Why you are thankful for having such great parents…
During weekends my friends end up sitting in my room for hours. The stuff we talk about includes family and childhood experiences. When we think back to our childhood we notice that we as students in a school like Woodstock should be extremely thankful towards our parents. If not for my parents I would have never had a feel of how it is to be in a boarding school. I am truly thankful to my parents for throwing out to me, such a great opportunity. I now can step into the bigger world and truly give myself a pat on the back, and say to myself that I have made my parents proud and that I have made a difference in my life and have become a independent being.
Thinking critically and analytically seems to be in my blood. Every choice that I make is observed and thought clearly. I no longer have to be dependent on my mother to make choices for me. Although I am not considered a major, I know that once I turn eighteen I wouldn’t find things too hard. Even if there are challenges thrown at me I would know the right way to deal with them.
Getting back to those weekends that are spent in my room with music in the background another thought seems to pop up in my head. One of my close friends hates to think of her past as she was beaten too many times to know that she was doing something wrong. My parents till date believes that a child doesn’t learn when he or she is beaten up instead, they should be told. My parents always believed that one would learn better if they are verbally told rather than using violence.
Its good to know that you appreciate what your parents have done for you. Analyzing this post from a college point of view, I see that this reveals a lot about your personality. Good Job. I however feel that you should have started with your roommates story at first as that would be a good anecdote to build your ethos.
