HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS
(An Essay about Family)
Family values are deservedly praised. A well-functioning family
is amicrocosm of society as it should work. Many problems faced by
individuals had
their origin in unhealthy family life and I am not an exemption.
Families are like
fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts this quote may be the best
description
that I can transmit to my family. I cannot say that my family is
the most ideal but
I can conceitedly say that my parents worked hard for us to be
the person that
we are right now.
My family originated from San Sebastian and Sulangan
Catbalogan Samar. They are raised by their parents through hard
effort
because they are both came from an underprivileged family. This
may be seen
in the type of rearing they did to us. I have four other
siblingstwo older brothers
and two younger sister. Therefore, I am the middle child or
sometimes referred us
the troubled child. Because of my parents social and economic
background
the nature of upbringing that they possess are very conservative
and
authoritarian. My mother was the disciplinarian while my father
has the iron
hand. Because of my stubbornness, I am always the center of
penalty.
The peace and progress of a family depend upon its members.
If
the members are good, the family gets prestige, as my parents
always thought.
So, when my brothers graduated they also expected me to graduate
on time.
But because of my so-called happy-go-lucky persona I ended up
takinganother year because of so many back subjects. In that time,
I am not taking it
seriously may be because of my lack of maturity and
irresponsibility.
After I graduated from my college, my father was pressuring me
to
take up Law. Instead of doing what they want me to do, I
immediately apply for
work to be able to escape my father plans. While I was working,
I was able to
found my one true love. To make the story short, I got pregnant.
Again, my
parents were so disappointed. But then again, they accepted my
faith and
learn to trust me again.
What I am pointing in this essay is that, no matter how many
wrongyouve done to your parents, your parents will always be a
parent to you-- to
understand you, to console you and to love you. These obstacles
that I faced
significantly shaped the disposition that I have at this moment.
I learned to be
responsible regarding my actions and to be sensitive to the
feelings of others,
especially to my parents. I believed that parents should be
treated will enough
for they gave their whole life to their children. I also learned
to make my priorities
based on its consequence. Thus, friends will be there in terms
of needs but will

I could say that I am more of an agent of change for
restructuring society.
Each of us has the responsibility to change the world for its
advantage. If we will
promote cooperation and provide the students with proper
knowledge,
problems in the society will diminish.
By encouraging students to question current practices it will
unablethem to be physically and mentally aware of the things that
is
happening in their environment. It may not only promote
social
change but social order as well.
Through leading the world in creating a peaceful global
society,stressing and understand of other culture, you are creating
a more
harmonious global environment for all. It may also provide
consensus from different parts of the world.
