dear mom & dad,
I'm sorry for the disappointment I am. You never tell me about how disappointed I make you, but I see it in your brown eyes as you look down at me. I see your eyes screaming work hard. I see you both biting your tongues when someone talks of their kids achievements. I know you both don't like telling others of my good behavior, I know you would rather have a kid with good grades and reckless behavior than a kid with good behavior and reckless grades.
Dad you were the only one from your village to pass an engineering exam at one go, mom you had the 5 all India rank in the banking exam, my sister has all A1 on her report card, and me? I've never been the class topper, I never even scored full in any subject.
I don't do sports, neither do I make good grades. I am a fat and shy kid who starts crying the minute you scold her. I have no resistance to anything. I have no social skills. I know you talk of me getting into IIT and MIT, but deep down even you know that I am just a disaster. I will have an average job with an average life, doing nothing at all.
