It goes on every child's mind, "What can I do to make my parents proud?" and I'm no exception. Seeing them flash a benevolent smile at something you've done right, gives you utter motivation to continue and of course, satisfaction.
But what if we fail at it? What if our parents looses hope in you and leave the situation as it is? As a failure, will we stand back up? The answer is, we must.
I've been in a situation where I felt I wasn't apart of anything successful. Neither I was the brightess student in school nor in class but the one thing I manage to have my father pad me on the shoulder, was my achievement in basketball.
Was it enough to make them proud? I'm guessing no. It's been a while after I sat for my examination -PMR- and I didn't achieve as expected. I remember shedding tears every night, every time I shower and sometimes, I felt I let everyone down, especially my parents.
I knew deep down they were proud of me but I also knew they wished I could have done better. That fact literally kill me, but it didn't let me down hard. I stood back up on my feet and in my perspective, I did.
I have many other responsibilities but making my parents proud is one I ought to succeed in. My goals in life might not please my father or mother but I assure to do my best in it and be the best I can be.
