My Parents – The People I Admire The Most

When I asked myself who has had the most substantial influence on me, the most apparent answer would be my parents. It took me about thirty years to understand that their influence has shaped me to become who I am today. My mother being a housewife, she has always been looking after us well. She is the kindest mother who always explained and helped us to do homeworks in our childhood. She has been supporting, worrying, believing in us, teaching and being just a good friend in any situation. She taught us how to be kind, polite and respect others.

The perfections that stand out most incisively in my mother’s character are her dedication and self-devotion. The strength of her principles is obvious in the way in which she raised seven kids with seven different characters; she has had difficulties in cooking, feeding, washing, looking after my ill grandmother and helping my father in his business.

The strength of her principles is obvious in the way in which she raised seven kids with seven different characters; she has had difficulties in cooking, washing, looking after ill grandmother and helping my father in his business. Nevertheless, my mother has never complained about the sacrifices, which she had to help and bring up these seven kids. I admire her for taking care of the well being of the whole family and always being there for us whenever we needed her.

Moreover, the backbone of the family is my father. I had been thinking that I was ready and I knew everything, but understood that I didn’t know that much. I needed extra force and guidance to make some major decisions and find the right path in my life. Thus, it was my father, who believed in my ability to achieve what I really wanted. He saw that I never give up and he always insisted that I become a professional one day. I wasn’t there, however, I felt myself closer and closer to that day, just like when you are getting closer to the top of the mountain, and can still smell the cold fresh air on your way from far away. Nonetheless, I have never regretted following his numerous advice as they worked for me all the time. Furthermore, he is a hardworking and passionate person who also taught me to always keep discipline no matter what type of work I do. I completely adore him as he has been trying his best to satisfy all our wishes but sometimes shows the strictness when it is needed.

To sum up, I believe that any child will be well educated and become the strongest character when he/she brought up in the family where a mother is the heart of the family and father is the backbone of the family.
