Ruled by rules : How I got my freedom.

As a girl, I, Melinda grew up in a family that had strong standards and rules. Due to my parents' position and role in the community, the best was expected from me. My dad, an ambassador to the Alpha's group and my mom, a lawyer who worked as advocates for the governor. Although I received a lot of attention but I was not able to live my life like a normal teenager. My parents were the most strictest people in my life since I was the gifted child and an only female child they had lot of expectations from me. I always had that feeling that I was always being used as a slave and that feeling actually came to reality because I was practically enslaved in my parents' house. For instance, after dinner even though I was so full and tired after eating I was made to clean up, wash and complete up to twenty one tasks and at a point I vomited every thing I ate due to indigestion. My brothers who were in the navy have escaped and started their own family, leaving me to my demanding parents with their needs. My daily routine was being ordered by my mom and my extracurricular activities by my dad, as far I could remember I was homeschooled since when I was in nursery one. My Dad made me sign an agreement that I will only focus my books and club's activities, he also made swear that I will never have a crush on any boy or man until I finish my education and serving. In school, I worked my butt off and came out being the top best and they gave me scholarship for any prestigious college of my choice but I was too young to go to college so they prosponed the scholarship till I graduated from high school. I was regarded as the most respectful and disciplined student because of the intense training I got from my home tutors who were ten times stricter than my parents. I was not as free like the other girls in my class and I was regarded as the book worm and a classic nerd, I didn't have much friends to start with because my dad hired a chaperone for me so in class she acted as my guardian angel, she was the only one I could talk to and express my feelings to since other girls and boys said I was weird and didn't know how to people. My chaperone's name was Miss Roseline White also known as Aunt Rosey.
