My Life Has Saved Me A Better Man

My dad taught me that hard work is the only way to succeed, and my mother taught me to express my love through words. The most important thing that my parents taught me was that everything has a consequence. I was taught that if you are out late then you wake up tired for school the next morning. If the room isn’t clean then you’ll live in filth and if the dishes aren’t done then there will be no plates for dinner. The entire bases of what my parents taught me revolves around this method of teaching.

My dad always said, “Whatever you put in your mind you will make it happen if you really want it”. These words I never forgot and have been in my mind ever since. He has always been my mentor and the person I look up to. He thought me to be independent and always to better myself.

My parents were my first real teachers. My dad, a police officer, and my step-father, was an EMT. Both of them taught me early, the value of hard work, discipline, compassion, and sacrifice. They taught me how to listen with

My parents told me that if I really wanted a car, I would have to be responsible and pay my own insurance, gas, maintain the car in good conditions, and learn the importance of driving safely. At first, I could never imagine the possibility of maintaining a car, or even saving up a large amount of money by working a part time a job. I felt like it was something completely impossible to do. However, when I finally saved enough money and bought a car, my perception of myself completely changed. I knew I could accomplish anything I set my mind to by working hard and not giving up.

As a young teenager, my love for cars and trucks grew strong. It seamed like every few months my father had a new car but didn’t understand why we couldn’t keep them all. At the time, my dad worked at an auto body shop, he took unrecognizable wreaked cars and repaired them to like new condition. In order to make extra income for the family, my father and I worked on his side projects every weekend. I was amazed with the inner mechanics of the numerous vehicles we worked on over the years. It always astonished me every time we recycled a distorted shell of a car and reassembled it into a shiny refurbished vehicle. Those long weekends, my dad not only taught me how to repair vehicles, but he also imbued in me that

Growing up, it was instilled in me that if I wanted something, I have to work hard for it. This taught me the importance of money from a very young age as I did not grow up in luxury but, my parents and grandparents are providing me with all the necessities and opportunities (education) to put myself in a better financial standing than we are currently in. Though I did not get some things that other children my age may have gotten when I was younger, I would not be the same person that I am today without these morals and that I am thankful

To illustrate, I have learned a valuable lesson from not listening to my parents. Having to do what my mom and dad tell me to do is tough. Especially, when I am in the middle of something important like a math problem or I am out working in my workshop. Then they yell at me to go do a job.

My dad is a firm believer in learning through experience. They both looked at me and my dad said, “Get on.” After putting on the dirt bike outfit mom and grandma gave I jumped on the bike. My dad Kneeled down at me and started talking about how to go stop turn shift and all I heard was go and stop. So now it was time I looked the part and have the cool bike now the pressure was on. We started it up and I pulled on the throttle and it started moving. I was doing well

By age seven, I knew how to change oil in a car, how to fix a leaky faucet, change a carburetor and cut grass without cutting corners, all thanks to my dad.

Learning how to drive a manual car definitely made me imagine about what more I can do. It changed the way I envision myself, raised my standards and what all else I can accomplish. It made me feel like you can learn any new skill, you must be motivated and determined and to foresee the final result. I learned what might have been easily acquired for some, might not be so easy for you. It’s easy for you to get discouraged because it’s taking you longer to learn than it did for others. If you wish to learn a new skill, you must focus on yourself. That only postpones the final result and doesn’t help the progress. Once I learned how to drive a manual car, it makes me feel proud that I learned and that feeling comes to me every time I sit in the driver’s

As I entered my teen years, my father expected more out of me than just being a good student. Dad always seemed to have projects going on around the house, and I became his helper. It did not matter what the project was, he always seemed to need my help and I was not happy about that. I had better things to do than wasting a weekend working around the house. Somehow my dad knew how to do everything and felt it was his job to teach all of it to me. I was a teenager and had all of the knowledge I would ever need, so I thought. As it turned out, most of the skills I obtained helping my father led me to a rather lucrative career in manufacturing a few years later.

It was one life-changing experience I was seven years old when I became grateful for the things that I had. I remember packing for this big trip my parents were planning for a year now. I precisely recall my mother telling me to go through my closet and pick clothes I did not use to give away, I didn't know why, but I didn't ask, I just did it. As the day got closer I remember my parents had accumulated a great amount of things to give away. I quite didn't understand why they were gathering so many things and for what reason.

An accident can happen to anyone at any time. It is so unusual and it happens because of our unwillingness and careless. I have heard news about people getting car accident in radio and TV. But this time I have experienced a nightmare incident in my life. I feel that everything happens for a reason .This is why my life has changed into a different one. Our life is designed in such a way that we have to learn various information as we grow up and we will learn by doing certain mistakes. Accident can amend your life in numerous manner: Realization of several mistakes, beginning of new sort of life, and lowers the level of quality of life.

After all, my father is an inspiring person to me, he loves me for who I am and what I do, but he wants me to be a successful man in the future life. He is trying to use his knowledge to make my knowledge better and make it easier on me with school. What he does for me I respect it fully. The things he does for me, as in like loving, caring, and helping my feature, I respect it so much. My father always tells me that “If you stay on task, keep safe, and have fun on something you like or even love, keep on going for it and you will be able to accomplish anything and will be able to do and it will be able to help your future family, your family now, people who you love, and others that need you when they need you. Do what you want to and be happy of what you have and you might get

The energy from your wrist is pushing downwards to help you. Rackets hitting the birdie. Birdies flying over the net on to the ground. This is my life and has impacted me a lot throughout my life. Badminton has been very important to me because it is good for your health and helps you stay fit, helps me make friends and also helped me find a hobby. While writing this essay, I have noticed that there is a lot of different types of things that helped me become who I am through badminton.
