How much do you love your parents?

I know this question is very common to you my dear classmates. Some would answer me, “I love my
parents to infinity and beyond”, some would say “My love for them cannot be expressed of any
numbers”, and others would say “My love for them are priceless and endless” and many others.
However, did you really show how much you love them? Did they really felt how much you care for
them?

Parents as we all know have the great impact and hold the huge part of our lives. In fact, they already
care and love us even we were still embryos inside our mothers’ womb. They have also special ways of
giving us comfort and give us life without even experiencing hardships as they did.

I like to think of myself as a seed and my parents as the sun and water. A seed that is dependent for I
didn’t have the capacity yet to live without any of the two. Once I have planted I need sun and water to
grow as they are my primary needs aside from air to survive. Also I can’t bear fruits which are my
achievements now without them.

Why can’t we hug our parents as what we can to our friends? Why we can’t say “I love you” personally
rather than just texting it to them? Why can’t we spare time with them more than the time we spent
with our bestfriends? Why can’t we listen to their lectures but when it comes gossips we’re always ready
to lend our ears? Why it is difficult for us to express our love to them?

Sometimes it is hard for us to obey our mother or father but when our friends asked us to meet them at
Robinsons or Sm, one call away then we went directly to the venue without even hesitating or having a
second thought. Aren’t we aware of what our parents might felt? That the person whom they treasure
the most, the person who’s the reason why they always have to wake up early in the morning just to
prepare everything for school, the person who’s the reason why they are working so hard just to
provide the needs and wants of their child but chose to disobey them.

I remember a story that I have read before, I don’t know if you’ve already heard about ‘The Gift’.

“A young man was getting ready to graduate from university. For a long time he had admired a beautiful
sports car in a dealers showroom and knowing his father could well afford it, he told his Dad that was all
he wanted.

As his graduation day approached the young man began looking for signs that his father had bought the
car. Finally on the morning of his graduation, his father told him into his study. His father told him how
he was proud he was to have such a fine son and he told him how much he loved him.

He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man
opened the box and found a lovely leather bound Bible with young man’s name embossed in gold.

Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said, ‘With all your money you give me a Bible?’ and then
stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in his own business. He had a beautiful home
and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and thought perhaps he should go to him as
he had not spoken to him since that graduation day.

Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him that his father had passed away
and had willed all his possessions to his son so he needed to come home and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father’s house sadness and regret filled his heart. He began sorting through his
father’s papers and saw the still new Bible just as he had left it years ago.

With tears in his eyes he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully
underlined a verse…Mathew 7:11, “And if ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more shall your heavenly Father which is in Heaven give to those who ask him?”

As he read these words a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name
and on the tag was the date of his graduation and words paid in full.”

We never know the love of a parent until we became parents ourselves as what Henry Ward Beecher
put into. It is the role of the parents to take care of us and sustain what we need but it is our obligation
to study hard and go to school because it is for our own good.

“A good daily routine makes it easier to stay organized, which can reduce your stress and save time”

Being a teenager is not an easy one, when you enter this stage stress will be always at your side. You
really don’t have any option but to get rid of the stressors that may come. Comfort of the people who
are near to you would not be enough instead fight those by taking care of yourself and learn how to stay
healthy. Following a consistent good daily routine will help you get the most out of the day.

Wake up early in the morning like for example set your alarm clock at exactly 4:50am try to do it every
morning and trust me if you’ll do it for a month then it will become already your routine. If your body
practiced doing that it will not be hard for you anymore to come to school at early time.
you.
