my dad just asked me if i had stepped down from committee work...

i have no idea how to tell him that i have stepped down and re-ran... not that i can't.. just that he can't accept and understand my passion for society work..

to him and my mum.. it's some frivolous hobby of mine.. but to me.. it's such an impt part of my life..

2 years of society life... the ups and downs of being in committee... i can honestly say that i've not regretted one bit giving wat i could give to the society and receiving wat was given in return..

the friends, the skills and the knowledge gained was boundless...

i know that society work will be heavy... i know that school work is heavy... i know that my grandma needs people to take care of her... i know that there are house chores to be done... but i'm willing to shape up my planning and time management abilities to deal with all of these responsibilities...

i just want to tell them to give me a chance to do that... to learn how to handle bigger responsibilities.. to allow me to push my boundaries.. to test my limit..

i know no other way someone can grow.. if they are always being limited.. being told that this is all that they can have and take..

they have good intentions.. but.. being overprotective... is..... suffocating..

i'm 22.. i believe i have the choice to decide my future..


how am i going to tell them all this without sounding rude and naive?

i really am not interested to hide from them that i'm still in committee.. can't parents be more accepting and not get heart attacks by harmless decisions that their children make?
