In my culture, it is not accepted or normal to go against parents’ wishes. I belong to a small and native community in the Oaxaca a region of southern Mexico. We’ve lived here for centuries and my family has been growing cotton for as long as anyone can remember.
When I was small, I had a lot of work to do. My father was sick and we were poor, so my sister and I would get up very early every morning to prepare food for the whole family. After school, we would run home quickly to help do housework or to help do something in the cotton fields. On weekends, I would go to the village market to sell our cotton. Every time I sold something, it was good news for our family: we would have some extra dollars, which meant food for the whole family in the next few days.
When I became a teenager, I wanted to study to become a secretary. By working in an office I would be able to earn more money, which would be good for my family. I knew I was smart and that I would do a good job, but my parents refused to let me study. I listened to them and followed their advice in order not to make them unhappy. Years later, some students from California came to our village. They were organizing an educational workshop for local people. We would learn new things and technology about growing cotton and have the chance to network. This was a good chance for me to learn something new and useful. Of course, I was willing to take part in it, but my parents said no again this time.
I have wonderful and generous parents, who are kind to everybody around them. Even when our family could hardly afford food, they would always welcome guests with coffee and cookies. I knew they refused me and didn’t approve of me studying there because they wanted the best for me. I knew they were worried about me being away from home, but I also knew they were wrong. Attending this workshop would be good for our family. I would be learn something useful and earn more money and our family business would grow much faster than it could. Therefore, I put my foot down and decided to go.
Though my parents didn’t allow me to go, I knew that going against my parents was actually a way to meet their needs as well as my own. Not long after I took part in the workshop, I found that the workshop was really wonderful, where I learned a lot. I brought new techniques to my family and met many important people through the workshop. All these have helped our business and have made our business grow faster.
Now I no longer live together with my parents but I work with them every day. Through my own experiences, I have learned a very important lesson for me and for all the people on earth: I have learned to listen to myself and to do the things that are important to me. Listen to yourself and to your own heart, and you will reach goal and realize your dream in the end. [br] Why did the author’s parents refuse to let him attend the workshop?
