Being young is hard. We have this stress upon us, this…certain pressure. We are looked down upon We are supposed to be this person that others “want” us to be. The real question is When is the last time someone asked “Who do you want to be?” Now, parents are different Of course they want you to be who you want to be, But deep down, they have expectations and goals set for us So what happens when we are not successful? What happens when we’re not who they wanted us to become? They hold you They hold you when no one else will They don’t care at that moment Whether you failed the biggest test of your life Or you made the hugest mistake ever They just hold you They take away all of your worries They take away all of your pain The next thing you know is that everything is okay You still have a family that cares about you… No matter what They make it easier to stand back up when you have fallen They help you as you take the next step In the end, when you have reached the finish line, The first thing you should do is look for them Give them a smile or a heads up Just to let them know you remembered You remembered that they were the reason you have made it this far Sure, you did most of the running and you made it to the end But, how did you get there? Do you recall rising on your own? Do you remember as you took the next step? Parents are the reason we are who we are today I thank God every day for mine Do you?
