My Parents, My Future

My parents are the original power driving me to pursue my future.

My parents are not the governors who have high power never considering about jobs. My parents are not the rich businessmen who have much money having no need to think about the price. My parents are not the workers who have salary never worrying about pension.

       When I was a child, both of my parents lost their jobs. So they began to make money without jobs by themselves. With no salary or no pension, they support our family very hard on their own. However, they make every effort to build our home and they give me all of their love. In fact, we live really happily in spite of their losing jobs. However, one day I cried in front of my father. My father is a tough man who has never been beaten down by anything. I cried because I was treated unfairly in my senior school. My classmate and I both asked for leave on the PE class to study in the classroom. My classmate was admitted. But I was criticized seriously. I could not help connecting it with the oppositions of our parents. So I complained it to my father. When I looked up, I saw the tears around my father’s eyes. My father even did not know what to say or to do. I have never seen my father crying. It is a kind of helplessness and self-accusation of a man, and of a father.

From then on, I never complain something like that, because I never want to see the helpless sights of my parents again. And also I understand it is not my parents’ fault. They have given me all their love they can afford. And they always try their best to protect me. The helpless impression in my parents’ eyes gives me the original power to struggle for my future. As long as I think of my parents, I will never give up. Pursuing my future is the only way I can do to possess a better life for myself, and definitely for my parents.
