When I was young I used to think my parents were too hard on me. They made me work. They made me learn. They made me correct my mistakes.
Now that I'm older, I realize that they were teaching me what it means to work hard. Not only by making me do it, but modeling it for me as well. I can't thank them enough for teaching me how to work to get the things you want in life. It was a lesson I didn't know I needed at the time, but now I am so thankful I got it from them.
