Parent Expectation

Mr. Dahl did a quick head-down poll today when he asked us whether we thought we could be successful if our parents have put expectation on us or we could be as good without parents' expectations. I didn't raise my hand in either answer, but I could have rose my hand in both answers. My parents expect me to be myself. They never tell me to work hard, behave good at school, nor take care of my sister. Although they always tell me that they just want me to be happy, I know that they expect me to put good "expectation" on myself. Growing up with them I have known them so well that I can tell when they're satisfy with and  proud of me, and when they are disappointed with me, even though they have that mask and the same saying "as long as you're happy" all the time. Yet, you might think that I should've raised my hand for the answer in which parents' expectations have influenced and shaped me today. (continue tomorrow XD)
