What makes me unique would be that I am my parents’ daughter. Hoho, sounds cliché, but I really mean it. Reason being, if you were to know my background or what my parents work as, I actually should keep my profile low. But, I am glad to be my parents’ daughter even though it is hard to keep up with the lifestyle.
My dad’s profession is one that many people look at him with respect, and even notice how he lives his life. Obviously, they would notice how his children lives their lives and that would be me. I am constantly being scrutinized at what I do, say and wear (a little exaggerating here, but I am not joking)
Sometimes, I am always being stressed by my parents because I should not wear too skimpy clothes, I should watch what I say, I should watch my behaviour with my friends, ensure that I do not do things that will eventually create a gossip topic for others. And the best part, I have to ensure that I get good grades.
To me, I feel that getting good grades doesn’t determine who I am. Of course, grades does matter, but this should not affect what people think of me. I am what I am in my talents and what I do, therefore to me, being judged by my grades is a ridiculous and foolish thing to do. And I am glad that my parents understand that now.
And I obviously do not care about what others think about me. Of course, there is a limit to what I should do and should not do. But to me, if I were to live my life worrying about what others would say next, worrying if I would be the next gossip topic, then that would be really stressful of a life and I only get to live once! Which is why I think I am unique because I choose not to care and choose to be myself even when I should be watching my back.
And I am proud to say that I am my parents’ daughter regardless of whether people think that I am living the life I should be living.
