Me? Or Mi Famila?

If it ever came down to picking my desire or my family's desire. I would pick the one that has the better out come.  I love my family and I know that they want what is best for me, but my mother raised me to be independent and think for myself. Being independent some times means having to go against your own family, Because  what they sometimes want for me isn't what I want.  Whatever I choose is going to have a consequence good or bad, but my family will still be there to support me no matter what.  

I wouldn't go against them all the time though. I will go with their desire some times. I'm not completely selfish. I will agree with them over my education or when I am allowed to get a job, but not over my personal life. Unless it is something they have more experience on or have good points on.
