Well, I always held that speech back from my work-addicted grandmother. She travels the world with different businesses and world organizations, and has much money to show for it. She is proud of who she is, and deserves to be.
Well, she is always lecturing me to get my S.A.T Tests done, apply to colleges, get better grades, be a better person, get a loan for school and pay it back the rest of my life, wear more clothes, change my ways, and more.
Yes, I know these are good things, but she does it in such a cruel and mean way, it hurts my feelings.
So, Finally, Today. I told her!
I told her how I am NOT getting a loan, to go to college for 12 years,
to become a Dr. in Psychology. I know a person who makes well over 70,000 a year and only has a few small degrees.
I refuse to conform to the normal american ways of life.
I will find my bliss, and be happy.
I may not travel the world, and have three houses, but I DONT WANT THAT!!!
I want to live in my cottage, in my small town without locked doors. I will become happy off of my natural skills such as acting, writing, or baking.
AND FINALLY
She told me to "Enjoy my endeavor." In a nice tone.
She always is fighting anything I am doing, but once i told her, from the heart, how i felt. She broke and realized it IS ABOUT HAPPINESS!
She may be happy traveling and working everyday, but i love my leisure time, working out, baking, doing yoga, and writing poetry.
The things I love doing making me happy. And I will produce money out of those.

I have good news for you…..It no longer takes so long for those big degrees. You can do it in like 7 years…..4 for the under graduate, and 3 in a post graduate program can usually earn you a PsyD., otherwise called a doctoarate of psychology! :-)
ummm….maybe it was a 5 year post grad program I was thinking of????? But it's still less than 12 years…
