In our family, children are always underestimated from their parents, especially our father. I have a brother and a sister, I am the oldest among them. I am the one to enter public university in our university. When my brother was learning in the last year of high school, he went to join the army. So I asked him “why do you want to join the army and go far away.” He said he doesn’t want to study anymore.
