Work ethic
My parents have always had a work ehtic that has always surprised me. My dad would work and even take me to work at times on saturdays at 5am. We would get home and he would work even more by either doing something to his home, cars, and yard. And as I grew older I hated it because he would start getting me involved into it and I would get annoyed. I understood it as I grew older at the same time and I get that work ethic from him and I have now grown to appreciate his hard work -
Learning respect and Work ethic
My grandpa, and family have always taught me manners and being respecful and things like that. My grandpa has a very strong work ethic. He works to jobs and still manages time to go to the gym. He has always been a person where he doesnt like to be lazy and stay home. He has also taught me to not let obstacles in you life interfere with what you are trying to achieve. It has taught me and showed me to always work hard. My family has always tauight me to show respect and have manners. -
Childhood
During my childhood I was raise, grew and learned a lot from all my family. As I grew up my family was goofy, funny but always had morals and manners. An example is like holding the door for people behind you, saying please and thank you, and things like that. Everyone would always be making fun of eachother for laughs and just for jokes. As I grew up it kind of helped me not take things to seriously and be respecful and always have principles, morals and manners. -
Videos games helping me
I have always been into video games and enjoyed how you can play at the same time with friends, family and others that are playing. My dad has bought me a psp,wii, xbox 360 and I grew up with my uncles having those type of electronics/ consoles. Video games have helped me keep my mind of things and improve my mental state. -
Realization
Realization comes by growing and by living and learning. There has been times where I seen how people lived, ate, and how they had to live everyday and it would make me think and be a lot more grateful that I have everything that I NEED. As you grow and realize that the world is not fair and that theirs a lot needed to be a more peaceful world, you become more grateful for what you have. -

Experiences
I have experienced and have people talk to me about their life and the problems they go through, and when I hear the situations I just think back and feel sorry for them because i am blessed for what I have. It really humbles me and makes me think I need to start being a lot more happy and grateful for the little things in my life that others might think its something big for them. -
uncles and aunts making me better in Life
My family has always taught me what was right and wrong. They have told me what they have been through and how their actions weren't the best. It had taught me how theirs always consequences for your actions. They made me better in life by being there for me and showing me how I'm not alone. It taught me to always be there for people.
