Best thing that i never had
Best Thing that I Never Had As we know, life is not always a garden with flowers. We often have in our hands some roses but that turn out to be with a lot of thorns in it. This is the interesting part of it and we are faced with hard tasks from time to time. The way we deal with these challenges defines who we are. Family is the closest union among people and it is the base column of our lives. Family is a holy thing and the starting point of success or failure in life. Our parents are the guidance that we follow to have a decent life. They are the key factors in giving us wings to fly independently, but can also have a negative impact. Why do I say this? Let me tell you a story that indeed has marked my life. One morning would change me forever, and my parents were the leading actors in this drama.
. It was early in the morning when I was awaken from the shouts my father was making; he was screaming to my mom and was asking her to leave. I felt a stomach ache like every morning but that day it was stronger. I went to my mom to ask her if we can watch cartoons like we usually did, before she went to work, but that day her eyes were covered in tears. I jumped into her hug and asked:” Mom do you have a stomach ache too?” Even though she was crying, with her angel face, she smiled to me, and she said “No my pumpkin pie, I just have to go at work earlier today, I’m not able to watch cartoons with you, but I promise that we will watch them together another time.” In that moment, my father came from garden and when he saw us he yelled to her “You are still here? Get off of our lives we don’t want you here,” I remember that I started to cry and said to my father” Dad I’m scared, you are screaming to loud.” He took me in his hand and replied to me “Oh my sweet-heart, don’t be afraid, dad will always be here to protect you.’’ Since my mother left the house, I lost my dad too. He promised me that he would care for me but he did not. He forgot me, and he started to spend time in night clubs. Every night, I waited until late night for him to come, and to wish me sweet dreams, but he did not come. While I was waiting for him, I realized that maybe God does not love me, because I was a little girl without parents. I asked myself many times “What did I do wrong?” That made me think that I’m a bad person, and as result I started to lose confidence. I felt lonely and afraid. Now, for me everything was the same, in other words nothing was worth it. Every day I was growing up, but I hoped for a better life. I started to cook for myself, clean and take care of my house, until the Center for Social Service came at my house and sent me in the orphanage. Orphanage was a place when I met a lot of children with different stories in life, they were homeless too. The actions of my parents destroyed my life, they ruined my dreams. They made me think that God hates me. They were not able to solve their own problems, and they found it easier to divorce than to try finding a solution that was not going to harm us so much. I challenged my life and learned that children are orphans are victims of their parent choices. This is why I did not have the chance to enjoy the love of my parents, but will this influence me? Would I be a good parent for my children even though I grew up without my own, I managed to get back on my feet and give a direction to my life. I wish from the bottom of my heart that no child experiences what I had to go through. My advice to parents everywhere is to love their life and to try to fix it when something is broke, not throw it away. The causes will be great so we will have to watch out what choices we make in life because we are not the only ones that are affected.

    Growing up, family played a significant role in my life. I can truly say that I am who I am today because of them. I was taught that for as long as I live the right way, not hurting anyone along the way, and being thankful for what I have, I will be happy. There were times that I have made the wrong choices, but for the most part, I didn’t forget my parent’s teachings. For instance, getting in trouble with the law for fighting or being disruptive, I eventually grew out of it and learned that maybe violence is not the way to do things. For the most part, having a decent conversation or as simple as talking about the problem will eventually solve the misunderstanding and everything can end well.…

    “Never change who you are to please people”, “There is nothing you can’t do” and “We are proud of you no matter what” are three very common phrases used within a family. Parents especially use these (among many others) to teach their children to be comfortable with who they are so that it is easier for them to find their place in the world. Even when we are merely a thought, our parents begin planning our lives; what we should get out of it and what they need to do to help us reach our full potential. When we don’t understand what is happening, the fact that so much effort is put into us can be a frightening prospect; however our family consists of the people that will always be there. Our siblings are generally the people we trust more than anyone. We turn to them for assistance, advice and guidance and feel their absence both physically and emotionally. They are the ones we aspire to be like and arguably have the most impact on where we belong. Our family cannot be changed or replaced. You cannot give up on them because through the hardships and struggles, as well as the triumphs and successes, you will always be linked to them. There is no bond greater than that of a family and by accepting those around you, you accept yourself and build your identity from that unconditional love and unbreakable trust.…

    My family defines who I am as a person because they are my backbone and the reason why I strive to do my best. My mother’s family has sheltered me ever since I was born they were there for me when I had nobody. Generally I was unwanted by my other side of family, but my mother’s family never neglected me, they have made my life very easy and guided. In my understanding the reason why I said they are my backbone is because as a child( Baby) I had nothing and I was seriously ill but they never abounded me. My grandparents also went far distance into the village to find a cure to my illness and my aunties & uncle used their dorm room bed sheet as a cloth for me. This is why I appreciate everything in my life because I was a nobody as a baby.…

    My story begins at just the age of 8, we just had moved to a South Texas town, Kountze, this town had about 2,000 to 3,000 people residing in it. My parents had decided this was the perfect place to raise me and my brother who is two years older than me. I didn’t understand much then, but from what I can remember the only problems I had was what flavor of ice cream I wanted when my father took me to the ice cream shop and which Disney channel show was on. But then, as I thought things were just fine, On one summer night I heard noises in my parents’ bedroom and I overheard my favorite hero crying in the bedroom and saying he needed to tell us something terrible had happened.

    “What image comes to your mind when you see the word family? People’s mental images vary greatly, based in large part on their individual life experiences” (pg.23). A family holds a million laughs, secrets, memories, and experiences that cannot be duplicated by any other group of people. Every member contributes a different aspect to the group through the journey of life. All families go through very different struggles and obstacles, and work together to handle what they have been given. Differences among families are what make our lives so unique and colorful.…

    Families assist in your development over the lifespan. No matter what the situation is, your family is always there to support you through your journey. Though, just because they stick by your side, does not mean it is in a positive manner. It may mean they are just doing their job, following the rest of society to create an image of the perfect family, which may never exist. Though in order to maintain a healthy family, you must respect their beliefs and values.…

    Remember when you were little and your mom would say, “Everything will be okay; it is not the end of the world,” and when she said those words everything would be okay? This is an example of how in families there is usually someone who holds the power, and that power held helps hold the family together with strength. When parents hold power, they can help their children grow, learn, and stay hopeful. When there isn’t someone in power, children can grow apart and become distant. I believe that parents play an important role in their child’s development. It is evident in day-to-day life that every family has someone in power; however, if they do not, these families can break.…

    Every family has its fair share of problems whether it be cultural or generational. Many families could just solve their problems and be fine with it, but many families cannot cope with work pressures, financial inconsistencies, divorce, maybe even the children of the household. But there is one thing that a family compromises of, and that is hope. In today’s modern era, family has a completely different meaning to it than past generations. Family can consist of anyone, blood related or not. Family now, is not the typical husband, wife and children, it much more different than that. Even if family does not carry the same meaning as it did in the past, that does not mean values are not carried throughout…

    A family is made up of people who care and love one another. A positive childhood and family tradition is what keeps a person connected to their family. No family is perfect and they will go through things, but it’s the love that keeps them together. Family traditions and cultural contribute to an individual self- identity because people who have knowledge of their family history are well-adjusted. Some people may disagree that family history is not shared and valued among individual family members. However, family history is shared and valued among individual family members because it’s what makes the individual who they are as a person which inhibits the person-identity.…

    My first reason why family is important to my life is because they have always been there for me. Many of my peers succeed at certain sports or even various classes like English or Calculus. Although, I did struggle with my other activities and curriculum classes, family has always been there. Throughout middle school and high school, I competed with my friend for captain of the soccer team. I didn’t beat him until eighth grade when my hard work finally paid off. Because of this, I now realize how dedication and persistence can help someone achieve one’s goals. If I never decided to join the soccer team and compete for first captain, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to challenge myself and gain the skills and characteristics that would benefit me throughout the rest of my life, if it had not been for my family pushing me to excel.…
