a poem i read in my junior comp. class(english)

i like this poem but might offend the parental units and i am sorry for that but it seemed to fit somewhat my situation.

"Daughter, study hard(for us your mom and dad),
so your future will be bright and easy."
What if i don't want to?
What if i can't?
Sometimes i feel my parents don't understand what
I'm going through.
To them, education is money.
And money is success.
They don't see beyond that.
Sometimes i want to fail my classes purposely to
See their reaction, but that is too cruel.
They have taught me to value education.
Education makes you a person, makes you somebody, they say.
I agree.
They are proud i am going to UCLA.
They brag to their friends, our vietnamese community, people
I don't even know.

They believe in me, but i doubt myself...


side note: i know i go to OU so insert that into it and that i am not vietnamese.

i think the last sentence hits really home to me.

well i just thought i would share a thing i read. ehhh, well off to do some hanging out(shopping for food and watching a movie) before homework starts tomorrow 9am.
