Throughout my entire life, my parents have taught my sisters and I a lot of lessons. One that they will always be teaching us is dedication. They taught me that once I start something to never quit. Growing up I played most sports; baseball, basketball, soccer. I gave 100% every minute, or every inning I played. It was through the dedication my parents taught to me never give up no matter what the score was. This is what helped me to excel in sports and life.
Hardworking:
Over the years I have considered myself a good student. I have maintained very good grades ever since I was in elementary school. I have done this while working twenty hours a week since I six years old. I would rake in the spring and fall, and mow lawns in the summer. This is hard work, and I did it all while maintaining good grades. My father has worked two jobs most of his life and it has always been important to me to be like him.
Humble:
Growing up most people go through the sore loser stage. You eventually learn that nobody likes a sore loser and you grow out of it. You also learn that nobody likes a sore winner. Since I played sports growing up I learned this lesson fast. Seeing kids Gloat in the face of others made me realize that I did not want to be that kid. So whenever I experienced success I would nonchalantly congratulate others on their hard work.
Dependable:
Like I said before my parents have always past on lessons to me. One of them is everyone likes a dependable person. They taught me that five minutes early is on time. If I tell somebody that Im going to do something to follow through on it. I value most of the lessons my parents teach me.
Content:
My parents have always told me be thankful for what you have. I never understood what this meant until I realized that I was more fortunate than others. I had three meals a day when others struggled to find food. I got presents during Christmas while other parents could not afford to give their children gifts. After seeing how fortunate I was made me realize that I had advantages others did not, and I was not going to abuse them.
