"We have to push you because you won't push yourself."
A direct quote from my mother regarding swim team. (Just so you know, I'm an extremely driven individual.) It's time to assume some responsibility and get a summer job, but my parents believe otherwise. In their minds, fifteen is too young to be working. All I'm asking for is some independence to buy what I want with my own money, and (maybe) pay half of my college tuition when the time comes. Is that too much? |
