Asian Parent

Posted in Uncategorized on Jun 26th, 2008, 9:33 am by yenjai

Growing up in an Asian family, I am sure everyone of us are used to the mantra: Study hard, then only you can survive in society

As the jobs become more diversify,  some of us may decide to venture into some ‘non-traditional’ line of job.

How would the parent react?

Of course, as parent, we are supposed to say YES to them, and let them decide their own future.

Will you say Yes, if your daughter decide to follow her step, too?

Akari Arimura, 22, a dentist by training, said she had always wanted to be a top-class umbrella girl.

“Until three years ago, I worked as a dentist. I gave it up as I felt I needed a change, something more exciting and fun,” she said.

*Update: I forget to mention that the girl on the right is Arimura*

    I’d say good on her! It’s not easy to follow your dream through the critical eyes of our society.
