This new era, a world full of various traditions, traits, cultures and beliefs, only few knew what the real value of the family is. As what I have noticed, the respect and the essence of a family is not well-practiced by today’s generation. Some learns how to respect elders but mostly don’t know how. They thought everybody’s standing is equal, fair and no one is superior. They forgot that elders are the boss and the youth are the workers.
In every family, there’s a father, mother and a child. The child should learn how to appreciate and respect whatever the decision of the father and mother is, but now it turns out that the child’s decision should be followed. They mocks if whatever they want won’t be given to them and they became rebellious. And these loving parents give everything for the happiness of their child. Don’t they know that everything in a family should be balanced? Everything should be under control according to their roles.
As a responsible child, you should learn how to respect, accept and learn what your parents are feeding you. We can’t blame children for being who they are right now, their role models are their parents, and everything the parents does, are the things the child do. In my case, after I graduate college and I became completely responsible and independent. I would never ever forget what my parents did for me to achieve this goal. After 10 years, I would still honor, value, accept, respect and listen to whatever they say and serve it as my inspiration. How could I ever forget the one’s who’s always been there for me when the world turns their back on me?
Words aren’t enough to show your gratitude to your parents. Sometimes, saying “Thank you” in front of them is what ever wanted to hear, but for me? The best thing that I could ever do to thank them is to have good grades, excel in academics, be faithful to God, be a good girl and be obedient to them. It may be very simple but with the aid of love and faith in you, nothing is impossible.
I may not sound sweet and true, but this is what I want to say “I love you Mom. I miss you Dad.”
