Arman: Hey Mum, can we talk about something?
Mum: Sure, what's on your mind?
Arman: Well, our school team has been invited to participate in the national football championship. As a captain of the team, I really want to be involved in it.
Mum: Football? What about your grades? You've been struggling lately. I don't want you to fail your classes. It should concern you more than me!
Arman: I know my grades haven't been great, but it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I don't want to miss it.
Mum: No buts! You're not going to the championship, and that's final.

Mum: Promises, promises. You say that every time, but you always end up neglecting your responsibilities.
Arman: But…

Arman: Mum, please. Football has always been my dream since I was a little boy. I've been waiting for this moment entire life. Did you have a childhood dream that you always wanted to achieve, didn’t you?
Mum: (pauses) Even if I did, that's not a point.
Arman: I see that you also had a dream and wanted to be supported by your parents.
Mum: It doesn't matter. The point is, I want the best for you and your future.

Arman: Good morning, Sir. How are you doing?
P.E teacher: I'm well, Arman, thank you for asking. How about you? Is everything alright?
Arman: Can’t say so. The tournament you suggested me to participate… I have some problems with that.
P.E teacher: So, you can’t go with us? Did you hurt something, or maybe you have some family matters?
Arman: Not really, I'm dying to go with you and prove myself as a footballer, but… My mum just doesn’t allow me to do that.
P.E teacher: I see. What is the reason, Arman?
Arman: Well, my grades haven't been good recently, and my mum thinks that I need to focus more on my studies and less on extracurricular activities. She brings it up every time I talk about the football club. I think it's obvious that they just want me to finally drop everything and devote all my time to education.
P.E teacher: Frankly speaking, I understand her concern, Arman. Grades and studying are certainly important for you. However, I also understand how much this tournament means to you. I’ve seen that you put the hard yards to take part in the tournament. Let's see if we can find a way to convince your parents to let you participate.
Arman: Thank you so much!!! I sincerely hope everything works out.

After a conversation with Arman's curator, his mother thought about her son's further achievements. Finally, she decided to give the opportunity to choose another path - a path that will reflect his desires. Eventually, this competition was approved and Arman's team became a winner of the annual football tournament among teenagers. After such experience, Arman realized that it is possible to achieve a permission by finding an approach, avoiding conflicts between generations.

Unfortunately, after a conversation with Arman's curator, his mother still did not change her decision about the upcoming football tournament. Arman had to stay at home; therefore his team lost the championship. However, the worst thing was that he ruined his relationship with his mother, failing to escape the conflict between generations. Finding an approach to a person turned out to be much more complicated than it seemed to Arman initially.Arman: Hey, mum. Did you talk with my P.E. teacher?
Mum: Yes, I did. We discussed reasons of my doubts. I guess, he understand me, but I see how the championship is important for you and your team. May be, there are some ways for you to participate. I am thinking about possible consequences of my choice, so may be we need to ask your curator whether about your school perfomance in order to clarify the situation?
[[Talk to curator]]Arman: Hey, mum. Did you talk with my P.E. teacher?
Mum: Yes, I did. And I am disappointed in your irresponsibility. Did you really think that I don't understand how good you are at football? Come on, Arman.

Arman: As far as you know, you need to have a good portfolio to enter prestigious universities. Educational institutions highly appreciate extracurricular achievements. If I can participate in the tournament, then I could strengthen my achievements. Will, I know I haven't been doing very well in some of my classes, but I'm really motivated to succeed.So could you talk to my parents about this? I will be very grateful.
Mrs. Saule: I understand how exciting the tournament can be, however as a curator I have to remind you that your education is also a priority. I will try my best, but it's not a piece of cake work.
Arman: Thank you, Mrs. Saule. I won't let you down.

After a conversation with Arman's curator, his mother still did not change her decision about the upcoming football tournament. Arman had to stay at home; therefore his team lost the championship. However, thanks to finding an approach to a person, Arman still managed to maintain good relations with his parents, avoiding conflicts between generations. You’re ruining my dream! You’re acting the same as your parents! I can’t believe you will repeat their mistakes, understanding how does it feel!
Mum: I'm tired of your childish behavior. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions. That’s all I wanted to say.

Arman: Good morning, Sir. How are you doing?
P.E teacher: I'm well, Arman, thank you for asking. How about you? Is everything alright?
Arman: Can’t say so. The tournament you suggested me to participate… I have some problems with that.
P.E teacher: So, you can’t go with us? Did you hurt something, or maybe you have some family matters?
Arman: Not really, I'm dying to go with you and prove myself as a footballer, but… My mum just doesn’t allow me to do that.
P.E teacher: I see. What is the reason, Arman?
Arman: Well, my grades haven't been good recently, and my mum thinks that I need to focus more on my studies and less on extracurricular activities. She brings it up every time I talk about the football club. I think it's obvious that they just want me to finally drop everything and devote all my time to education.
P.E teacher: Frankly speaking, I understand her concern, Arman. Grades and studying are certainly important for you. However, I also understand how much this tournament means to you. I’ve seen that you put the hard yards to take part in the tournament. Let's see if we can find a way to convince your parents to let you participate.
Arman: Thank you so much!!! I sincerely hope everything works out.
P.E teacher: Uhm…. What should I say to your parents?

P.E. teacher: Ok, let's see. I'll do anything in my power.
[[Later that day...]]Arman: Hey, mum. Did you talk with my P.E. teacher?
Mum: Yes, I did. And I am disappointed in your irresponsibility. Did you really think that I don't understand how good you are at football? Come on, Arman. It never made a difference since your study was the reason of my choice. As a result of your irresponsibility, now I have more doubts that you understand the importance of your education.

[[I should return home]]Did I have a childhood dream? Yes, I did. And I never got to achieve it because my parents didn't support me. I don't want to make the same mistake with my child. Maybe I should give him a chance to follow his dreams.
[[Talk to teacher]]He should grow up and stop acting as a child. I want him to success, but he cannot prioritize his own life. Endless promises… I’m so tired of them. Of course, football may seems like essential part of his life. Nevertheless, school shouldn’t pale in significance. Even if he cannot realize that, I will help him in that way.
[[Leave and visit P.E teacher]]Arman: Hey, mum. Did you talk with my P.E. teacher?
Mum: Yes, I did. We discussed reasons of my doubts. I guess, he understand me, but I see how the championship is important for you and your team. May be, there are some ways for you to participate. I am thinking about possible consequences of my choice, so may be we need to ask your curator whether about your school perfomance in order to clarify the situation?
