Being Immature or Making Somebody Happy??

Many people say that you can easily distinguish a mature person from an immature one. They say that you can see this with one’s actions and decisions. A mature person knows well how to decide for himself or herself. He or she behaves according to what is right in front of many people. He or she does not talk so much as if nobody is listening at him or her and nobody will be hurt with what he or she says. A mature person knows how to mince his or her words so that no one will be offended with the things he or she says.

Many people also say that I am a very immature person. I do not act according to my age. I still play games like ‘patintero’ and ‘chinese garter’ that are played by children aged twelve years and below. Those games should not be played by a senior student like me according to most of the people. I also talk flippantly when it comes to stuffs that should be handled seriously. I always make things funny so that I will not easily get bored with the conversations. And I am still very dependent to my mother when it comes to decision making. I still can not decide for myself because I am afraid in getting mistakes.

And now, I am in a situation where I need to decide for my own. I need to choose a course that I will take up in college. And I have three choices namely, BS Mathematics in UP College, BS Accountancy and BS Chemical Engineering in USC. My mother does not want that I will take up Chemical Engineering because the job opportunities are very small. She wanted me to take up Accountancy because after college, it is very easy to find jobs because it is needed. But my personal choice is to take up BS Mathematics. For me, I can excel in this field because I love Math and it will be easy if you love your course. I thin there are still big job opportunities for BS Mathematics, but I can not explain to them all of these.

For now, my choices are only BS Accountancy and BS Mathematics. I am in a dilemma on what course I will take up. I am planning to take up Accountancy because my mother suggested and I think she is right. I am afraid to choose on my own because, what if after college I can not find a job if I will take up BS Mathematics. I am afraid not to follow my mother because I am afraid to disappoint her. I wanted her to be happy, so I wanted to follow all the things that can make her happy. Even though I will be not that happy with the decision, but at least I made my mother happy. It is important for me because, she gave me all I needed and in return I will follow all what she wanted.

So is it being immature to follow the things wanted by your parents or not??
