Is My Mom Everything?

I don't think it is always right to obey our parents. I have learned English since I was 12 and I like it still now. I used to want to be an interpreter because it seemed interesting for me and I thought that it was one of the rewarding jobs. I tried hard to be that for a long time. I often talked about my career goal with my mom and I believed that she was pleased with it. When I entered high school, she said, "There are lots of people who speak both Japanese and English. Being a interpreter is a good goal, but you can be that after getting older. You are so tall, so you'd better be a flight attendant!! " I couldn't say anything back to her. That was my first time that my mom said anything about my future goal. Since I really love my mom and I was not sure what I wanted to be exactly, my future goal changed into being a flight attendant. I was young at that time and it seemed very far to get a job from then. Now I am a university student and I am often asked what I want to be in the future. I have thought about it for a long time, and I started to wonder whether being a flight attendant was my goal. Then I realized that I believed that was my future goal but it was not. That was my mom's. That's what she wanted me to be. Now I am not sure what I want to be again, but at least, I want to be what I would like. My mom means well but I am absolutely not her. Obeying the parents is very necessary, but there is certain time to make decisions by ourselves. We should live our own lives and believe in what we are looking at.
