Resolving a Conflict....

Okay, my mom really wants me to go to college after high school. I have plans of what I want to do... I'm playing on moving to Peopria and take and apprenticeship at a tattoo shop. I really want to get my tattooing license. It doesn't require a college degree to do it. My Mom wants me to go to College. We argue about it all the time, but about 2 months ago it was terrible. She basically told me that it would be a waste of time for me to be a tattoo artist. So, it just made me feel like I was useless. In the whole heat of the moment I told her that I didn't care about anything she thinks, and that her opinion didn't matter. It made her upset... I could tell. I was too upset to apologise at that point. I basically ingnored her all week because I knew I would say something horrible. So Saturday came around and I was about to got to town... I couldn't just leave after ignoring her all week. She was in the living room watching TV... I hesitated to do it... It was awkward, and I hate apologising to her after she wouldn't even try to accept what I wanted. I walk in ready to honestly say I was sorry... "Hi, Mom... Um... I'm sorry about what I said. Your opinion does matter to me, but I know what I really want." She stared at me for a second then looked away. Then she replied, "I know you care, but I think it would be a good back-up plan to go through college in case anything doesnt go in your favor." Then it hit me... She was right. It was a good idea, and I still could do what I wanted. I have looked into many art schools since then. There's actually 2 that I've just applied for. I'm hoping I get in. I'm looking foward to going. I could learn more about art. I could get better.
