I think I owe my parents some of the things I have accomplished in life, but that doesn’t
mean I live only for my parents. My parents have never been the ones to tell us that, “‘because
of me you have...”, which I am grateful for but there are people that hear that expression and
sometimes it doesn’t have to be the parents that will say that, but others that feel entitled to your
success. Going back to my parents, in school I would motivate myself for my parents and try
even harder for them, but that success was mine and I don’t owe them that. I like to say it
like this, “It is my life and I will live it not them”. If I was to only listen to them I
wouldn’t be happy, I do listen to their words full of wisdom, but only I will make that
decision because it is my life.
