Living without parents
Growing without Parents Sometimes I don't understand why people take their parents for granted. I see that not everybody appreciate what parents do in order to get what you want or what are your needs. I just don’t understand why? When I was a kid, I didn’t have the chance nor the opportunity of having my parents ask me what I want or what I need, I didn't even have the chance of knowing parents. I did not had that feeling of being loved, that feeling that if something happens to me, there is someone that will come and pick you up. When I was one month old, I was left with my grandparents; I didn't have that opportunity like most of the kids, that when they opened their eyes for the first time, the first person they see is her mom. I wish that I had that moment in life, that the first person I get to see when I open my eyes would be my mom. I only had the opportunity to see an old lady, my grandmother who had me in her arms. That moment I felt loved and I thought that it was going to be like that forever. I was wrong. I wish that my parents could showed me the love and care that other parents try to give to their kids, but sometimes I see that their kids don't appreciate it. My grandmother along with my grandfather, were the ones in charge of me. They raise me and I was a member of that family. During my child hood my grandparents gave me and showed me love and attention that was necessary, but not that love and attention that I needed. I needed to feel loved more than that love they were giving me. I usually see how other kids play along with their parents, have fun, they eat ice cream together and whenever the little kid fall his mom was their cleaning his tears and hugging him, that is the love I needed. Whenever I wanted to play I didn't had anybody to play with, my grandparents they were always busy. If I wanted ice cream, guess what, I used to run and leave everything that I was doing and wait in front of the house and stand and see how the ice cream

    I’ve been with my mom for about five years going through emotional moments and times, but I still see her wake up everyday, feed us, and go to work. I see my dad come home some days at 12am, get about 4 hours of sleep, and wake up for his next job. I try to acknowledge these sacrifices and not be a bad child to compensate. I am sure this is not enough. I see all the work my parents are doing, knowing all they ask for is for us to be successful in life. I will make sure of that and more, getting their retirement earlier than they think. But first things first,…

    I always thought my parents were a strong couple, that their love would prosper against all. But I guess my dad found out my mother wasn’t the same either because my parents decided to get a divorce. I’m not sure exactly when but I slowly started to develop depression, I couldn’t take it anymore. I quit my job, school was a far off thought, I just gave up. I regret how much I let it take over my life because now it’s hurting me more than I would have ever thought, my future. I now know no matter what, I have to keep pushing my limits instead of letting them push me. I am determined to make necessary steps to improve every aspect of my…

    The older I grow, the more I realize that my mother has always done so much for me. Her love was patient and forgiving in times when I pushed her to her limits as a child. I love my mother, Hester, with all my heart. I remember as a child, being fascinated with the letter A on her bosom. When I was young I was confused about the situation between my parents. I lashed out in anger towards my mother my throwing prickly burrs at her bosom. In doing so, I added to her already thriving pain and guilt. As I grew up and moved away, my mother decided to continue to live in her tiny cottage in Massachusetts. I sent her gifts from England so she can live in luxury as well. I loved her, and she knew she would always be welcome to come live with me in England at any point throughout her life.…

My father was more than proud of the person who I was becoming, and in that moment I realized these certain changes that were occurring through my life.

    The night I found out about my dad, I couldn’t understand why this was happening to me. At first, all I could think of were moments that he wouldn’t be able to witness. From seeing me graduate college to walking me down the aisle, it felt like I was being hit with a tsunami as I realized that soon, I would have to walk the path of life without my dad. How was it fair that I would have my dad ripped from my life after only 15, 16, or 17 years? I spent so much time feeling bad for myself that I didn’t see just how lucky I really was. While there are people in this world who have never known their parents, I’ve been blessed to know my father for 15 years. Despite the fact that many people in this world take their parents for granted,…

    My mother and sisters tried to tell me that parenthood would change my life and that it would be hard, but I didn’t know how hard or how my life was about to change. When everybody at the grocery store was staring at me because my son was throwing one of temper tantrums or I had been taking care of a feverish, vomiting baby all night long it was hard to remember that being a parent was a gift. But then I’d see a sleeping, beautiful baby or my son would draw a picture of a giant, smiling, stick-figure mom with a red crayon heart, and then I would remember. I have a…

    Grandmas, the ones that cook for you and give you candy are the ones that love you for who you are and let you get away with things they wouldn't let their own kids get away with. Some grandmas can't even walk when they get up in age, but then there are some like mine who at the age of 83 are doing things other 83 years olds don't and shouldn't be doing. Most people would expect an 83 year old grandma to be knitting, light cooking, playing bingo and slowly walking her way to church. Not my grandmother, you can find her climbing on ladders, fixing fans, constantly moving, driving big pick-up trucks, all while looking like she is going to the social club.…

    Day by day, I used to stay by her side. She would disconnect the ‘tubes’ from her machine to give me just enough room to stay on the bed with her. Until that day after my 6th birthday that I wasn’t able to wake her up no matter how hard I tried…. Everyone around me except my father was crying, and was convincing me that my mother’s in a better place and is looking down at us now. Of course, I didn’t really have a clue on what was going on, my mother was a beautiful, beautiful woman. My life would be so much different if I get to grow up beside her. My grades might’ve been better if she at least had a chance to help me out with my school works or perhaps if my father only pays attention to me as a child as much a he…

    It was a hot summer night in August. I could not sleep; I feared that the upcoming baby would steal my mom’s love from me. It is normal for children to desire their parents’ love and attention, especially for a kid like me who grew up with a single mom. At the age of four, my mom was my whole world. I thought she felt the same way until she announced that she would have a baby. I would not have accepted the fact that my mom could divide her love between me and my sister. However, when I observed my mom holding a tiny crying baby in her arms, witnessing her happy tears gave me the strength to take care of my little sister. My little sister’s existence not only taught me how to be caring and selfless to my family, but it also sparked the compassion in me to care for others…

    “Moving out for the first time is one of the biggest steps you’ll take in life. It not only represents your freedom, independence and a sense of growing up, it also tests your ability to make it on your own.” (Kahler, 2007) Whether to live with your parents, or move out on your own is one of today’s biggest decisions. There are many advantages and disadvantages with either situation, but most young people may not realize that when time comes to make a decision. There are many responsibilities and roles for these individuals in either situation. Teenagers should think about everything before he or she moves out on his or her own. There are many reasons for living with a parent or living alone.…
