Parents

Student Workshop Essay Revised 

Parents are the most wonderful persons in the world.

They help us in all aspects of our lives. They are always behind our backs. They comfort us when we are lonely. They also encourage us to go on whenever we fail.

They diligently persevere for our family. They make ends meet just to send us to school. They devote their time and effort—blood, sweat and tears—just for us to continue our studies. For them, education is the only wealth they can give us.

It is a big responsibility to be a parent. They have to bear the duties for a family. There are times when they cannot make ends meet. They find it difficult to fulfill our needs—they feel obliged to give us food and provide for us. But if they see that we also persevere in our studies, for them, it is enough. Because in the end they would want us to finish our studies.  Only by then can we be worthy of all their hard work.

Nothing more can inspire them more than the sight of us holding our hard-earned diplomas.

Parents are gifts from God. For one, there is no parent who could not accept us back to their homes after we have run away and realized we are wrong.

At times, though, we feel that parents are the best naggers in the world. Because they find faults in everything we do and tell us repeatedly about it without even asking us why. Perhaps it’s only normal because all of them would want the good for us.

Our very good advisers, our number-one supporters, parents are our inspiration who continually love us despite ourselves.

For all of these, we can just be thankful for what they do for us. All we could do, in turn, is to appreciate what they do to us. And the best we could also do is to love them. Doing so is more than paying back for all their hardships. 

In the end, our success would be their greatest achievement.
