First of all, I feel like I have to confess that I am not someone who is verbally aggressive. I don’t have the capability to win an argument as I find long and meaningless discussions appalling. As an extremely introverted individual, I tend to avoid social interactions as much as possible. I do recall an incident where I had a major disagreement with my parents. It was during the time, it was after I passed my 10th board examination and my parents wanted me to choose a science stream for further studies. However, I wasn’t actually prepared to make a decision then. I thought I needed more time to evaluate all possible outcomes. However, they were persistent and they wanted me to take a science stream so that I could become a doctor in the future. I had to make a decision and my arguments were not valued by them. However, I had to go along with their decision reluctantly as a responsible and as someone who doesn’t want to be caught in an argument, I reluctantly agreed to their demands. However, it all ultimately worked out towards the end as I passed with great marks during my final examination.
