This Wednesday, I met a friend in my high school days after two months' silence.
we discussed a lot of things about student life, good old memories of our school days and so on.
Suddenly, he talked about his experience in his childhood. It was a home training of his parents.
According to him, he was always told about good points of Waseda University from them when
he was so young. Little by little, he vaguely wanted to enter the university as they kept telling
that. Actually, he is a student of Waseda University. I thought the training way is like
brainwashing and told him so. Though he admitted my opinion, he deeply appreciated it because
they gave him the goal. By the way, he is studying hard to be a certified public accountant. It is
also the influence of "brainwashing". There are a various ways to bring up children according to
their nature. I think his parents are amazing from the point of finding the proper way to grow
him up. Of course, my parents didn't do such a thing. Rather, they depends on me about my
future.But, they sometimes give me genius advice when I am in trouble and it usually helps me.
So, they are great parents for me. the common point of me and my friend is that we are second
sons. I think parents learned the better way to raise children from the experience of first child
and it was reflected the way we were raised. In conclusion, Second children are brought up in a
better environment than first children.
