My Parents Disowned Me For Dropping Out of College, Now They're My Janitors

hi my name is daddy and I am 23 years old today I'm going to tell you the story of how I went from having nothing to having everything well yeah one thing is true I belong to a privileged family and my parents were loaded but trust me I never lied on their money everything I had was on my own both my mom and dad had high-profile jobs in the banking sector that's how they met each other at their workplace when I was a kid I used to ask my mom why she married dad her answer would be he was rich and successful like me it was a perfect match even though I was a kid I knew that marrying someone for that reason was not the right thing to do what about love I used to ask further did you like dad Betty mom would say in a stern voice the first thing you need to survive in this world is wealth and after that status stop watching those stupid movies and getting delusional ideas you have to perform well at your school and get a high paying job like your dad and me that's all that should matter for you so yeah pretty much they had high expectations of me they got me enrolled in the best school of the city and even forced me to take many different classes after school you need to have an all-rounded personality Betty dad would say I don't want my child to lag behind of course they didn't care about what I wanted if they thought that I needed to get programming classes then I had to no matter what they couldn't see that six hours of school and then six hours of the so called extra classes was taking a toll on me I couldn't even make time for self studying it was a vicious circle of home school and extra classes even the weekends are not a relief to me my parents would always take me to this party and there they would compare me to the other kids and put more pressure on me to be better than those kids one day I collapsed in my school the doctor said that it was because of stress and not taking proper rest Betty why are you doing this to us mom exclaimed when we got back home we provide you with everything why can't you take care of yourself I don't want my daughter to look weak in front of others dad added Betty I will enroll you in a physical fitness class learn to take care of yourself now how was the day I snapped not outwardly of course on the outside I was still there obedient daughter who just smiled and agreed with everything they said but on the inside I was boiling with rage I was done playing the good daughter and suffering what was the use of listening to them when they couldn't even acknowledge my efforts I started my silent rebellion from the very next day I started bunking my classes if I did attend them I used them to make up for my sleep after school was over I would go over to my friends house to pass the time I barely attended any of my extra classes and I was not just doing this because of my parents I was simply not interested in those classes of course my parents soon received the complaints from my teachers but nothing they said affected me any more they could scold me and all but they couldn't physically force me to go and attend my classes they were helpless my grades were affected too and contrary to my parents expectations I was flunking big-time Betty enough is enough my dad yelled one day what has gotten into you you didn't used to be like this I am so sorry dad I made an innocent face I'm trying my best you know we should be grateful that I'm managing the pass at all Betty mom exclaimed in a horrified voice I shrugged it's true mom sorry if I offended you but this is my capacity I can't do any better than this these kinds of fights happen to every other day and just like that I graduated from high school with really bad grades I couldn't secure I'd mention in any good college with such grades but my parents were not going to let me go to a community college of course it was a question of their reputation they used their connections and got me enrolled in one of the best universities of the US I really didn't want it but oh well what could I say we are sending you to learn about Business and Economics dad said by the time you graduate you will have a really good job at your hands don't let this opportunity go Betty how ironic he wanted me to study economics when I already knew most of the things there were to it ok so I may have left out a few details from my high school story when I was around the age of 15 the time when I started to rebelled against my parents was also the time when I started something else I started my own online business now you all didn't really think that I was just a spoiled brat who didn't care about her future did you of course I wanted to disobey my parents but I needed a back-up plan for my career as well the only subject that remotely interested me was Business and Economics I did some research on how I could trade my sneakers and collection cards online and well the rest is history at first it started out slow I used to get reasonable prices for my stuff but as time passed and they learned a few tricks of the business it got better there were more and more customers and more orders I was able to buy the items for selling now that I had earned some money my business slowly grew thusly within a year or two I was earning a small fortune my parents were unaware of this of course I made sure to keep it a secret as more time passed I started earning more than the income of all my high school teachers combined I didn't really know how much my parents earned but I was at a stage where I could say that more or less I was at par with them that was pretty much the story of my online business now I also had other stuff going on like elearning courses and fortunately everything was successful so far I don't know why but for some reason I didn't want my parents to know about any of it maybe it was because I knew that they would start showing me fake affection if they found out that I was earning so much I didn't want that I was okay with whatever I was getting from them in the form of feelings at least they were genuine and moreover I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of bragging about me to their friends and colleagues anyway so I went to this university that they got me enrolled into my first day there and I already knew that it was a place from hell the economics professor had it out for me for some reason apparently he had checked my grade card and stuff and he didn't like the fact that I got admission to the University with such low grades he started humiliating me in front of the entire class bringing up my low grades again and again do you see these students he pointed towards my classmates they are all toppers of their schools this is a class of achievers you don't belong here if you have a problem with me then why don't you take it up with my parents and the admissions officer this is what I wanted to say but I kept my mouth shut I knew better than to talk back to a professor this went on day after day because of him I had become an outcast of my batch no student wanted to associate with an underachiever like me moreover this so-called professor didn't even have his concept straight I had been noticing it from day one firstly he used to teach us only the theory part completely neglecting the practical application and secondly he usually relied on bookish knowledge it was like he had mugged up the concepts and often made mistakes while teaching if a student cross-questioned him he would usually just yell and shut them up well that student who used to cross question was usually me but that's besides the point if he considered himself to be so high and mighty and so well versed in his subject he should have been able to clear my doubts right instead he only used to humiliate me if I ever asked him anything none of my classmates ever side with me or spoke against him it was so frustrating I used to give a few lectures in my elearning classes they were all about conducting a successful online business creating and selling products etc my lectures were pretty popular among the online students and as someone who used to teach them it was pretty frustrating to see that my professor was making a mess of the whole course in the university two semesters passed like this I don't know how I tolerated those classes and those useless lectures by the economics professor I had made up my mind to drop out of the University during the third semester one day a guy from my class approached me while I was sitting by myself in the cafeteria I was pretty surprised because none of my classmates had ever talked to me they usually avoided me because no one wanted to get on the bad side of the professor because of me hi I'm Ben the guy said scratching his neck awkwardly yeah I nodded we are in the same class I know you umm I don't know how to ask you this but he started earning a frown from me aren't you the girl who gives online lectures on practical uses of business and economics my eyes widened you've seen my lectures he nodded smiling yeah I've been watching your lectures since the last semester I must say they are really helpful and now I understand why you're against the way of teaching from our professor he is not really doing a good job yeah highside it's really unbearable for me I'm going to drop out soon I can't stand his classes not to mention the grudge that he holds against me Ben was quiet for a moment before he took a seat in front of me I have a suggestion if you don't mind why don't you help out the students of our University with your knowledge it will be good for your business as well as the students who would learn something useful - it's just a suggestion though the final decision is up to you I gave it a thought then look to me at his eyes I will be dropping out soon though and I don't really think that any of the students are too keen on talking to me you don't have to remain at the University to do it and as for the students don't worry about them I will convince a few of my friends to attend your classes I'm pretty sure that your lectures will get popular among other students see well it wasn't a bad idea and I had nothing to lose anyway so I nodded let's give it a try I told him with a thankful smile I dropped out of college soon after that I didn't tell anyone of course I couldn't that my parents find out about it I rented an office space in front of the University and promoted my elearning business there I received my first batch of students from the university itself with Ben's help these students were convinced after attending a few of my lectures as Ben had predicted my courses got more popular and my business started doing even better than it was doing before all the students who had enrolled with my courses were helping in opening their own businesses and almost all of them proved to be successful within a short span of a few months but there was a slight problem with these students they used to complain that it was tough for them to manage their university studies and online business simultaneously I had only one piece of advice for them to drop out of the university I mean they couldn't expect it performed better in both aspects because both the things were equally demanding I had first-hand experience of it however when I was in university my business was already producing millions in turnover so I had a lot of staff to help me but these students who had just started out their businesses needed to dedicate their time and attention to it in order to be successful in the long run if this is what you really want to do I told them then you don't have to think twice about dropping out your life is already set with your online business and most of them took Reisen dropped out I must say I was a bit nervous because it was not my life what if something went wrong with them and they blamed me for it but all that nervousness vanished after a few weeks when the businesses of those students started performing better and better I had now successfully achieved what I wanted I could proudly say that my online courses were more helpful than that of the best university of the u.s. students never stopped coming to my office more and more students were dropping out of the University and starting their own online business soon enough a wave of dropouts was created and obviously the university was going to take a note of this fact they started investigating into the matter to find out what exactly was happening well too bad that they found out everything but never found out that one of their dropouts aka me was the reason behind all this mess you see I never exposed my real occupation to them I was just one of the students who had dropped out along with many others they never really found out that I was the one running the courses that taught real life online business to the students I had even hired some of the students as teachers for my course after they had successfully completed their study under me the university was planning on attacking my business and shutting all of it down but it was pretty difficult for them given that they didn't even know the CEO I must say it was quite a show they were interrogating the students that dropouts the professor's but they never found out the truth I wish they knew that they needed to change their professors instead of investigating a business that was stealing its students but oh well I still couldn't forget my economics professor the man because of whom all this happened in the first place it was funny how the negative things in my life had always driven me to do something worthwhile first it was my parents who pushed me to the edge it was all thanks to them that I retaliated and discovered my passion for economics and business at least something good came out of all mean things they had done to me and after my parents it was my professor who drove me to help the students at the University to establish their own successful online ventures I wondered if my professor still remembered me the girl he had always humiliated and insulted the girl who had become an outcast because of him and my parents I hadn't really received any calls or texts from them aside from the occasional how are you doing the University but what else was I expecting they had just sent me here to get my degree and then get a job they didn't care for anything else heck they didn't even bother visiting me did they even think about my well being or if I was happy I doubted it they were too busy earning money I couldn't help but laugh every time I thought about how my own parents didn't know that their daughter was a college dropout who was earning millions from her online business anyway as all the stuff at the university was happening a crisis suddenly struck it was a worldwide tragedy and it hit the economy severely all the businesses were affected and most of the multinational companies started firing their employees to cut costs everyone had now turned to online business which was the only sector where profits have prevailed everything else was in danger even universities and colleges are suffering greatly and were almost on the verge of disappearing students were now adopting online learning methods it was a golden period for my company business was thriving all the businessmen that my company had produced for doing well too in short this crisis really didn't affect me but it did prove to be failed for some people I knew I was casually lounging near the reception area of the main branch of my company when a man entered he went to the receptionist and started inquiring about the course for online practices his familiar voice piques my interest and I looked up to see that it was my dearest economics professor from Boca University of that I used to attend I didn't waste any time walking up to him and greeting him sir what brings you here I asked in genuine curiosity I want to enroll in the course for online business practices he replied what are you doing here what have you been up to after dropping out of college don't tell me that you're still lazing around wasting your parents money excuse me sir the receptionist spoke you can't talk to her like that she is our CEO please treat her with respect the professor's jaw hit the floor and I shift my head with a sad smile do you still think so lowly of me I asked I don't know what I ever did to you but it really hurts that you hate me for no apparent reason at all I he stuttered avoiding my eye contact you had such low grades how could I not hate you you didn't belong in my class and you always used to cross question me even when I knew that I couldn't answer your queries of course I hated you well someone's low grades are not an excuse for humiliating them I replied even with my little grades I am running such a big company today aren't I and as for you not being able to answer my questions that was your incapacity as a professor you have no right to blame me for that aside I know now I really didn't deserve to be a professor that's why I'm here today I want to learn something useful and do my own thing my theoretical knowledge is getting me nowhere especially at a time like this when everyone is turning to online learning I really need to learn something practical and useful well at least he had come to a realization now I assigned him to a class which was taught by a 21 year old dropout student I really couldn't stop laughing at the irony of the whole situation I knew for a fact that it was really tough for the professor to swallow his pride and attend the lectures of a 21 year old meanwhile I got a call from my parents they had lost their jobs and were now unemployed of course they called me to tell me about their problems they even told me to look for a part-time job and earn my own income because they couldn't support me I told them not to worry about me and jokingly I added that they should try applying in my company as we had various vacancies of course I didn't tell them it was my company I just said that I had seen a company on the Internet I didn't know that they would take my words seriously it would actually apply for a job imagine my surprise when I got to work one day to find my parents cleaning my office I dropped my handbag in shock they looked up to see me and seemed equally surprised mom dad what are you doing here I asked in an unstable voice Betty mom said in surprise what a coincidence do you work here too we applied for this company as he had told us to luckily we got the job dad said it's not much I mean it's quite pathetic that we are working as janitors now but in times of such crisis we have no other option I had never even thought in my wildest dreams that my parents who were all about wealth and social status would be working janitors one day fate could be really cruel sometimes huh everyone's life was taking 180-degree turn and I couldn't help but feel like they desert what they were getting but at the end of the day those people were my parents and they couldn't just not tell them they would find out sooner or later then again I wanted to keep it a secret and let them do what they were doing I had never been so torn in my life it was such a dilemma should I tell them or not
