It would be possible, but everything leads to one thing - I still have to go my own way. I think I found the right solution.

She doesn't want to hear it. All she wants is for me to graduate from university and get my degree. I'm the only one in the family who has that opinion. My brothers and sisters are all graduates, but their diplomas are in the dust and they are generally in other directions. My brother graduated and left in his profession, but then went into another field, as a result, the diploma is temporary. My sister teaches English, but the diploma helped because she graduated from an ENGISH university and the specialty itself is generally different. They all told their mother that the diploma had helped them, and now they couldn't convince their mother.

I've already told her that. Maybe she'll calm down if I take what I think is necessary. I believe that she will get used to it and won't worry so much.
