Family

    In these critical times, family is important. Have you seen how many people go back to living with their parents? Sometimes the tasks of life become too overwhelming that financially it was smarter to move back home.
    My parents can get on my last nerve sometimes but I love them. They think the standard of life in Europe can be applied to the United States but it can't in my opinion. Test scores fully determine your high school and college admissions there in Europe. In the U.S., your admissions are determined by many factors: essays, grades, teacher recommendations, activites, etc. I argued for months with them how a teenager at the age of 16 can get their driver's license here but they believed the correct age was 18. You get the point, my parents and I don't see eye-to-eye on many things.
    But I will always know no matter how badly I screw up, they will be here for me. I don't hide anything from them. They motivate me to be the best person I can absolutely be and help me strive to be successful.
    Once I took a three hour trip to help my dad set up his laptop and his preferences he wanted on it. It's okay though because they are paiding for my college and helping me debt-free when I enter the work force. My parents and I do things for each other because we care about each other. I will always love them.
    My advice is to never let them how of your life. You should be grateful to have them and respect them. I try to but I usually forget to. Give them a call sometime and see how their lives are. Trust me, they care how you are doing to. So go out there and be a good son or daughter to them because you never know how much you will learn from them or be saved by them.
