Hello there,
If you have read the last post and reflected on it, like I have, you must be confused and kind of curious. Well, I'd like to clear a few things up with all of you.
First thing, I do not just go out and about and buy the nicest Nike's on the block. It takes months of preparation. Months full of asking, begging, convincing, all that fun stuff. I do not just ask my dad, "Hey dad, can I get some new shoes?" NOPE, THAT'S ALIEN TERRITORY I'M GETTING MYSELF INTO IF I ASK HIM THAT QUESTION.
Second thing, I want to put an emphasis on the "Convincing" part. Thank you school, for teaching me how to write a persuasive essay and use convincing words to persuade my reader.
I give much thought and detail into what I say to my parents when it's time to get some new pick-ups.
Persuasions
1. I have old, worn-out shoes that don't fit me.
I sometimes tell them, "Man, my shoes are worn-out and are tight on me."
And they usually go, "Just wear them it's not a big deal, anak" (anak is a Filipino word for child, or son or daughter)
2. I worked really hard for them.
I also tell them "Dad, mom, I've been working really hard this past year, I got straight As, (no A minuses), I made the team, and I have doing hours and hours and hours of sweeping the floor for rice."
And they tell me, "Don't worry, it will all pay off in the end."
I guess it will.
3. I only have one pair.
"MOM, I USE THESE SHOES FOR SOCCER, BASKETBALL, CROSS COUNTRY, GOING TO SCHOOL, FORMAL PARTIES AND HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS."
4. I don't have a pair.
"Mom I don't even have a pair of shoes!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I guess I'm not the ASIAN PERSUASION after all.
But with a year full of these handy persuasions, you too, can get one pair of shoes. You may be confused too, like "I have 7 pairs, that's nothing to me." Well, one pair is worth a lot of value to me.
Don't be going around like Lawson and generalizing the people who go to Foot Locker. The people who go to Foot Locker are dreamers, believers, and buyers. I, for one, am a dreamer. It's crazy how some people have a wall of Jordans in their bedroom.
My point is, I don't get shoes easily.
Maybe we all need a pair sometimes.
Love,
Asian Occasion
