Over the course of my life, I have been through a lot. I am only 19 and I have been through a lot of trials. Though going through those things weren't pleasant, I am happy to say that I was able to learn from the experiences. 

One thing I can say that I can I see differently is that family will always be around. When I was younger, my mother and father had a lot of marital issues. They were always fighting but they would always make up. For the longest time, I always told myself there's no way I could lose my father or mother if they decided to go their separate ways. That was something that I took for granted. I never thought I would ever have to go through time where I would lose of the people that raised me. Sure enough, my parents had a huge fallout. This one was the most drastic and forced my parents to get a divorce. Not only did my parents have spoiled relationship, but I did as well. My father and I had very ugly falling out and it cause a barrier to be built between us. My father I had never really had the best relationship before but this sealed the deal.

My point is this; is that we have to learn to cherish what we have. We don’t know what we truly have until it’s gone. We need to be thankful and stop being so ungrateful. There are people in this world that would’ve loved to have parents. Some have lost their parents to death or have never even met their parents. I learned from that point on to value everything that has been given to me. It’s even made me value my life more than I did before.
