Dear Daddy,

"Now you're old enough to be out there alone
We won't be there with you
No one to tell you what to do and what not to
You'll have to make decisions and face your challenges
Whatever you do from now will determine your future

So be good, go to lectures, read your books, save for rainy days, choose your friends wisely, don't be influenced by peer pressure, don't join the bad gangs, not everyone you see here is a student, know where you come from, and always pray" Daddy said to me

Dear daddy,
It's been six years since you sent me off to this new world,
I've made many decisions on my own, fought my battles, faced many challenges,
But also I have gotten my heart broken, laughed with strangers, kissed a girl, danced all night in a club, smoked a few blunts, got wasted on alcohol, missed a couple of lectures, and spent more than I have saved.

I did all you said I should and all you said I shouldn't.
If according to you, my future has been determined by these acts,

Daddy, what will my future be?
