My mother often urged me to   38   the high standards she set for me. W ww.k s5u.co m

When I was in high school, I played in a rock band with friends in my class. We were devoted and practiced constantly. We moved past the guys – in – a – garage stage and   39   to be pretty good, doing getting – paid gigs (演奏會(huì)) most weekends, which made me   40  . At that time, though part of me was   41  up in that band, another part of me was the oldest son in the Clark family,   42  of my origin and a dedicated student busy applying to colleges. Without even telling my parents, I applied to Harvard. I didn’t think I had much chance of getting in,   43   I wanted to try. So I was riding around being Mr Cool Rock Musician half of the time, and the other half I was focused on family and   44   goals. I was running on parallel   45  .

When the group won a city wide Battle of the Bands, things heated up. My band mates had stars in their eyes – we might be able to make it big. However, I began to feel   46  . I realized I was on quite different tracks: I   47   was becoming two people,   48   identities back and forth depending on who I was with. I had to make an option.

My bandmasters were   51  . They thought I was crazy to withdraw   52   the peak of real success. But however successful that band got, I knew it wasn’t in line with my   53  , with my feeling of what I was   54   to do, with who I was – it simply wasn’t me.

In that instant and in many others throughout my life, my parent’s advice has helped me recenter and   55  . I could remember who I was – the hopes and dreams I carried.
