Investing for my passion

Hey guys, just felt like typing up a blog for some reason.
Here goes anyway.

Recently, my parents have been watching me play Starcraft, also watching the GSL and obviously have noticed my passion for the game. I've been doing well in school to make my parents happy, balancing games with my life and still maintaining above average marks. My parents came home today, and told me that they've discussed it with other relatives such as my uncle(s) and auntie(s) that they are all chipping in to invest into a fast-food store as a part of a franchise (whatever that means, basically it's just another KFC outlet or something)

They sat down with me at the dinner table and told me that they are doing this so that part of the money that will be made from the store will go towards giving me a chance to go to Korea once I finish school and take a gap year. I broke down in tears. My parents never supported the idea of me playing games so much, but they've decided to take this initiative to help me go to Korea and experience eSports for myself. I felt like I owed the world to my parents, and I will be working hard in the next 1-2 years of my education to make them proud.

Very lucky you, Although maybe you should consider just investing it into a stress free 1-2 years of college?

Good luck to you and maybe we will see you on gom

Sounds pretty sweet Good luck!

You plan on actually trying out in the SC2 scene? You're a high-ranked Master League player and all that jazz?

Even if you don't participate directly in the pro-scene, a trip to Korea sounds like a great experience. Be sure to report on the food as well as the progaming scene.
