I want it too bad. I need to find a way.
DONT TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO HEAR! Can someone who has been in this situation give me some real advice on how to either convince (unlikely) or get around my single motheR
I’m 17 and won’t finish high school until I’m 19 because I got held back when my father past away. I’d say I have till 20 before she kicks me to the curb.
Shoulf I move out as soon as possible? If someone would give me some tough advice it would be appropriated. I’m willing to listen.
