RE: ONLY IF THEY WOULD LISTEN.....

That is Nigerian Parents for you. They want to be over their children's success and want to choose for them. This is right though but at times, it doesn't work for all children. There are areas children are capable and have the creativity in them, at this point, parents needs to monitor and see how they can support them with their advice. So many children has ended up abandoning a course of study they went for all because they wanted to satisfy their parents. This is so sad.

Parents are guardians and it is their responsibility to watch and help their children in choosing the right course in school.

Thank you for sharing your thought, parents are suppose to counsel and support their children's decisions. But no, Nigerian parents want to oversee everything. It's just sad.

I feel for you but I think the only thing you can do is to commit it to God and continue at one side what you are passionate of so that you don't lose at one end. While you are busy studying what your parents wants you to study, you can as well build what you are passionate of. God will help you dear.

Thank you. And yes, I have surrender to God. The same thing you told me is what my teacher told me. Thanks.
