There are three development directions for university graduates: getting a job, studying abord and taking part in the entrance exams for postgraduate schools.

My mother and I can’t reach an agreement on this problem. I want to study abord, but my mother hopes that I can go back home and find a job. She agrees that girls should live a stable life.

In fact, I fully understand her. Durning the two years in Hunan, she has been worrying about me all the time. In my mother’s view, no matter how old I am, I am always a kid that never growing up. Just as the Chinese old saying goes: mother are always thingking of you when you are away from home.

But I don’t want give up my dream, either. There is in reality a gap between the ideal and the actual, and I can’t get everything I want. What I’m trying to do is to find a compromise. If I can’t chang my mother’s mind, I will follow her advise and postpone my plan.

When I talk about it to my friends, some of them think that I should persist in my own plan. But I can’t go against my mother’s expectations.

Two years later, after my twenty-year-old birthday, I will decied about my future.

Dear friends, what will you do if you are in my situation?
