I always feel hard to get along with my dad. Although we are from the same bloodline, we are two totally different. I am not satisfied with the current situation since I am not financially independent that every time I should obey my dad's wish with no exceptions. So I want to change. When I graduated from high school, I thought it was the time to make a change and to be independent. I am interested in studying arts, so when choosing my major, I insisted to choose my own major from Arts and Humanity Department instead of Business school, which was my dad's wish. He thought that I could find a better job in the future by studying business. He didn't agree with me and requested me to modify the choice. Well, he is the one who pay for my tuition fee, so I had obey his wish. But I was still thinking of changing my major, so as soon as I entered my university, I did it without telling my father. I protected this secret with great care (小心翼翼地) for almost one year, and he finally found the truth by my freshman year academic transcript. He was so furious that he cut off my financial sources. I was also adamant and I wanted to show him that I was right. So I started doing some part-time jobs to afford my tuition fee. I earned a lot of money and took part in multiple activities to gain more working experience. Finally I got the outstanding graduate prize in our province. When I dropped my certificate in front of his face, he smiled. Dad said that he was always proud of me and wished I could get great progress without his help, because he could not always be with me and help me to solve all the problems. That was the first time he agreed with me. I’m glad that my efforts paid off（得到回报）.
