The Best Things in Life
Katelin
McDilda
Have you ever thought about what you would do with your life if your
parents were not always there for you?
Most kids haven’t. They have just taken things for granted their whole
life. Parents provide us with
money, lessons, and love. No, one
loves you as much as you’re parents do.
Foremost your parents provide you with money. If you added up all the money your
parents spend on you $100.00 would not seem like that much money any more. During the holidays you are used to getting
a lot of presents and it’s quite fun for you to receive all of those
presents, although that’s a lot of money out of your parents’ pockets just to
make you happy. If you do after school activities it cost money to get you
involved in them.
In addition to the money
your parents spend on you they also spend a lot of their time teaching you the
lessons of life. One rule your
parents have most likely taught you is the golden rule, treat others the way you
want to be treated. You may not
realize it but one method your parents teach you lessons and rules is
punishment. When that happens your
parents are trying to help you mature to a good person. You may not enjoy the process of
learning lessons and rules, but you will thank your parents
later.
Above all your parents show you love and compassion. Parents will always love you no matter
what mistakes you make, because they know everyone makes mistakes at one point in his
or her life. Buying you things and
punishing you are only two of the ways parent express their love towards toward
you. Don’t forget your parents are two of the few people in the world who won’t
judge you by appearance, but by what really counts, your
attitude.
All in all your parents are two of the best things in life, and they
express their love to you in many ways, teach you lessons, and reward you with
gifts. So, don’t forget to say
thank you for all those things!
