I have always been a 'predictable' person. What i mean is that i have always done what is expected from me. As the youngest child of four, i was spoiled but have never turned out to be a brat. I was described as the sweet, obedient girl. The kind of girl parents like to show as example.
Of course, at school, i was always the best student in class. Afterall, wasn't it what was expected from me. I remember, one time, I was second in class instead of being first. I cried for days. How was that possible?? Then, i felt like i had given my parents the biggest disappointed of their life. They had, in vain, rtied to explain that it was nothing like that but...the little 'miss perfect' could not accept defeat.
Today, I am a grown up...finally. I have my own life. I am myself a mother and i wonder if I am still doing what is expected from me. Somewhere, somehow, that little miss perfect is still there. The most unexpected thing i did in my life was to marry someone who has a totally different culture from mine, from the other side of the world!. This is a challenge i keep up with everyday. My life is everything except PREDICTABLE.
