typical
i already knew i would get the response i did so i put off telling her until today. i told my mom i got the final interview for teach for america, and she gave me a thousand and one reasons why she would be disappointed if i did it. listed friends who already got accepted. told me it was stupid. told me it wasn't prestigious. shall i go on?
for christ's sake. for one time in my life, JUST ONE TIME, i want to tell her one of my accomplishments and just get the response: wow mallory. congratulations. you deserve it.
but that is asking too much, i know.
if it doesn't fit her plan, it is stupid. if the god damn president of the united states announced that i was the most amazing person alive, she would find fault with that. i have to rely on my friends for reassurance and congratulations.
