It is a topic that makes me reflect on the habits of many parents when they want to pretend and force their children to fulfill the dreams of their parents, I will not force my daughters to do that.
I feel very proud to be a father of two intelligent and beautiful girls, the oldest is 15 years old and next year she will be graduating from high school at the age of 16, therefore she will enter college, neither my wife nor I have ever forced her, much less have we instilled in her that when she graduates from high school, and enters college they will study by obligation the career that I as a father or my wife may want my daughter to study. I say this because I have many colleagues, professors who have told me that they did force their children to study what they as parents decided that their children should study in college.
On the contrary, we have always encouraged my daughter that she has the freedom to choose among the 16 university careers that are dictated in the University of the East of Anzoátegui, where my wife and I are teachers, she has that range of opportunities to study, I assume that because of her age she has not yet defined exactly what she wants to study, but she has commented that one of the university careers she wants to study is medicine, another is chemical engineering, another option is petroleum engineering, and last but not least is computer engineering.
In short, all the careers that she has as an option to choose, all of them she can study at the Universidad de Oriente, since these university careers are dictated in this prestigious university, my wife and I are happy because she has to choose at any time, the options she has are excellent specialties, which have a lot of field to develop in the future as a professional.
Both of us will always be there to support her without restricting or imposing her to study a career, just to fulfill our dreams, my wife and I are very aware that this can affect her life and can be a way to frustrate her future, that is a reason not to impose anything.
She must choose.
