10 Things I am thankful for (my parents)

In my last post I blogged about 10 things that I am thankful for, and the number 1 thing on the list was my wonderful parents. I am so happy to have them because in the world today I know that many of my peers have parents who have passed away or are incarcerated. Realizing this I learn to take nothing for granted. Even though my parents and I bump heads often at the end of the day I know that I can come to them for anything because they have my best interest at heart. I praise my parents for making sure that my sister and I maintain good grades throughout all our years in school. This shows that my parents really care about our education, and wants me to strive for the best. Once I made up my mind to attend college and major in Nursing, there were some people who tried to scare me saying that nursing is hard, or it takes a lot, and you will not be able to hang with friends on the weekend because you will be to busy studying. I then sat down with my mom who told me to not listen to what others say, and to see how it is for myself, and that's what I am doing. I am currently taking my prerequisites, and so far I can handle the things that come my way. If things start to get stressful then I know that I can pray in order have the strength to endure.
