33) If you could hold a conversation with someone (living or deceased) you consider significant, whom would you talk to and what would you talk about? Describe your conversation. (University of Oregon)
I wish I had one opportunity, where I could sit down patiently and explain to my grandmother the cons of early marriages in my generation.
Since she was old, she didn’t know much about my generation and the new traditions that we follow. I would start the conversation by briefing her about my generation and what trends are being followed. Surely, early marriages are now not a very common trend. It is only in the villages of India
Secondly, I would like to convey the message to her; that early marriage won’t lead a very successful life to a young lady. There are a lot of things waiting ahead in the future before I get married. I believe that the plans for my life lie in my hand therefore I should think twice before making such important decisions. Before marriage, comes education and finding a job, I believe that I need to settle myself and live an independent life before I have a spouse.
Marriage is definitely an important part of a person’s life and people need to settle fast. I would not disagree with my grandmother if she made that point because I understand her background and her lifestyle. However, overtime the meaning of marriage is not the same. Once you get married believe it or not you are stuck with the same person for the rest of your life (unless you want a divorceJ). Imagine living a teenage life as a caged person bounded with the rules of the man’s family. This does not define me as a person, I believe I am free and independent and I should be able to make my own choices.
I would end the conversation and prove my points, which satisfies her to believe me that early marriage is not preferred. I would end by telling her about my future life plans.
