In the beginning of my life, my parents were there for me all the way. They have taught me how to respect people and myself. Self-respect is one of the most important things you will learn in life. Our tradition, religion, and culture are also big factors in our lives, because it makes us who we are. Such as the oriental tradition, it is a unique culture and requires a lot of respect for people. My parents have also taught me a valuable lesson in work. They try very hard to make a living and I would like to help them out at times but I can't, because I have school. Right now they work from 9am to 11pm everyday except Sundays, I think those are rough hours and I try as hard as I can to make them happy. Even if they come home in a bad mood, I still understand. They have also taught me other things such as riding a bike and I still use it for transportation at times, even though bikes aren't around anymore.
The midyears of my life until now, I have always looked up to my brothers in several of ways. While growing up with them, I learned many things, especially what's right from wrong. In their teen years they were rebellious and while they got older, they regret their mistakes they did and have matured. While I'm still in my teen years, I have learned from their mistakes and continue on with my life. They have also taught me the other things that are out there other then work, and what everyone else has taught me. They showed me the terrible people that roam around this world and the bad things they do. This has taught me how to be very careful in life and watch whom I associate with. They are always there for me, giving me advise over many things, even if they were harsh.
Finally, the third group is my friends. The only thing hard about friends are finding your true friends and separating them with your bad friends. Your true friends are like your sister and brothers; they are always there for you when your down and they will teach you valuable lessons in life. They are there when you need someone to talk to and support your thoughts. They will not only teach you about life but they also teach you academically with your schoolwork. They even get you hooked into extracurricular activities such as a sport. Everything your parents or siblings couldn't do in life, your friends will. A thing to remember is friends come and go through life but the ones that mean the most will always be remembered. So always tell them how you feel before it's too late.
As you have read, my parents, brothers, and my friends are the people I love. As I've grown older, I have learned that nothing will replace the people that mean so much to you and while you get older, you will continue to meet new people that care. In the beginning of life, my parents were the first people that I loved because they have done so much already. Then while getting older, my brothers have taught me about life and what goes around, and my true friends I cant even put to words, they just "complete" me.
