Parenthood

illustration of parents and daughter

To begin with, I would like to describe my parents. My dad is an amazing man, and I wish all men were as good as him. He is a strong, helpful, patient man who is a born negotiator and fixes the problem between other people. My wonderful mom is careful about her family, a hard worker, really patient and loves goodness from others. From these qualities, you can imagine what lessons I learned from my parents. These are some of the best lessons of my life, and I carry them with me where ever I go. They taught me to be a strong woman, to be thankful, to learn what I can without stopping, to be flexible with life, to be as a spike of wheat. If the plant is full of wheat it will be curved down, but if it is empty, it will be standing upright. The best lesson was to do for others what I want others to do for me. I make sure I teach my children the way my parents taught me because I learned at the best school of life.
