to my dear family

after several rounds of quarrels, tears and  efforts, we came to a happy compromise.

i feel relaxed at last and get much closer to the dream. 

i am really grateful for your final understanding and support. 

without your backing up, i guess i will not be happy at all.

it's maybe a little risky to stake all my hope and money on this costly study plan.

however, life itself is already a big gambling, isn't it?

i got to take part in the game and figure the rules out 

even if i might end up with nothing.

sometimes i do miss the track and go astray, 

but you are the guide leading me to listen to my inner voice.

i will be poor for a very long time after that, 

so that all i can do is to keep your words in mind.

i won't let you down. i promise.
