Trevis Song is rising sophomore at University of Sydney, and he is and was one of my best childhood friends whom I have. He is the only one in the interviews who has both father and mother in the family. In other way, he grew up from normal family, which is different from mine. Trevis's remarks toward my family were very interesting and more "sympathetic."
I, firstly, tried to explain my family history to Tim. I said, "I raised up only with dad for most of my lifetime, and I could not see my mom for about little more than three years just after divorce. I thought my life was miserable, but having only father also gave some good teachings for me. How do you think about my family?"
Trevis said, "I grew up with lovely father and lovely mother, and I really think that you were in poor situation because you are not with mother. I am really proud of you saying that you can win the situation like this."
Therefore, I said, "So, you think maternal love is much more important?"
And Trevis said, "It is very important, the mothers' love toward us is immeasurable. I can't describe mother's unconditional dedication for me."
Finally, because the interview was held by Skype, and he did not have much time to answer all of questions, he added one more comment, "Having both parents is very significant element in our lives. I believe that when you had mother for whole lifetime until now on, I think you will have more positive characteristics. In other way, mother can give positiveness that can lead their children to make positive difference in their lives."
Trevis's comment was interesting because, not like many other interviewers, he said that having mother is the "most" important thing in all of people's lives. Even though he thought that I grew up strong because I had only dad for my family, he, generally, commented that I could be much better when my mother was in presence. Trevis was the only interviewer who made me to rethink about my mother's presence, and I really appreciate about his comment on my family situation.
