Look at her marksheet, just 50% in Mathematics”. Her father retorted.
“And, not to forget her Science marks, 55%. She is such a disappointment.” Her mother fumed too.
“But, Dad, Didn’t you notice my English marks? I have had got 92%, the highest in all the sections”. The 9th grade girl said fearfully yet, there was hope in her voice.
“Nobody sees your literature marks. It is Mathematics and Science that make careers”. Her father broke the hope she was clinging to.
“Stop wasting your time scribbling your good for nothing thoughts and pay attention on numericals and equations”. Even her mother failed to understand her.
And, a dream died young that day. She was engineered to opt something she could never really understand or love.
The irony is, she was allowed to be a bad engineer or a bad doctor but, not a great writer!
Really, Lucky are they whose parents say :- ‘you can do what you want, we’ll always be there for you beta’ ! 🙂
This is true!
Many of them go through this kind of situation and it’s just painful to listen!
I really hope and wish this is not your story!

I have been there you know. . I scored 88% in my 10th and my dad wanted me to take up science. I fought because I hated science. I took up commerce. In May 2013, I cleared my CA with All India 13th Rank and they were so so happy 🙂

Well, we all have been there. It was a sad state then, after finishing our junior college or pre-degree. The worst thing was that in my times we had so limited exposure that we couldn’t even think on what next. Just go with what parents had heard from distant relatives.
Nice little post there. Thanks for sharing!

I was always good in academics. My parents wanted me to take up Science in 11th, 12th so as to become an engineer or a doctor. But I wanted to take up Commerce because I did not have a scientific temperament. I could not retaliate and ended up taking Science. But I chose not to become an engineer rather I ended up pursuing B.Sc. (H) Mathematics. And now I am looking forward to pursuing management, a thing I’ve always wanted to do.
