It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation，it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly，my mother will push the conversation into World War Ⅲ.She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment，I don’t want to do any job related to science，either.In fact，when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English and communications，she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co­worker’s son？” she bemoans all the time.Her co­worker’s son received a four­year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co­worker’s son.I can’t be like him.I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community，write until the sun goes down，and most of all，wants to achieve a career because I love it，not because of fame (名声) or salary.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6∶30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm.However，I want her to know that by becoming a doctor，it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful.I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
