This Time It Really Hit Home

I knew what was going on at home. I can see him pretending, trying to act like everything is all right. She was more straight forward with me and told me everything. I knew I had to do my best, secure the loan and graduate on time. But their words never really got into me. Until this one time, he admitted and said all this investment on me is costing him a lot.

This time it really hit home. This time it had an emotional impact on me.

Suddenly I looked at myself and I realized that I was being very selfish, so concerned about my own interest that I ignored theirs. I was not willing to work hard, thinking that I have some kind of advantage over other people. An advantage that can be substituted for hard work. I was wrong, very wrong.

Now that I realized my mistakes I had to make it up to them. I.Must.Change.
