I want Freedom
I often get good results in dictations, tests, quizzes and exams so my mother wants me to study, study and study all the time to achieve better results. Although sometimes I want to go out and play with my friends freely, my mother never lets me do so. I have tried once when I was in Primary Four, but my domestic helper followed me all the way when we watched a film in a cinema, ate in MacDonald’s and had window shopping so we couldn’t chat the way we used to.
Last Saturday, I went to school and practice our cheerio dance moves. When we had tea, we had a wonderful time in Fairwood, Oi Man Plaza. I went there with Stacey, Miffy, Celeste, Bobo and other friends from Trust House Cheering Team. We ordered a meal and we shared our worries, our feelings and experiences in the primary school. We all felt relaxed after our sharing and we got to know each other more.
After finishing the practice, they went to Jumping Gym America in Whampoa. I really want to but it was such a pity that I couldn’t go with them because I had to obey my mother. But I still treasure the memory. I felt like I have already grown up and I am not a kid anymore. I like the feeling that I can take care of myself and do not need my mother to worry about me. I understand why my mother doesn’t let me go out with my friends but I think she can trust me and give me some more freedom. Not much, just a teeny weeny bit of freedom and free time. I can balance myself between playing and studying, mum!
