Aspirations

People thought that I’m crazy. (I wonder how many articles here I will start in this way!) I went to a speech-therapist because I can’t pronounce one sound. As a result I again immersed in the sea of suspicions of my relatives- ‘Who told you you needed this?’, ‘You are crazy.’; ‘You’ll only waste money.’ I tried to explain that no one brainwashed me and made me do this, and the reason is the fact that I’d like to develop my abilities and try to undo the mistake my parents made years ago when they didn’t try to do that, believing the trials will be futile and because they liked this ‘cute’ pronunciation.

I don’t think that’s my biggest problem, too, but I have many weak points, and why not try to fix this defect now? Maybe my cousin was right when he said he could make a list of my vices and disadvantages and my way of speaking wouldn’t be at one of the first places, but still I can’t understand people’s stubbornness.  One swallow doesn’t make a summer but it could be the herald of better times.

However, I think I succeeded to persuade the people at home- at least they stopped questioning my reasons and now just wait.

Of course, I should mention the people who supported me and still do that. I hope I’m not naïve to expect results at my age and won’t disappoint them and mainly myself.
