My Parents and My Future

Good evening dear friends, I’m Li Shanshan from English class five. Even though it is raining outside, I hope the rain didn’t affect your wonderful mood.

Firstly I have to confess that I felt very warm the first time I saw this contest subject: my parents and my future. Before we grow up we always thought that we wound be independent and we would have a bright future with a stable and decent work. We would afford a big house and accompany with our parents on holidays and travel all around the world.

But now looking at myself，I realized it was just a wonderful childhood dream. Except for a few thin certificates that I owe now, actually I have nothing else. Some of my friends have got good jobs and high salary and they live with their parents now. But I’m still at the campus and wondering about my future. I don’t’ know whether I will get a good job or not because everything is unknown to me. But I’m sure that my parents will worry about me. To face the harsh reality they have to worry about my future. My parents have been working for half of their lives and my owe life has been already a third done, but till now I’ve done nothing for them, instead, I made them worry about me, I felt guilty about it.

All along, my parents never asked me anything except for my study. In the eyes of the elders, study is a very hard thing. So they never let me worry about financial problems. They don’t want me to be frustrated because of any grievances. They’re always behinds me, support me and encourage me. They can give up everything for me without complaint. My mother, she knows everything in my life and always prepared what I want before I ask.

They say that one is proud of their child after fifty years old. But what can we do for our parents? I want to say that I saw what you have done these years, I felt your sense of responsibility to me and I understand your hope about my bright future. I also said to myself: No matter what we do, parents are always the treasure in our lives; we should do something for them, because they are the real future for us!
