Pretend that you are Sushila. Write a letter to one of your friends describing how you were able to persuade your parents to allow you to go to university.

Dear Nisha,
I am very happy today and want to share my happiness with you. My parents agreed to let me go to university, but it was not easy. Actually, they wanted me to get married. They had already looked for a boy for getting me married to. I was quite upset to know this. As you know I wanted to stand on my own feet before marriage by becoming a qualified nurse. I told this my parents. They didn’t like my idea at first. They told me that they cannot afford my further studies. But I managed to convince them by telling them to spend the money required for my marriage on my education so that I can secure my future. They got convinced and agreed to let me join the nursing course. Today my happiness knows no boundaries! Hope you are doing fine.
Do be in touch!
Your friend,
Sushila
