I'd like someone to celebrate me..

10 points · submitted Jul 2025 by u/DeviantPost

Hi dad, I recently got an amazing job in a field I've been pursuing for 2 years, they're going to pay for my schooling and I'll have year round work!

My immediate family was happy for me but that was pretty much it... I guess I was hoping for a bit more. There's just so much going on that I don't know how to talk about, but I was hoping maybe this would be a bigger deal than they made of it. I'm going into a job that has a strong chance of setting me up for a successful life and I don't think they understand how important and exciting that is for me.

I just want someone to understand and be excited for me for more than a day or two.

Congratulations, that's so awesome. You have worked hard to get this opportunity and I'm sure you're gonna keep it up. So proud of you. Sometimes we have to be our own best advocate, nobody big you really understands how much this means to you.

Thank you, I was honestly on the verge of dropping this and moving on to tangential work though I wouldn't be able to do 100% of what I wanted. It was just an insane streak of luck that I came across this opportunity and I'm so happy they picked me!
