I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were 41 to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life. My parents always say, “ 42 hard and the world is yours.” They are never without a 43 word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.
My parents always 44 me to go to college. However, when I 45 at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they 46 stopped telling me they loved me and I could anything I wanted to. 47 , they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently 48 the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the 49 a better place to live in.
Every time I call home to tell them about a 50 I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or whichever 51 it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how 52 of me they are. I know there are college kids out there that have no one to call home when they an “A” on a project and I feel incredibly 53 to have my parents.
Don’t get me wrong: We’ve had our share of 54 . I was the angry teenager and they were the awful 55 that wouldn’t let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced（扎洞）.But somehow, we 56 to work through those issues. They never 57 loving in me or believing in me.
I 58 everything I am to my parents. Without their 59 love and encouragement, I wouldn’t believe I can change the world. My parents taught me to always 60 for what I believe in. So I’m working toward something really great and can only hope I continue to make them proud.
