Parents: They Are, God's Blessing?

Parents serve as role models for their children and guide them through their early years of development. Children model everything a parent does and incorporate what they see into their own lives. Parents are responsible for teaching their children the behaviors and skills necessary to interact in their everyday lives. Parents have a huge influence on their child’s social skills. Negative examples can be detrimental to a child’s development.

Although my life is not like those of a typical teenager’s, I am and will be forever grateful for all that my parents had provided me. For providing me with love and care, for raising me to become a disciplined individual, for providing me with the inspiration that I need when I fail at times, and most importantly, for finding the courage to send me off to college even without the full financial ability to. I am proud of my international background, of my parents, of my heritage and myself for finding the courage

My parent have alway said to me, never to give up on what I'm trying to accomplish or the goal that I'm trying to reach even though if it seems impossible. That they will alway support me on anything that I want to do, maybe not financially wise because they will help the best they can. My whole life things were never just handed to me, I worked for them and some people tell me that my parents should do more for me that I shouldn't have to work so hard because I'm just 17 years old that I'll have the rest of my life to work, but I think differently because it made me realize life isn't just fun and games, it helped me mature faster then most kids, it also gave me life skills that will help me out in college and life after college.

Ever since I was a young child, my parents always told me to try my best in school, they always told me this for the reason that they never had the opportunity to have a good job because they never finished school. This event is shaping me to care a lot regarding my education. In addition to that, another event that has shaped me to become the person I am today is that since my parents don’t have good paying jobs they have to work hard to take care of me and my siblings this event has caused me to become a hard working person and to seize all opportunities to live a good life because I don’t want to struggle like my parents.

My parents have worked and sacrificed countless of hours so that I may receive an education and several of opportunities they were never given the chance to reach in their high school careers. Also like my parents who have done so much for me, my God has blessed me with a healthy body and several of talents. I'm so honored and privileged to have received so much blessings from the people who mean the most to me, it is as if that saying "thank you" isn't enough to repay their love for me. With these blessings and talents I will bring honor to my God and my parents by using their given gifts to be the best person I can be by demonstrating positive character, active levels of leadership in daily behavior,

For eighteen years now my parents have influenced me to do my best in academics and extracurricular activities. Both of my parents have gone to college and both have had successful careers. My dad was a highly recognized Police Chief for Waukesha County and is now on the

My parents raised me, their names are Mari and Martin Carrillo, I also have one older his name is Joshua Carrillo. My parents are the reason I am who I am today, They sacrificed so much for me and for my brother, my dad would work all day every day and he would get out of work pretty late. My mom would work during the day and get out at 4 and pick up me and my brother, take us home feed us and then go back to work for another 2 hours and be home by 6. They've always gave up and sacrificed so much for me and my brother to make sure we had food on the table and everything we needed for school and at home.

Thanks to my parents pushing me to do my best, I have an outstanding work ethic in school and on the field. Because of this effort and work put in, I have been a captain on basketball, football, and baseball teams. Not only were my parents important factors but, so were my coaches and teachers. Coaches and teachers have pushed me to do the best I could and told me when I did things wrong, but praised me when I did them right. They helped to slowly build my character, leadership, scholarship and dedication to everything and anything that I do so that when I had to do something it was done the right way instead of halfway.

My parents have worked from sunrise to sunset for 22 years now. I have been throught most of it with them. I am aware that I am, where I am because of my parents hard work and dedication to make their dream a reality for my siblings and I to receve a higher eductaion. My parents have tought me very well that

My parents are my heroes, and they inspire me everyday. Migrating to the US a year before I was born, they traded a comfortable life in Vietnam to work long hours at low wages in America in order to give their children unimaginable opportunities. Growing up, I was not aware of the sacrifices my parents made, but knowledge of them now gives me all the reason to be forever grateful for them and everything they make possible. I can never fully repay my parents, but I can do them right by doing the best with all I have got.

I’m Alannah Olson, and I’m a senior at Forest City High School. My parents are Kim Olson and Marion Olson. They’ve been two of the most supporting parents I could ask for. I’ve been active in multiple activities throughout my high school and community. I stay busy and do good for the people around me. My parents have been extremely supportive in the decisions I’ve made throughout high school and are always encouraging me that I can do anything, if I set my mind to it. Because of them, I have become the person I am today that likes to be successful and make my parents proud.

My parents are number one on my list of 10 important things. Because they give me a place to stay and food to eat. My parents come and support me at my games and come watch my horse stuff even when they don't want too. They care about my education and check my grades often even though I don't like it. My parents know how much I want to go to college and get a good job so they do their best to keep me on track in school. My mom takes me to horse shows and my dad does when my mom can't or he comes with. During the summer they take me around to different shows with the horses to practice for bigger shows. I remember once it was the day before the fair and we were getting ready. We had just taken care of my horse and I put her away. I don't know that where my horse was standing was a hornet's nest. Since my horse was stomping the hornets started

They are the only ones I have unconditional support and are my reason to succeed in life. My parents gave up so much for us at a young age and didn’t get to enjoy nor acquire a higher education due to financial problems, and I am utterly proud of how far they’ve come and all their successes. They came from nothing to living the life they desired when they were young, having to sacrifice absolutely everything just for their children. For that reason I want to succeed in everything possible to make them proud and just let them enjoy the life they deserve and that I will gladly provide one day

One reason why my parents will always be my biggest motivators is because they know what 's right from wrong and they know life. They tell me and always pushed me to do my best no matter what. They told me I 'm going to have a lot of distraction and a lot of things I do not want to go through but, its going to happen, thats just life. In the beginning of Elementary school, I

My life was very structured and it drove me to want something different, but when I had to face my consequences, I soon came to want exactly what I was running from. Ironically enough, I am beginning to see what they were trying to do as parents. It would be nice to finally make them proud to be an influence in my life, and I will do my best to make that happen.
