When entering my home I quickly yelled "I am home, anybody here. " Hilarious in my opinion I knew no one was there. Both my parents where workaholics they work their butts off so that I could have the education and life that they always dreamed of. I barely see them around ever since I was little I was told that education is key the thing that no man or woman can ever take away from you is your education. My childhood consisted of books, books, and more books. I wasn't allowed to stray away from them I wasn't allowed or given the chance to go out and have fun. I mean I don't even now what feels like. Since the time when I first hit the legal age to actually watch myself they told me that we have faith in you ,we trust you, stay completely focused on your studies.

Studies, books, and college is all that they told me. I wasn't allowed to build friendships, or relationships. I never really felt like a teenager I am 17 years old for crying out loud . I haven't been to a party, haven't had a boyfriend, haven't even been outside this city . I'm sick and tired of my life being controlled over by someone other than me .Its my life I want to decide what to with it.

When I go to the kitchen and make way to the refrigerator I see a note by my lovely parents kindly expressing how they once again have to go out of state for a huge meeting. Where they where going was not expressed in the letter not even a I love you or I'm proud haven't really heard that since I was 13 .After reading the letter I quickly took the note off the fridge and chunked it in the trash basket. Realizing that I'm not in the mood to eat anything I make way upstairs to my room place my backpack in my desk chair and practically throw myself on my bed. Exhaustion finally hits me and I allow sleep to take over me.
