Proud

You told me you would support me in whatever it is that I wanted to do. So why do I feel like you don’t care about what I do. You barely listen to me when I tell you about successes I get at school. Can’t you tell that it hurts me when you don’t pay attention to me? You probably had no idea that I almost cried when you didn’t attend my awarding when I was a freshman. That was a very important day for me and you weren’t there.

You also told me that you wanted me to be active in church activities. Well, I found the perfect way to do that. I joined YFC. Every day, I tell you about what we do there and how much I love it but you don’t listen to me. I really thought you’d be proud of me. Now, you tell me that I should just quit. Don’t you think it would hurt me if you tell me to quit something I really like? I thought you’d be proud of me.
