Looking back on all the situations that I’ve gone through in my life makes me realize that everything I’ve went through in my teenage years has made me become the person I am today. In fact, the main reason I am the way I am is because of my parents, them providing and being there for me is something I will always be grateful for. Having to be dependent on my parents makes me realize how hard life is gonna be when I decide to go out in the world by myself. They give me a bed to sleep on, food to eat, and a house to live in. However, the times I’ve had to be independent are the true reasons I am the woman I am today. The time I felt the most independent was when I was driving home one night from being out with my bestfriends Griselda and Emmanuel. …show more content…
My phone died right after I had talked to my mom but I didn’t think it was a big deal until I heard a loud thumping noise coming from the back of my car. At that point I knew I had a flat tire and was going to end up changing it on my own, I guess you can say I was thankful my dad taught me how to jumpstart a car and change tires. Last but not least, was the day I held my mother in my arms, a day that changed my life for the good and made me realize that not every bad situation has a bad outcome. My family had been going through a rough time, my mom was stressed and wasn’t eating the way she should have been. My mother is diabetic and suffers from hypoglycemia so it’s important for her to eat unless her blood sugar will drop. That day I couldn’t watch out for her because I had to work the whole
This story reminds me greatly of my own relationship with my parents, having had to grow up while still having to abide by their demands, whether it be taking on additional challenges, playing sports, or having to leave whatever I once had behind to move to a different state. I now realise that my parents have only been trying to do their best for me, and I now appreciate their actions far more than I once did, and have been trying to grow
All I wanted was moments with my mom when I was nine; I did not get it. What about age ten, eleven, and twelve? My whole childhood was snatched out from under me, and I had to grow up way to fast. Don’t worry, I did not blame you. I blamed myself until I was fifteen. It was my fault my mother tried to drown my sisters and me. I saw signs and clues. I could tell she was not acting herself, but I said nothing. I didn’t go and ask another grownup for help. I put my sisters’ lives in danger, because I didn’t protect them.
Due to my parents’ divorce, an unfortunate rift has been created in regards to my family life. However, bad things can always become good, and I have been able to turn this into a good thing. I have learned to care for myself, and at a young age, this is becoming rarer and rarer these days. I am able to cook, clean, do laundry, shop, and provide for myself. Many days have been spent by myself with a home to take care of, giving me many responsibilities that the average teenager would not need to worry about. This has prepared me for college life as well as beyond in the eventual real world I will find myself in. This fierce independence has shaped everything, from my personality to my daily life and
One time I forgot about Mothers day till my Dad reminded me. We where very busy that month with horse shows and other stuff so it just slipped my mind. That Sunday morning I was getting ready to go to church and dad walked in and asked what I got mom for mothers day and had completely forgotten. He said that he could tell mom that he was going to go to the office to get some papers but acutually he would be going to wally world to get some flowers and a card. He came back with two dozen pink roses and one of those gigantic cards. Mom loved it and I was so glad that dad
My next reason i am thankful is for you buying me food and putting a roof over my head and just getting me whatever i want. when i get older i will do the same for my siblings and if i have kids i know i don't tell you how thankful i am of show you but i am so thankful. Also i know my other siblings are thankful too and they give you hard times also but they love what you do for them and appreciate you for yourself. Thank you for buying me clothes, feeding me, and putting a roof over my head.
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
From an early age, I felt as if my parents were never there for me, and I had to raise myself. I used to have difficulty in interpreting whether my unconventional upbringing should be appreciated or dreaded, but ultimately it has benefitted me in ways I have just recently realized. Without the intensified emphasis on my self-reliant upbringing, I would not be the sophisticated and independent young adult I am today.
My life is so similar to the girls, I could go on and on but I’m at a point in my life where the past is the past and my future is not dictating by it. I went far down the wrong path but I have completely recovered. Although a mother’s love should be unconditional,
A special day to me was the one where my mom, Grace, Lane, and me went to Magic Springs together. It was very fun, we rode a lot of rides, went to a concert, and had fun on the way back.
The next day was my birthday; I couldn’t help but think this was going to be the worst birthday ever. I woke up alone, but my mom had everything planned out so that I would have a good day. Later that night I went back up to the hospital with my brothers, and my mom had a cake for me and presents. She made my birthday great regardless of the circumstances.
When I was younger my mom forgot about me. I thought to myself how cruel was the world, how can your mom forget about their own child. I also thought my mom don’t really care about me. I never though at an early age I would became independence. Many night thousand of question came to my head, who is going to help me with my homework? How I'm going to survive? I don’t know how to do my own hair? Who’s going to the meeting today after school? Their was to many obstacle on my life because every morning my single mother wake up at 7:00 AM to go the work and must of the time I don’t really see her because she came really late to home. When I wake up every morning I learn something new, one day I learn how to do my hair, the other
It is shocking to have a person join a varsity softball team with no experience or knowledge of the game. It is Junior year and my uncle encourages me to tryout for the team by buying me a glove. To start off, sports usually have a time to get in shape and it is name conditioning; however, in this scenario, the coach does not do conditioning and goes straight into tryouts instead. Tryouts had affect my health and mind severely, it was the first time that I ever put my body in so much movement. I remember thinking I was wasting my time since there were so many girls with experience.
People from different cultures and civilizations, all around the world believe in some kind of a holy presence. Where did this belief in a holy being come from? There must exist a being that is causing this belief. This certain being is I, your God.
I figured for my paper I would describe how crappy my life has been up to this point. I believe my parents should have never been parents, but i'm kinda glad they did because of my sisters. If it weren't for them than they definitely should not have became parents. There have been countless times that we have had to be adults or grow up fast because they couldn’t. Parents should be there for their kids no matter what through life not when they just achieve something or win at something. We shouldn’t be put in danger because of our parents.
It was my birthday. Two things that I never thought would happen. One was me getting a chocolate lab I named Hazel,the second was losing a loved one.These two thing happened on one day that I will love and hate for the rest of my life.
