In reality, I experienced a lot in my childhood. I suffered from many diseases, which brought a lot of troubles for my parents, but they managed to cure me and did their best to let me enjoy the bright sunshine as others. However, what I got from it was not the happiness from their care, but the sigh of my miserable life. How foolish I was﹗
While I was studying in the Junior High School, what impressed me most was the quarrel with my mother. At that moment, my father worked in a remote place for my tuition and expenses of the whole family. I was in a boarding school so that I could only go home over the weekend. What a precious opportunity I had﹗Nevertheless, I lost it. After I returned home, I still quarreled with my mother. I complained that she did wrong to me and could not understand my feeling—actually I had never spoken it, I just keep a diary instead. I hated her preference for my brother. Later on, on my grade 2, I seemed to have realized I had done something wrong in the past. I was very regretful, and decided to change it. As a result, I promised myself that I must study hard to live up to their expectations. I made the best of my spare time and spent it on my study. At last, I entered into a Jiaoling Senior High School.
During my three years in the school, I really studied diligently, and I had never forgotten those words of encouragement my parents gave me. Whenever I was frustrated, I could always get the comfort from it even though I couldn’t escape the misfortune. One day, my mother had a car accident. The moment I heard the news, my head spun. She had been in hospital for a long time but I couldn’t see her and even look after her since my father didn’t allow me to do so. I blamed myself all the time ever since. I wished I had replaced her to bear the pain. Shortly the new session was coming, I threw into a dilemma. In the end, I made up my mind to quit the school. my father urged me to go to school but I didn’t agree. The result was that my father and my head teacher managed to persuade me to go on with my study. From then on, I understood the real meaning of my life. I treasured every chance, sparing no effort to my study. My mother was treated for a period of time and finally she recovered. A stone hanging up in my he
art was put down. With my efforts to master more knowledge, I was admitted to go to the university. On hearing the exciting news, my parents smiled happily.
In a word, my life was full of ups and downs, but it did not let me down. Now, even though I can’t see my parents because of the long distance, I insist on calling my parents up twice a week, chatting with them. Without them, my future would be in darkness. On Thanksgiving Day, I want to say “I love you” to them in a loud voice. I also thank all the parents for the great efforts they make. In the meantime, I wish them be happy.
We are more than we can express to our parents, who literally shaped us from an exciting idea to mature independence. First, let us give thanks to them for having the commitment to dedicate their lives to raise children. Putting aside one’s own selfish pleasures and conveniences for the sake of another is the hallmark of a loving person. To those with children, let us give thanks to you, where deferred gratification is a daily challenge. Next, let us give thanks to parents for protecting children. Kids are vulnerable, and keeping them free from harm allows them to develop in a context of support and security. Kids without this safety often are thrust prematurely into the adult world and later feel saddened that they missed the opportunities of growing up without conflict.
Finally, let us give thanks for parents as teachers. Children are born as fairly undifferentiated personalities, and parents, over the years, transmit literally millions of messages which eventually shape children’s personalities. While conflict or self-absorbed messages can have a negative effect on a child’s developing personality, messages based upon parent’s reflected values can teach positive habits commonly associated with personal happiness and success. This teaching is continuous throughout childhood and probably throughout life. The more thoughtful the message, the more prepared the child is to confront the developmental challenges of life.
