Hand in Hand

Today, what happened was totally really annoying. Not just beause of the quizzes and assignments that we opt to do an make but mainly because of the conversation we had just a while ago with my fater.
That was not just a conversation I guess but an argument. He was talking again about what I would be if I continue and pursue with this course. He was saying actually that I should shift to another course which he preferred right from the very start, and that is nursing.
Nursing again. My brother is already taking that course and then he wants me still to take up that course, too?
I was about to enroll to nursing when I did not have any options during enrolment. But I actually don't get it: Why should I take up nursing when in fact that is not what I want?
The main reason why my father wants me to take up that course is: (1.) To earn more. (2.) To live up to his expectations. (3.) That's where he thinks I should belong and lastly (4.) to go abroad.
But why should I? Well yes, I like seeing nursing students in their white and adoarable uniform. But that is not the point, I do not want to go abroad and work there. I do not want to leave.
It's really for practical purposes why my fater really is pushing me hard to shift. But I guess, earning money cannot be just found overseas. I can look for money here in the Philippines especially that I do belong in the college of agriculture.
Philippines do have things larger than life. I may be exaggerating but it's the truth. This country can provide and sustain the needs of its people more than that of the other country if we will just work hard together.
Like the MDGs, it might not be achieved by the end of 2015 but the goal will be reached sooner or later. We just have to go hand in hand.
