House and Lot This morning, I had a conversation with my mom. She told me that shed leave my father after I have finished studying. I suddenly felt the weight of the whole world. I cried a river of tears. I felt like my brain was being crushed. I had a difficulty in breathing. Im a consistent academic scholar and running for a latin honor. When people ask me the reason why I study hard, I tell them that I do it for my parents. Thats the truth. I dont do it for myself. I am not trying to prove anything. I simply wanted to make them proud and make their dream come true which is to own a house and lot. When I entered college, I told myself that I must learn everything that I could so that I would get a nice job and buy them a house and lot. But that dream seems pointless. Because even if Id be able to buy a house and lot, whats the use if my parents would not be together anymore? It just hurts so much. I dont even know what to do anymore. My mom told me that I should try to get it off my mind and just focus on my studies. But then, its something difficult not to think of. I realized just now that yes, I may think of it over and over again but that should not make me lose focus and the motivation in studying. Instead, it should make me fueled to do better. Im hoping and praying that when I graduate (hopefully with honors), Id be able to make them proud and put a big smile on their faces. Theyd look and tell at each other that together theyve made three wonderful children (Btw, Im the youngest). Theyd still be together and wait for our dream to come true. Id buy them a house and all of us would make it our home. Koy 2012 IABF
