I have found that bearing down and working hard for that individual and carrying out what needs to be done to meet his expectations is always a better solution. Respect is the number one achievement a man wants in life. What is a better feeling than to be respected by someone when one walks into a room? When respect is shown to an individual, it is more likely to be shown back: That is a lesson that I have learned thanks to my wonderful parents. .
One of the most important lessons I have learned throughout my seventeen years is the overall value of family time. Spending time with my family has caused me to have some of the best memories of my life. (Br. Str. 1) Last July, my family attended a Chicago Cubs night game when they were playing the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field. It was a great game and great time for us to talk and bond as a family: It was one of the most memorable times of my life. Back in 2004 when we went to Puerto Rico as a family to visit my grandparents who lived there, we even took my cousin Kyle to experience the adventure. I will never forget the memory of going to a different beach every day and enjoying the amazing time with my family. (Br. Str. 2) Running with uncontained excitement, Tony jumped into a divot in the ocean only to end up with a broken leg: I know he will never forget that and I sure have not. All the Thanksgivings and Christmases I have spent with my amazing family just talking around the dinner table about our respective lives will always be cherished and remembered. (Br. Str. 3) Talking, laughing, and reminiscing, family get-togethers are times that I enjoy immensely. I love spending time with my family and value it greatly; therefore, I hope I pass that value down when I become a parent.
"If you think you have it bad, just look down the street and you will see someone who has it worse." (Br. Str. 4) Eyes tearing up, finger pointing, those are the wise words that come from my mother every time that an occurrence does not follow "the plan" like I think it should in my life or when things happen that were not supposed to in my eyes.
