Recommended: The impact of time management on

Mistakes have the potential to change people’s life. I make mistakes, so does everyone! Neither those mistakes are good or bad. No one is born without knowing everything. Education, family and time management are the three mistakes I have learned. They are considered to be environmentally friendly and harness natural processes. They help to negate the effects of certain forms of dangers. They became the lessons of my life. As a teenager, I do not want to study. I am stubborn and lazy. I hate to wake up so early every morning. It bothers me a lot. I never get enough sleep. Homework, assignments, projects have become piles of mountains. I often thought about suicide myself. I try to kill myself several times, but I could not succeed. I always complain to my parents, “Why I should go to school? It costs you enormous amount of budgets. It is useless. Teachers only teach the same lessons again and again. It is boring. I often see you came home exhausted. I want to help you, mom. Mom and dad, ‘I want to quit studying, can I?’ I want to find a job to help you.” Yeah, I was wrong. Everything would be awful if I quit. However, I am very thankful to my parents who never give up on my education. I know it costs a huge amount of money, but it is worthwhile. My parents keep begging me to keep going. They keep giving me gifts as rewards to keep me motivated. They always fulfill my wishes. I never understand why they do that to me. Until one Saturday morning, when I step up on the stage getting my high school diploma, I realize how important it is for my parents. I never know how valuable education is until I see them crying. I know I was wrong. I never thought that a single certificate holds a lot of meanings. I cry so badly. I could not stop... ... middle of paper ... ...ore than gold does. My future would be dark if I do not start now! I have been planning what I am going to do for my future. By the age of 35, I would have accomplished my dreams. I wonder what my life would be without my parents. I wonder what my life would be if I choose my path. Thank you supporting me. Thank you for sparing mercy on me on behalf of my unacceptable actions. Without your passion, I would have died a long time ago. I must confess that it is hard to live without you. I do not know what to say. I do not know where to start. I promise you, daddy. I will show the world how great our family is. I will sing with pride. You have made me become stronger. You decide to hold the pain for me. Now, it is my turn. You have taught me how valuable education is. You have taught me how valuable family is. You have taught me how valuable time is. Thank you, daddy!

    I feared I wouldn’t be able to uphold my family’s standards. All the work given to me from my five core gifted classes and the stress started accumulating. My life was spiraling right before my eyes. I lost control of the steering wheel and ran myself right into a ditch; a ditch, more like a bottomless pit of scum. I thought I was strong enough to hold on for the ride but apparently I wasn’t. I reluctantly handed over the wheel to my parents and let them guide me to where I needed to be. Eventually, tenth grade rolled around and I put myself back together. I was broken glass taped together trying to refurbish myself. At this point I just had to make it through high school. At the end of tenth grade, I aced every class I had taken from band to chemistry. Eleventh grade creeped around the corner and the anxiety started to build up again. I wanted more for myself. I was no longer satisfied with being every other person in Hialeah Gardens High School. My options were to either get into dual enrollment or finish high school all together. Dual enrollment was ruled out when my test scores were not at the new passing score they had recently made. There were two months left of school and it was until then that I decided

    My story began on a cool summer’s night twenty short years ago. From my earliest memory, I recall my father’s disdain for pursuing education. “Quit school and get a job” was his motto. My mother, in contrast, valued education, but she would never put pressure on anyone: a sixty-five was passing, and there was no motivation to do better. As a child, my uncle was my major role-model. He was a living example of how one could strive for greatness with a proper education and hard work. At this tender age of seven, I knew little about how I would achieve my goals, but I knew that education and hard work were going to be valuable. However, all of my youthful fantasies for broader horizons vanished like smoke when school began.

    My parents applauded my academic success, but hardly knew the price I paid for it. I vividly remember one night when my mother couldn't fall asleep. She kept going to bed and getting up again. Every -, time I heard her get up, I'd turn off my light so she wouldn't catch me still awake. By 5 o'clock that morning, I was so sleepy that I didn't hear her footsteps as she shuffled down the hallway. When she saw the light under my door, she came in and demanded to know why I wasn't sleeping.

    Everyone, at some point in their life, has made a mistake. Sometimes we get lucky and only falter a little, making it through the problem relatively intact. Other times, we mess up a lot and have to fix what was damaged over a long period of time. However, the same is true for most, if not all cases—those who make the mistake learn from it. Often times, our failures teach us valuable lessons that we only gained because of the experience we gathered after messing up. I have personally achieved a wealth of knowledge and experience just from all of my own little mishaps, and a few major ones.

  • The Story Of My Life Essay

    It was on a Friday morning at 4:30 A.M. that happiness and joy filled the hearts of both my parents. I was born on November 29, 1996 at Broward General Hospital in Fort Lauderdale Florida. My parents had five children, and among the five children that they had, I was the third (or middle) child from them. It started off as two boys, then I came along as the first girl, after it was another boy, then finally, another baby girl; so total was three boys and two girls. The way that my parents lived and treated each other was the same as if any other married couple that loved each other so much. They’ve gone through a lot to get to where they are now today, but they made it and along the way had us five children. They have been really strong with each other which made them only have the five of us and no other step children. My mom is a great cook and enjoy cooking for us; this is probably where my passion for culinary comes from. My dad is an amazing tailor, he is very good at making our clothes, and my passion for fashion probably came from him. My dad is also a teacher, one of the best math teacher I know, he is passionate about his job and his family is the center of his universe.
