Unsaid Expectations
I am the daughter of two immigrant parents.
I have the pressure of being everything they weren't able to be.
I must fulfill my dreams and meet their expectations.
There is no room for error.
I have to be the ideal big sister to three younger siblings.
I'm scared.
I'm scared that their sacrifices will be in vein.
I'm scared that I will disappoint them.
But I will make them proud.
I will be successful because my parents need me to be.
I will make it for all of us.
