Ever since I was a young kid, my parents would always tell me to never forget how important family is. To always remember that even if all else fails and you feel as though you’re all alone, your family will always be there for you. Now, as a young kid I took this saying for granted. Of course family is one of the most important aspects of life, who could ever think otherwise? Now that I’ve grown and have experienced more of what this world has to offer to me it seems as though my family told me that saying at a young age for a reason, almost to instill it within my being and everyday way of life. Because I have lived my entire life making my family a priority it is effortless for me to do so today. But the more people I meet, the more I realize that a strong, unified family isn’t as common as my young self had once imagined it to be. Rather, it is a blessing to have a family that is as close as I’d like to believe my family and I to be. They are one of my greatest motivations as they push me to always strive for greatness in anything that I do. I strive to not only succeed for myself, but more importantly the people who got me to where I am right now. The greatest factor in my success has come from my family and I can only repay them by showing them that all their hard work and dedication into me was to help me succeed like no other. I hope to display this success as a great student these next four years and that this hard work will lead to a life of prosperity, happiness, and love.
Family being the number one priority is something we both have in common, so I feel you, man. It’s great to have someone or a group of someone to fall back to at the end of the day. The only ones I trust to always be there for me are the members of my family, and I think that’s the same for you to. Keep working hard and make your family proud man.
Family is at the peak of my totem pole and is truly an invaluable blessing. It is heart warming to read with what gratitude and reverence you approach your blessing. With no doubt you will make them proud, and you won’t stop there either. While you want to repay your family for their efforts and support, I want you to always stay true to yourself and acknowledge that your own success couldn’t have been done without your personal efforts and aptitude. Keep up the great work, nevertheless, don’t merely do it to earn what you deem your family deserves, pursue what your heart deserves and yearns for as well!
