My mother and father are the people that I look up to. They are my role models/inspiration/idols/superstars, well you get the idea. They both came from a very humble background. They worked hard and overcame many obstacles to reach where they are now. They did not have the privilege to study in an air-conditioned room during the school days or even when they were receiving their tertiary education. Yet, they made it through school and finally graduated from university. Every time I feel bummed about studying, I would think of what they had to go through to get a degree and I would realize how lucky I am to have a nice room, delicious food, good moral support from my family and so many other things that they never had during their time.
They also taught me to respect my mentors because teachers are the ones that shape us into who we are. I know that they are amazing teachers. I love mathematics because of mother. She makes solving numbers so easy! My dad is superb in our national language, Bahasa Malaysia. I love teaching too because of them.
Many times, I have hurt both of them and yet, they have never given up on me or intentionally hurt me back. On a number of occasions, I have snapped at them but never have they stopped talking to me. I know for a fact that I was never an easy child to handle but, that never stopped them from loving me and I am so eternally grateful to them for that kind of love. They have always been there for me, throughout good times and difficult times.
My parents are my guardian angels. If I am ever to be a parent someday, I hope I would be just as amazing as they are. Thank you mom and dad for everything! :-)
