So i'm back, not that you care or anything but this time i am back with a rather serious and daring topic. It might not make you smile or laugh out loud but i'm sure it's gonna mean a lot to habesha kids and hopefully you can relate to it. So here goes nothing.....
So the main reason why i didn't post anything lately was because my grandpa passed away and i was a little down but now i have moved on with my life. As a habesha family all my mom's and dad's family came to our house to grief with us. One of those many people were my father's relative from Atlanta, they talked to me and unlike my parents they know a lot about the school system. Let me just show you how our conversation went.....
Relative 1: so how is school going on?
Me: It's pretty good, love it *sarcastic smile*
Relative 2: so tell me your GPA?
Me: I have a 3.9
Relative 2: oh thats good! so what do you wanna be in the future?
So me being honest i said i wanna help people who are suicidal or depressed, not sure what i'm gonna study tho. You guys should have seen their faces when i said that, relative one interrupted mme and yelled "No No No, No such thing as helping people you're gonna be a doctor. I was so shocked all i said was excuse me!? I don't wanna be a doctor!
After that i got a two hour lecture on how i should be a doctor and how he was gonna hook me up with a medical professor, some may kill for this hook up with a professor but i don't want it. What i read in their eye was "If you don't become a doctor like most of the kids in our family we will disown you"
A lot of other habesha kids might be in a situation where they wanna be anything but doctors and lawyers. To be honest my advise for you is be who and what you wanna be. My parents always try to use the guilt trip with me because i made it clear that i will never in my life be a doctor or a lawyer and i understand they work hard for me but at the end of the day, it's gonna be my conscience and happiness. Sacrificing your happiness for other people is not love or care, it's stupid. First be happy youself and share that happiness with the rest of the world.
But this doesn't work if sleeping makes you happy, obviously it makes everyone happy but im not saying just sleep for the rest of your life. Do something that makes you happy whether it's in the entertainment industry or office job whatever it is do what you want. Trying to make yourself happy first is not considered selfishness.
Before i go i wanna tell you that i did not proof read this because it's 2 am in Toronto and i'm tired, i also typed fast so there are gonna be mistakes. If i can i will edit this tomorrow. Lastly one pf my friends shared this ebook with me and honestly it's the best book i've ever read, i highly advice you to read it. I am 100% sure you're gonna gain a lot from this book, ENJOY! Love you <3 HGB
