Am I supposed to fulfill my relatives' expectations?

Am I supposed to have my own desires and the desire to pursue them?

Am I supposed to be a studious, intellectual type - like the people I have seen in college and admired?

Am I supposed to be a very simple and down to earth - like the people I like to be with?

Am I supposed to be a businessman-like, uninterested-in-studies kind of person which most of my relatives are?

Am I supposed to be like my father, who is a very socially active and visible person?

Am I supposed to earn a lot of money, like what my ancestors and relatives did and are doing?

Am I supposed to be very religious, like some of ancestors were?

Am I supposed to just leave outside of society, like my mother's mother did?

Am I supposed to be God-loving, people-loving person that many people I like are?

Am I supposed to be like a professional who will mind his job and try to earn more skills to get a better respected job?
