An only child girl lives a difficult life. Carmen, who is my cousin, has the same situation as her only daughter. She was the only child in my family who was smart and adorable, but life changes in just a few years. My cousin Sunny was born two years ago. Just as in my grandfather's generation the thoughts of boys were always more important than girls, so it still is with both of my cousins. However, every challenge is an opportunity in life. It became an opportunity for Carmen to have a good relationship with her parents and live her dream of dancing. Even though I don't have a brother and sister, I can imagine and feel how Carmen's life has changed. It all started before Sunny was born, as Carmen was a high school student. Carmen started learning different types of musical instruments such as the piano and the clarinet. She performed very well with them because she was born as an expert in this art and her parents were so proud of her. However, things changed after Sunny's birth a year ago. His parents, especially my uncle, started becoming a bipolar parent. Another family member like me noticed a certain coldness between them. His father always kept his distance. One day, Carmen failed her piano test, which was a very important step in mastering her piano skills. Even though I didn't know what happened to Carmen and her parents, my uncle's cold gaze scared me for a few weeks. When Sunny came to this world, Carmen was very emotional because everything changed. However, she didn't like a new brother in her family after all. Since Sunny was only born a few months ago, my uncle was too excited to have a child in his family. Carmen felt that her parents did not care about her, so she tried to develop her musical skills and study music theory. Carmen lo...... middle of paper ......que lessons and rehearsals, got a show at Hong Kong Disneyland last Christmas. My uncle told me that he had made the right decision to have Carmen as his daughter. "Yes!" Carmen screamed after her performance. She has never felt so alive before and so grateful that her parents accept her dream and her future. She finally realized that her parents still support her and care about her. “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” by Viktor E. Frankl. Although everyone has a different destiny, I think someone's encouragement will inspire all people. Furthermore, my cousin's experience taught and inspired me that people need pride and recognition from others, and challenging ourselves will get us results. great success. In summary, pride, hard work and praise always stimulate us to make greater efforts for our dreams.
