My dad works so hard to make my life so easy as well as my mom, but in a different way. My life is different from those of almost everyone I know. I may not be completely spoiled but I have it really easy when it comes to money. My dad makes all the money in the house and somehow, we can all live so well. I'm never worried about money except when I spend a lot and that's only because I'm so traditionally Chinese. I started to see how little I actually have to worry about money because my dad works so goddamn hard everyday to make our lives so easy and wonderful. My mom at the same time is always working to make our lives comfortable. She cleans my room and does my laundry so that I can focus on my school work and see my friends. I'm so incredibly fortunate that for a while I had no idea what I could do to repay my parents. I was often feeling the pressure that I must make a lot of money in order to make it up to my parents as well as make a lot of money just for my family and I so that they will be proud of me for being so successful. But as I start to realize what my dream and passions are more and more, I had an epiphany today that the truest way to not take my parents for granted, to give back in return for everything they've ever done for me in their lives is to use everything I've got in me and follow my true passion to make the lives of others better. To help the less fortunate to make them as fortunate as me. To learn from what my mother and father have done for me and do the same for them. To not just pass on my wonderful life to others but to share it.
