    <content type="html">&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.dermorae.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/essay-writers.jpg"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grew up in a family of &lt;a href="http://www.bestessays.com/custom_writing.php"&gt;essay writers&lt;/a&gt;. Thus, there were a lot of expectations pointed on me. A lot of people look forward to seeing me just as successful as my parents are in the field of writing &lt;a href="http://www.bestessays.com/"&gt;custom essays&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.britishcouncil.org/arts-music-graphic"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;My parents and my brother share the same passion. And yes, I am an exemption to that. I have my own, and that is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music"&gt;music&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just before I entered college, my family and I had a fight. It’s absolutely not the usual petty fights among family members. It was a huge one, which almost led to shattering my dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They’re all against me, just like what I have expected. A lot of queries and persecutions were handed on me. I was even grounded for a month just because I don’t share the same passion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.searchenginepeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/goal-objective-setting.jpg"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have almost given up. Thanks to my grandparents who acted as mediators. My family understood everything and we reconciled.  Today, I am happy doing what I love doing most. I can now say that no matter how tough the road may seem, never give up your &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream"&gt;dreams&lt;/a&gt;.</content>
