've learned that I still have a lot to learn. At the very tender age of 23 I am a parent, teacher, student and provider. All these things I am, but I still have a lot to learn. I use to think I knew more than my mom but I was really wrong. I was trying to grow up too fast, and I should have listen to my mother. I wanted to be grown. I wanted to be with my so call friends. I wanted to have a boyfriend and to hopefully get married. I had my whole life planed out.
When I was 15 years old I had my first job at Winn Dixie Market Place; I was a bagger. I thought I was on my way to move out my parents house my mother would say to me you still have a lot to learn. I used to think my mom was too strict. I wondered why she didn't want me to hang out with my friends. I didn't know I still had a lot to learn about my life. My mother would say bad association spoils useful habits. I was thinking to myself how are they bad association.Little did I know I still had a lot to learn. My mom was right I always thought my mom was hard, on me but she just wanted the best for me in my life. Who was I kidding? I don't know more than my mom.
The bible says with gray hair comes wisdom. Now here I am 23 years old I do not want my children to not make the same mistakes I've made. So that's why I have to be a responsible parent. I will listen to my kids when they have questions. So I know being a good parent I have to set my kids on the right path. Im a teacher to my children. I want to teach them all about life. Although Im still a student learning stuff everyday. The more I learn the more wiser I become. Being a provider for your family can be hard sometimes, because all the responsiblities falls on you.I think in life you will always have a lot to learn you will never know everything the most important lesson in life is to honor your mother and father. |
