20.It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation,it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly,my mother will push the conversation into World War III.She'll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment,I don't want to do any job about science,either.In fact,when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications,she nearly had a heart attack."Why can't you be like my co-worker's son?"she bemoans all the time.Her co-worker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now making 70,000dollars a year as an engineer.I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr.Perfect as I've called the unnamed co-worker's son.I can't be like him.I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community,write until the sun goes down,and most of all,wants to achieve a career because I love it,not because of fame (名声) or salary(薪水).
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6:30am and usually comes home around 5pm or even 6pm.However,I want her to know that by becoming a doctor,it doesn't mean I'll be successful.I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

分析 好像每次我与妈妈的谈话,都会变成一次争吵.我们常常谈论着一个比较晚餐打算的简单话题,但突然妈妈就会把谈话弄得像第三次大战要爆发一样.她会说我没有前途的未来,因为我不想成为一名医生.更令她失望的是,我也不想从事任何与科学有关的工作.实际上,当我要谈谈我想主修英语与交流时,她几乎要心脏病发作.
"你为什么不能像我同事的儿子一样呢",她总是这样哀叹.她的同事的儿子四年都得到了奖学金,并且现在作为一名工程题,一年挣70000美元.我不知道如何回答,我不能做一个像她的我叫不出名字的同事的儿子那样的"完美先生".我只是一个热爱交流,喜欢写作到太阳落山的人,并最想做一项我因为热爱而做的事业,而不是因为名声和薪水.
我明白为什么我的妈妈操心我以后的专业,我能看到妈妈努力通过她微弱的薪水和长时的工作来养育我.她早上6点半就出门,晚上5点甚至6点才回家.然而,我想让她知道通过成为一名医生,并不意味着我成功了.我更愿意跟随我自己的梦想,并创造我自己的未来.
