The best advise ever

The opinions of our parents and friends or our ethics can also make our view different. I’m from a “cage-free” family which means that my parents are not strict, and they gave me a lot space to develop myself. But it doesn't mean that they don't teach me things. Of course I have common sense like I know what is right to do and what is wrong, I believe that common sense I have is from my parents. I am influenced deeply by how my parents look at things. For example, many people want to have a degree from a famous school even they don't like their majors. It’s important for them to earn a degree and make good amount money in the future even they won’t like their jobs. But for me, what I like to do is more important. I’d rather doing something that I like even I won’t make a lot money. I don't care if my major is hard to find a job or it’s hard to earn a degree, I will still give it a try with a little chance. This kind of risking spirit is defiantly from my dad. Because he's businessman and he always have to take certain risks. He told me that job is job but career is different, you have to like what you're doing for your career otherwise you will not be happy. He also said that I am young and it’s important that I give myself a chance. with

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.

I stepped off the bus and to my surprise, my mom was not there. I looked around and spotted my brother Paul waiting for me. He told me my mother was in the hospital with my oldest brother, Jason, who had just been in a car accident which left him with a broken neck, shoulder and forearm. The experience of his recovery inspired me to look at life differently. I believe everything happens for a reason, I spend more time with my family and I look up to my brother.

“Develop the self so that before every decree God will ascertain you: What is your wish”. The lines my father always quoted to my mom, until he passed away when I was just three. Given the family conditions that time no one has ever thought of me completing even school. It was my mom’s determination that kept our hope alive.

From a young age until now I have been very independent in my decision making and thankfully with the support of my parents they allow me to make choices everyday and learn from them whether there be a good consequence or a bad one. After stepping

When I was 12 years old I lost my dad. After him being in prison my whole life his life was taken. During my grievance period I did some things that might not have been in my best of interest. Sooner than later it all came to an end. It was then that I realized that everything happens for a reason and it started to motivate me to do better.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and I was really nervous for the meeting. I had a lot of anxiety as to who would show up but I had to keep on reminding myself that I am doing this for me. As I walked in, a nice man waited

As clique as it may be, my parents are my two biggest teachers. I won’t go to the extent to say that all I’ve learned is from them, but I will admit that they have heavily impacted my life with their teachings. I think that the best teachings that they have shown me, were ones that they unknowingly taught me. For example, my mother has taught me how to be strong and handle any situation that approaches and

I had never really been a good listener always doing the OPPOSITE of what my parents said and they alway said i would regret it one day,

Whenever something bad happened, i tried to stay positive. I never thought about negative, I looked forward to things like school because I can see my friends or going to church because i felt grown up going up for communion.. That was until I found out my grandma had to go to the hospital to battle lung cancer. I thought that everything was going to be fine, until I woke up one night to overhear my mother crying in the room next to mine. The walk across the dark hallway felt eerie, I knew on the other side came bad news, but I still went. As I enter a chill went down my back at the sight of my mother crying on the opposite side of the room. I ask her what's wrong, what she then told me changed my life forever. I never expected it. She made me happy, she gave the entire family joy, she didn't deserve it, but it happened. My grandma just lost the fight against lung cancer. I go back to my room in disbelief. Looking back at that moment I think of the line “Please don't let my soul drown in luxury.” from “Luxury” by Jon Bellion. The song shows that if you only focus on the good things in life, then you can't cope with the reality of life. Similarly to the way I focused on the positives in life and when loss came around, I couldn't deal with

I wondered if yesterday was going to be the last time I would see him again. Because if they take something out that they shouldn't have then he could die.I was hoping today was not going to be a measurable day. I was praying his surgery was going to turn out good today. That's all I wanted today.

I learned two lessons that I will always remember. One was to always stay close by your parents no matter what, because when they die you will somehow miss them and at that moment you will forgive them for everything they did to you that negatively affected you in a certain way.

Have you ever look at someone and assumed they play a sport or they’re an athlete? Well that’s what 90% of people do when they look at me. Pretty judgmental and bold but there’s not much that I can really do about it because well... they aren’t wrong. I am an athlete, but I don’t just play a sport I live a lifestyle.

I thought my whole life was going great and I believed nothing could ever change that until my mom told me some news that I would have died not to hear because it broke my heart. I got picked up early from school and went home. and I walked into my house and there were people with blank faces and my mom crying in the corner. Then, my mom told me the awful news that no one never wanted to hear. After the news, I started to wonder why God did this, but I knew it was for a reason and I knew he had a plan for me, that’s also my law of life is that God has a plan for everyone.

Throughout this whole experience I realized how lucky I am to be alive today and how lucky I am to still have my family with me and to still be able to see water without bringing up tragic memories. Overall I just realized how grateful I am to have everything that I
