Throwing the Unexpected on my Mom
Storyboard Text
- Exposition
- Rising Action
- I got an 88 percent on my test today!
- Why did you only get 88 percent? I bet your friend got 100 percent. Why can't you get that?
- Rising Action
- Why are you always on your phone and never reading?
- I always tried the best I could when it came to school. All I really wanted was a passing grade but that's not what my mom wanted.
- Climax
- Mom, you have to understand I'm not like my friends. I'm trying the best I can and I want you to be happy results.
- She always brought up things when I didn't achieve a hundred percent. She would start comparing me to people, especially to my friend that did better academically.
- Falling Action
- I'm sorry I didn't realize that my words hurt you a lot. All I want is a successful future for you.
- Day after day she would bring up stuff that would cause tiny arguments. She would always tell me to get off my electronics even though I spent a whole 11 hours at school without it. I thought I had deserved a good break after a tiring day.
- Resolution
- Mom! I got a 95 percent on my math test. We should celebrate.
- Hahahaha, very funny. Good job, I'm proud of you!
- The next day, I had enough of her talking like that to me. I understand that academics are important and all she does is want what's best for me, but she wants me to be someone else I'm not. I decided to be open minded to her about it.
- After letting my feelings out, we finally had the chance to discuss how we both felt and tried to understand each other better.
- I often became opened about my feelings whenever my mom would bring something like that up again. I feel like she's beginning to trust in my abilities, because there isn't much comparison anymore or yelling at me to do stuff.
