A Revelation

Why are they so mean to me? Why can't I choose my own happiness? Why can't I be happy? These are some questions which keep on my mind until now. Okay, let me get this straight. I was upset because my aunts even my mother don't want me to take up a course in college which I really like. They want me to take up Nursing. They knew that I am really not interested to that course. But I have no choice, so, to satisfy them, I took an entrance exam at the Cebu Normal University to study Nursing there. I got pressured because they expected me to that test. Actually, I was not expecting to pass that test. But after a month, I got a call from that university and it said that I passed the examination and have to go there for the interview. At first, I did not believe the caller, but thinking that maybe he was joking. But later, I thought, maybe the caller was saying the truth and I did really pass the test. But then, I realized that it is not for me, but for them. I tried to open up this topic to them, but it seemed that they don't want to hear any answers from me except to pursue this course.
After a few days, I got a news from our classmate that we could now see the UPCAT Results. I rushed to the internet cafe and searched the website. I saw my name on the list of names who qualify and I was so happy, that I was really excited to tell this big news to them. But when I got home and told this news, instead of congratulating me, they scolded me for not preparing for my upcoming interview in CNU. It hurt me a lot. They don't even care about my feelings. But I have to obey them because I believe that they know what is best for me. Afterall, they are the ones who support me in my studies.
