Home sweet home
I went home this weekend! For the past 3 years I went home maximum once every 3 moths...that means I usually got to see my family 4 times a year! Not too often, huh? Specially that even though my home (Oradea) is far away from Bucharest, I'm still in the same country! What would I do when I will be in a traineeship on a different continent??
But actually this was the second time in 2 months that I went home :) It's cool spending time with my family. My parents have been so worried about me - because I failed a lot my exams lately (AIESEC can do that to you!). I tried to explain them over and over that school results don’t matter that much, that they won’t guarantee me a good job. But since they grew up in a communist system, where the job you would get after graduation depended very much to your school performance, it’s been a tough battle between us.
One of the decisive arguments I had to dash their paradigms was that if you count, I raised for the MC more money than their company had signed in contracts! This gave them an inside of the pragmatic aspects of AIESEC J
Now they are very supportive, though they remind me once awhile that I have to studyyyyyyy…Parents…don’t you just love them?
I sure love mine. I don’t know where I’d be without their support over the years, without the hard times they gave sometimes, without having their actions inspiring me!
Mom, dad…you’re cool!
