“Two Kinds” In the Shoes of a Prodigy

If I were born a prodigy I would be happy because I would have a natural talent that some people can't do or aren't as good as me, i think that if I were not a prodigy though and I had to go through what Jing-me I had to go through with my family pressuring me to do something I couldn't do what they wanted me to do I would get mad at myself at first and then I would be mad at them for making me continue to do something that I can't do. Although I would not tell them that I was angry because I don’t believe that kids should disrespect their parents like what she did. If they saved their money just to buy me a piano I would be grateful that they spent that long just saving their money for me to do something good that I know I could have done. If Jing-mei would have just focused on trying hard for her parents then I think she would have realized that she could do good playing the piano. In my family you are supposed to do what your parents say, but sometimes after so long of parents trying to make their kids do something they can't do or don't want to do, they should have the right to tell them what they think and how it makes them feel. I believe that if she would have just told her mother more nicely then her mother would not have made her continue. I know that I would like to be a prodigy only if I really was one and not pressured into being one.
