If I had done what my mother wanted me to do, I would not be a nail tech. I went to Business College immediately after graduating H.S. This was my mother's bidding. But I had always done nails for my friends. When I met my husband (in college), he saw that I was not happy there, and encouraged me to leave, and go to Beauty School. This idea made me very happy, so I politely DROPPED OUT of college! The day came that my mom saw me looking in the yellow pages for a beauty school, and asked me what the hell I was doing, and I told her. She immediately hit the roof, and told be to get out of her house. She felt that it was a "hobby" and not something you could make a career out of. I moved in with my now husband, and pursued my goals, and haven't stop since. Sometimes people can't visualize our dreams as we see them, therefore they can't support them. That was almost 6 years ago, and although my mom and I maintain a healthy relationship, I share non of my "nail business" with her. Does anyone here have a similar story? Has someone close to you openly scoffed at your dreams? Please Share. Thanks!
