Brother Dear Response

          The person from "Brother Dear" Bernice Friesen that I connect with the most is Sharlene. She is almost exactly like me when it comes to decisions regarding the way we run our lives. Usually, what my parents want me to do, is what I do. I have little confidence to actually stand up to them and become what I want. Now, I have gained some confidence in myself to tell them what I want to become. Thye told me that I should follow my own path and become what I want to become. This is just like Sharlene from the story, who is afraid to tell her dad that she wants to go to Europe and become a writer than going to university like her dad wants. This just proves that we are constantly trying to please the people who still hold a little power over us.
