My dad has taught and encouraged me to try new things. He encouraged me to go out for cross country my eighth and i ended up liking it alot. He also encouraged me to try some foods that i've never had. They ended up being really tasty. What makes him so encouraging is that he doesn't force me to do it. He also kinda cons me in with his corny word choice. This is one reason why my…
Parents, family members and friends influence our thoughts and beliefs for better. As we develop our values and ethics it is through past experiences whether it is positive or negative experiences that help mold us as adults. I developed ethics and values when I was young. I was taught to know right from wrong at a young age. I was punished if I lied or did something wrong and both parents has high standards and morals that they wanted me to abide by. They taught me that cheating, stealing and lying would not be tolerated. I would be held responsible if I did any of these unethical behaviors. They taught me to be truthful, humble, and treat others how you wanted to be…
What has your family taught you that is important to your concept of the world and yourself?…
Parents strive to teach their children about possible future mistakes in a lame attempt of protecting the child from having to experience the mistakes himself, but truthfully, experience presents the best lessons. You can warn a child to not touch a hot stove and he may listen at first. However, his curiosity and naturally rebellious tendencies will tempt him until he experiences first-hand the dangers of the stove. He will not have the lesson engrained in his mind until he feels the scorching heat on his own fingertips. This lesson holds…
One of many important roles that my mom plays in my life is that of a teacher and counselor. She has taught, and still teaches, about life and anything right and wrong in the world. An example would be that no matter how complicated something can get, never give up and walk away after the first try. Dale Carnegie, a famous writer and lecturer, once said; “Most of the things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” (Walter 1) Another would be just because you see someone do something that seems bad, but does not get in trouble, do not…
“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person 's character lies in their own hands” - Anne Frank. (Frank, 2012)…
My parents are very close to me. They have enough knowledge and awareness from people around us. My father advised me every school year that I needed to keep enough distance from others. My father said to me, “Abdulelah, never go out with bad friends. They can affect you in a small matter of time. I know you’re smart. You will know the right thing from the wrong thing.” I knew that my father trusted me because what he had taught me. My mother told me, ”Abdul, focus on your schoolwork. Do not give up no matter what around you tells you. If you work hard today; tomorrow will…
The education I have received from my parents has been fundamental in my personal development. “I will give my best and I will not accept less than that” that was how my father made me start my day. Since I was little my parents erased the words “ I can not” and “I do not know” from my vocabulary. They taught me that I had to face my responsibilities and problems no matter what, for this reason, I was astonished when we moved to Texas two years ago and they told me that I could not be in 11th grade.…
All through my life, my parents are always telling me what to do and not to do. For example, they are telling me to do my homework cause it's the only way that I will get anywhere in life. My 7th and 8th grade year i didn't focus much on my school, i though it wasn't all that important and i would only have to take it seriously till i got high school. But all that changed when avid students from rogers came and explained I need to do my homework and go to college and why i need an education.…
They all taught me to work for what I wanted, and to treat others how I would in turn wish to be treated. My parents have been nothing but loving, supportive, and patient of me. Even when I think I know everything already, there are the best parents I could have hoped for. Much like my family, my house also played a huge role in how I was raised. I lived in a two story house in accompanied with a living room, a kitchen, computer…
He told me that he rather have me be knowledgeable, then to be completely clueless and possibly get hurt. I loved learning about new tools, I felt good knowing that I would know all of this that my other sisters’ wouldn’t. By the time my dad fixed up my uncle’s house, I already knew how to correctly use and carry tools, such as the hammer, screw driver, and even a nail gun. I also knew why studs were always 16”-on-center in the wall frames in a house. My dad and I shared this passion of building and will always cherish the memories we share when we do projects…
My parents have always made me understand the importance of being held accountable for my actions. They made sure I was aware that most actions cause a reaction and at times the reaction can be negative. I have always understood that it is okay for me to peacefully argue my own opinion but not everyone will agree with my views. I think this is what makes America great.…
Trivial decisions such as staying up late, skipping breakfast, and procrastinating have had small, but monumental impacts on my decision-making. Through staying up late, I learned that I need enough sleep to wake up in the morning. By skipping breakfast, I realized I would be hungry throughout the day and unable to concentrate. Procrastination has taught me that exceptional work requires both time and effort. My parents have taught me more lessons than anyone simply by telling me not to do these things. Experience is not gained solely by reading books, attending school, or talking to parents; it is by experiencing first-hand that we become better than our mistakes. Being taught to own up to my mistakes and learn from them rather than sulk about them in regret is the most important lesson I have been taught. My parents taught me to respect my elders because they are wiser than me. My grandparents are wise because they have experienced more than both my parents and I. Pondering over what went wrong is a more productive use of time than complaining about what could have been. Improvement should be the first priority after learning of a…
My dad taught me the most important lesson: how to be an independent female. I still remember the day that my father sat next to me and said, "Hey sweetie, the most important thing to help you become successful is to have an education, it won’t be a walk in the park sweetie, but in the end it will be more then worth it. Of course, I already knew he was going to say that, for it was nothing new.…
Parents have a great deal of responsibility. They are their children's first teacher. It is from parents, children can learn their culture, social skills, life skills, and get exposed to many experiences. Parents must be willing to take on the challenge of exposing their children…
