We were talking about what I wanted to be in the future. My mom (who wants me to become a doctor) said that I should just go into law.
This ties back to f o u r years ago when I said I wanted to become a lawyer +
This ties back to f o u r years ago when I said I wanted to become a lawyer +
It was four years ago and I never brought it up after that because I realized I didn& #39;t want to become a lawyer. So I told my mom that no, I didn& #39;t want to become a lawyer +
She asked me what I did want and I said I wanted to go into something Earth Sci related because it does actually interest me and hey, might as well not let this future Pisay diploma go to waste -- if I do graduate +
I specifically said geology but I actually meant it as a sort of generalization for Earth Sci (far more interested in volcanology/meteorology actually) but she still proceeded to sorta make fun of it (wow) +
Not completely sure what she said exactly but it was somewhere along the lines of course discrimination because my mom is actually an academic elitist https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😃" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤟" title="Geste „ich liebe dich“" aria-label="Emoji: Geste „ich liebe dich“"> (char idrk what to call it but yk) +
So, my mom tells me that it& #39;s either law or med (lol wow mom thanks for limiting my options to literally just 2 choices)
and I said no because that& #39;s not what I want to dohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erleichtertes Gesicht"> +
and I said no because that& #39;s not what I want to do
We then had a short wild discussion about me saying I& #39;d be okay with working for PAGASA and being the next atom araullo (obviously a joke he& #39;s literally a pisay g o d) +
My mom then tells me why I& #39;m being so wishy washy and bRO I LITERALLY JUST SAID I WANTED TO DO SMN W EARTH SCI WHAT WAS WISHY WASHY ABOUT THAT????? +
And I ask her why she can& #39;t just let me take the course I want (and it& #39;s STEM anw not like we& #39;d be violating Pisay rules) and she said she just doesn& #39;t want me to end up with something that, in the future, I& #39;d end up realizing I didn& #39;t want (lol like pisay haha) +
While I understand what she means, I can& #39;t help but think that this just comes from her prejudice against less well-known sciences
Anw dinner over, but I stay in their room for a while after dinner.
My dad then comes in the room, acting like he had a big revelation and said
"Tama mag lawyer ka na lang kasi yung tita mo may connections, sm smn etc" basically my dad was coercing me to +
