I reached to this point despite many obstacles

Since I am the youngest of three children in my family, I have gotten a lot of perks. However, when I became a young adult, I saw that the cons outweigh the pros. In elementary school, I woke up at 8:00 AM everyday to go to school with my mom yelling out my name," Mubdi, get up!! Today is school." She used to help me brush my teeth properly even though I was sure I knew how to do it myself, but she always yelled, "No you are doing it wrong. The germs are still there!" She made breakfast for me by pouring in the milk before the cereal- I know it's odd- and even forces me to eat with her hand feeding it to me even though I could eat myself. I would tell my mom," I can do this myself. Why are you always doing this for me. I am getting a little too old now." She always avoided answering these questions and helped me wear my clothes and get prepared for school.

The thing that irritated me the most is when either my mother or my father tied my shoelaces and selected my clothes for school. By the time I entered middle school, I was getting sick of all the attention. So one night while my parents were sleeping, I woke up at 1 AM and used the internet as a resource to see how to tie shoelaces in a YouTube video. After a few times watching it and trying it out myself, I got it around the fourth or fifth time how to do the "loop the loop." I was so proud of myself initially because I was able to figure it out myself with my own logical thinking. But I was still upset with my parents had spoiled me and didn't encourage me to do things on my own. Thus before 9th grade started, I confronted them about this issue for the first time and wasn't going to let them get away. I told them, "Why do you do everything for me when I know I have the potential to do these things and a lot more, you could have just taught me how to tie my shoelaces instead". My parents tried to change the subject by saying I was going to be late to school which is in Manhattan. But I told them straight up that you have to answer this question or I will be mad with you for the rest of my life. They did finally open up to me about why they treat me like their precious baby. They wanted me to stay with them forever because my other siblings were in college and had jobs and one of them was married. They didn't want to lose me. I was very thankful for their love at that point, but I showed them that I had learned how to tie shoes and wear my clothes properly from the internet. I understand my parents would feel pain in letting me go, but I told them, "People learn from life experiences and although you showed a lot of love for me, you accidentally taken away the life skills that I needed to learn at home to be successful in life. But I've showed you know that I am capable of doing things on my own and I am not "slow" like you thought I was when I was younger because I had bad handwriting and thus you put me into occupational therapy. So I just ask for a little freedom."

My parents hesitated at first, but they did let me go gradually and let me make my own decisions in high school. I thank them for that because they have allowed me to do so much in high school that I had not ever done before in my life. I became proud of myself when I saw that my hard work helped me achieve a 94 average and reach the top 10 percent of my school which has more than 400 kids in my senior class. But I also thank my parents because that was a very hard thing to do for them as well, letting their youngest child go and hopefully one day become the chemical engineer he inspires to be and get the income to help him, his family, and the whole world.
