My Idea of a good life

Even though there is such an amazing amount of things to be thankful for, many people will lead their lives not taking the time to consider how lucky they are. Usually, people who are in a remarkably favorable state will tend to overlook all of the marvelous things they should be thankful for; however, this should not be the case. Sometimes, one should take the time to carefully reflect upon their exceedingly fortuitous position in life. It is not difficult to find things to be thankful for; for example, a person’s parents would have likely played an important role in that person’s life and deserve to be thanked. There are other major things to be thankful for, such as education, friends, and family members.

But if I were them I wouldn’t say no beca... ... middle of paper ... ...eed it. They will end up being successful if they have the best of both worlds in my opinion because they won’t get tired because they have very strict parents or have parents let them do anything they want. One day those parents that let their children do anything they want regret they ever did. Basically be on top of everything your children do during their lives but also don’t ruin their fun when they are having it. Help them understand why they are being pushed so hard to accomplish certain things.

The most common and long-term place to find this support is within their family. This is why I have decided to become a teacher at the pre-school/ head start level. I feel that it is very important, during this age, for the teacher to involve the parents in the learning process as much as possible. As I continue to develop as a professional, I would like to pursue a master’s degree and eventually become the director of an integrated pre-school/ head start program. With this position, I would be able to develop programs to help the families learn skills needed to help themselves which will, in turn, help the child.

I want to give myself the opportunity to become a teacher, and help students to grow academically and emotionally to become successful in society. That is why it is so important for me to become a teacher at the elementary school level. I think that if smaller children learn in a very positive and enthusiastic way, they will learn more easily and will be more open to different learning tasks in the classroom. I think that a teacher can also help all students to obtain very high self-esteem, growth and integrity. A teacher can become, in certain ways, like a parent and most importantly, a friend.

“ You need to study hard in school and you will have a good future ahead” my mom said. My parents always think that education is an important thing to have, and they want me to have these to do better in the future. They didn 't have a chance like me to go to school, and now they have to work hard to raise a family. They didn’t want me to make bad mistake as they did because college or school is within reach for me to attend. I want to make them proud of me that I went to college and become an adult because they raise me and their hard work will be thankful.

They can tell by the performance and behavior. As we know, performance and behavior are important in a classroom. “Family involvement helps children get ready to enter school, promotes their school success, and prepares youth for college” (Harvard Family Research Project, p.1, 2006). Preparing your child is important. Working with your child is important.

As a parent, you are your child’s number one fan, parents have to be there to support the child not be against them. It is not pushing your child away by trying to make them believe in the same things as the parent and not being too strict. Making mistakes is part of figuring out how to be a parent. So don’t worry everyone makes mistakes, just correct the mistakes before it harms the

Which I find funny because they are always saying I was a kid once too but then they just seem to forget what it feel like because they are too busy being a parent. I think thats one of the biggest reasons that they don’t understand, if they had a kids perspective i truly believe that they would handle a lot of things differently. Some parents don’t care about trying to understand they just try to use their children to make their lives better even at the cost of their children's happiness. While some parents do know a lot, in cases like they are asking you to do something dangerous, if they want you to do something that goes against what you believe, and if they don’t understand the situation. Obviously you should not listen to your parents if they are telling you to do something that is dangerous or something that could harm you because they clearly don’t have your best interests in mind if they are asking you to do that.

I eventually came to my own senses and decided for myself that all my years of being in school, planning for my future, long hours of hard work and perseverance shouldn’t go to waste. I shouldn’t waste my own intelligence and give up on what’s important. For me, a lower class civilian, the American dream is very much alive and achievable. And it guarantees a better life for me in the future. I decided to go to college because although I knew I should continue my education, I never realized how important it was for my future and well-being to have that knowledge and use it to better use.

Plus it can be fun to see where your ancestors came from. Similar to be independent, being in a single parent faimly teaches you to not be a quitter. You’ve seen one of your parents survive being a single parent so you know that you could too. The children who come from single parent households are generally stronger emotionally allowing them to not be typical quitters. However this is not always the case so, you should not go around labeling people quitters.
