I have always kept this in mind and I have learned to give back to my parents for all the sacrifices they have made just for me to give the best education they could afford. My mom would always joke around and tell me things like, “Work hard and suffer now, so you can live the rest of your life shopping harder.” She gives me something to look forward to in the future. Her zealous temperament and unfaltering persistency to complete her tasks motivates me to maximize my full capacity, as well. Giving importance to education is one of the embodied values she has instilled in me that I will be forever grateful…
My parents are always willing to teach their four children a lesson. Most of the time they only have to teach my brothers a lesson because my sister and I are angels! That statement may not be true, but in my mind it is. My parents also think you’re never too old to learn new lessons, even to this day. Whenever I do something stupid that results in me getting hurt, my dad always reminds me that “education is expensive”.…
I became fascinated in adolescent development after taking an entire class on it. The class taught me a lot of the explanations to why I felt the way I did throughout my own adolescents. Adolescents are at a point in life where the brain has developed fully emotionally, but rationally their brain is not established. So it does not matter how smart the adolescent is they are ruled by their emotions, this is why I want to be there to help them. I want to be a professional person outside of the home that adolescents can come to talk…
Both of my parents went to college and both of them also went on to get a post-graduate degree. To them a college education is a necessity to be successful in life. Neither one of them expects me to get into or go to Harvard or Yale, but they do expect me to go to a respectable college. Some teenagers often do not go to college because they must get a job to support their family. Thankfully my parents have always said that I do not need to get a job until after college. The academic and financial support my parents have provided me has cause me not to think of college as a unattainable dream, but almost as another step in my educational , similar to high school or middle school. My parent’s knowledge of the college and the admission process has taught what I need to do in order to put myself in a position to get into a respectful college. The advice and knowledge from my parents has taught me not to just worry about my grades because colleges do not like book worms. Colleges like kids who show they can manage many activities while still maintain a solid 4+ GPA. This attitude has been a positive for me because now I am in many extra-curricular activities including playing Varsity lacrosse, being on the Academic Bowl team, and playing two instruments. Without my parents I could most definitely see myself being a book worm, but thanks to them shaping the attitude that colleges look at more than just grades I have become more outgoing. My parents influence on my view n attitude of college has most definitely been a positive one, and thanks to them, so far, I have been very…
I have personally experienced many failures in my life, but learned from each one. My mom always told me “do your homework” and I would just agree motionless. Next thing you know, I would do poorly on a test. Then, I would have no excuse to tell her that “I didn’t study, or do my homework”. I learned, and in the hard way that it’s easier to do well, and that all I had to do was study. A more traumatic time in my life is when I had an experience with a car ‘fender bender’. The day I turned 16 I had got my license and was waiting to earn my G2. My parents always told me the rules, and to be careful while driving. However, I still replied with “yes I know, I will don’t worry”. The main rule I had to follow considering my parents purchased the car for me was that I had to pay for gas, half the insurance, and any damages to the vehicle.…

In conclusion, teenagers need freedom and support from their parents. Parents would develop a better relationship with their child if they let the child decide when they want to open up to them.

They make me feel intelligent and well-loved. I know that I am someone important to them.…

Parents are very important to their children's life.…
