She was enraged and\nstrongly opposed to your joining the National Cadets. Although I sympathize\nwith you, of breaking the relationship between you and Grandmother by fighting\nfor your freedom, I still want you to know the possible reasons of Grandmother\nstopping you from joining the National Cadets, and consider again whether to\ncontinue joining it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; First, Grandmother knows you more than other\npeople and family members, as she raised you. She knows well about your\ncharacter, and so on. She knows that you are a little reckless, as you did not\nconsider the consequences of joining the National Cadets and joined it secretly\nbefore. Therefore, your grandmother may think that you are not suitable for\nbeing a soldier, as your recklessness may drive you to do something dangerous.\nGrandmother\u2019s opinions are true, thus you should further consider them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Second, Grandmother also is concerned about\nyour safety. I remember that your father died in the National Cadets. As a\nGrandmother, undeniably, she does not want this tragedy to happen again on her\ndear grandson. The sensation of family is strong for Grandmother, and she does\nnot want to lose you. She loves you so much. Therefore, if you want to treat\nher nicely and be a good grandson, please listen to her words, as she thinks\nthis is good for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Thirdly, Grandmother only wants to make the\nbest choice for you. Although you may not like it, from Grandmother\u2019s\nperspective, maybe it is the best for you. Grandmother is much older than you,\nand also more experienced. You are still young, not so experienced at all.\nTherefore, Grandmother wants to make the best decision for you, just for the\nsake of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Lastly, I hope you will accept my opinions. I\nalso hope you will consider not joining the National Cadets after knowing the\npossible reasons of obeying Grandmother. Remember that Grandmother loves you so\nmuch. Try your best to obey her, and not to disappoint her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Best wishes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Eunice Chung<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>DeaMr. Li<\/p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><p>I heard that you decided to join the NationaCadets secretly, not letting your grandmother know this.
