He went on to state that he feels his dreams are getting crushed due to his parents’ concerns. “I’ve worked really hard for this, and it felt like all the struggle finally paid off. But now, just when everything was falling into place, my parents are refusing to send me because of Delhi’s pollution,” said one.
He added, “I understand it’s a valid concern, but it feels like my dreams are getting crushed right when I’m this close to achieving them…. I feel stuck and, honestly, pretty heartbroken. I don’t want to let this opportunity slip away.”
Many commented on the post. One person stated that it was a wasted opportunity, and the parents should understand despite their concerns. Another added, “If they’re not letting you come here because of pollution, that’s a bad reason. There should be some substantial reason for not letting you come to Delhi. You’re gonna be in love with the city once you settle here.” A third person stated that the student’s parents were not right in taking away a good opportunity.
Many encouraged the person to seize the opportunity no matter what.
