Ok well my dad has asked me what you want to do with your life! And I said I want to become a singer! And if that fails go to college and become a hairstylist so that way if one thing doesnt work out I have something to fall back on! He said that you wont make any money if you become a hairstylist! But my hairdresser makes good money! I think its horrible at the fact he doesnt like what I chose even though its something I would like to do!!! And then I told him that next year I would be taking italian and then the year after that swahilii! And he looks and me and says" why swahilli? That wont come in handy when you get a job!!" and the reason I want to learn the language is because im planning on adopting children from africa! And there arnt any translators down there!!! And besides..I would want my child to be exposed to there language and culture! And I told my dad that and he just looked at me weird! I dont think my dad is proud of what I want to do! Even tho my mom is very proud of me! My parents are divorced and both have very very different personalitys! But why doesnt my dad like what I want to do with my life in the future!! At least I want to do something! And plus some kids my age dont even know what they are going to do in life yet! I hate the fact my dad isnt saying anything but negative things about what I want to do in the future!!
