In the Pond Essay

Being born and raised in the peaceful time encourages children to be close-ranged since the parents take care of everything especially in a wealthy family. My cousin is the first son in the family of both sides so it was easy to predict that he was spoiled since he was a boy. He always gets what he wants so he does not have think much about future. In high school, he ganged up with other groups and got in many fights. He was a trouble maker back then. He also played tricks with the teachers whom he did not like. Despite how his parents begged him, he till did as he pleased. The teachers disliked him and did not help him curving his grades. He made few friends but lots of enemies. He pushed away all the good students and drew more attention to the bunch of losers. He barely got anything out of school but troubles. After high school, he and his buddies got into a fight with another gang over some trifling misunderstandings. They were chased by the police. Luckily, he was not caught. Afraid that the situation might get worse, his parents sent him back to Vietnam to live with one of the aunties there. Surprisingly, he did not feel guilty at all. He actually took it as a vacation home and he was eligible to live and do whatever he liked. He looked down on everyone and he thought it was their duty to let him stay there since his parents paid for his living expenses. He caused troubles to all the family in Vietnam by telling lies about them to his parents. He told his mom how badly they treated him and insisted not to help them in financial anymore. He said they were not working but using his parents' money to satisfy themselves.
