Rahul has been my friend since high school. We both enjoyed playing volleyball in school and got along well. As our 12th standard classes were coming to an end, we both were confused about our career choices. We both were fascinated by machines. We even built our own radio by looking up the instructions on the internet. Gradually it became clear that I was going to go for a vocational course which would help me become a machinist. My parents too were supportive of this choice.
However, Rahul's father was furious at him when he asked him about joining the course. He had other plans for Rahul. There were lots of arguments at his home about this issue. Throughout this time I was supportive of Rahul and his career choice. With the help of my parents and Rahul's mother, we were all able to convince his father to allow him to join the course. It was a struggle which was worthwhile as today Rahul is a successful machinist. He enjoys his work and is very content with his life. Everyone, including his father, is very proud of his work and the career choice that he has
