Module 7: Elaborate
Make an essay that show love and respect to your parents and siblings. Minimum of
500 words.
Showing love and respect to my family and siblings is a bit hard for me. But I
know that I am not the only one who’s experiencing the same thing. I think the reason
why it is hard for me to express love and respect to my family and siblings, because of
our past and maybe because I didn’t grow up with them. I wasn’t able to feel or show
love and respect towards my family because it doesn’t exist in our home.
When I was a kid, I always saw my mama and papa fighting, hurting and
shouting at each other because of nonsense things. While me and my siblings are at
the corner of our house crying our eyes out. When I was living with them, I always get
sick and when I had a severe illness my grandma decided to take me with her because
she thinks that I am getting sick because of my parents. My Lola took good care of me,
as if she’s my real mother. I never felt incomplete, even if I do not live with my siblings
and parents.
As I grew older, the number of my age was increasing together with the
questions inside my mind. Questions that I kept asking myself, and I thought that none
of those would be answered. Every time I see a complete and happy family I can’t stop
myself from feeling envious. I know it is not good to envy others but I can’t help it. I am
now 20 years old but still craving for a mother’s and father’s love.
But despite those things, I am glad that the Lord helped me understand things
that I am confused with. I have a lot of questions that he is slowly answering. I am
thankful that the Lord made me stronger enough to conquer those challenges.
I gradually learned how to show love and respect to my parents and siblings. I
show them my love and respect through the simplest way I know. I am showing my
respect to my parents by studying hard and I make them as my inspiration in life. I
always go to their house to check if they're fine. I always ask permission from them
before doing something. I obey what they want, and I never talk rude to them about the
past.
I show my love to my parents not directly saying that I love them but I show it
through my actions. Whenever I cook food, I am making sure that I’ll give them. I am
always praying for their health and safety. I am striving my best to give them a good life
in the future. I show my love to my siblings by always telling them the right things that
they should do and the wrong things that they should not do. I tell them to study hard
because I want them to have a good future. I tell them to always obey our parents.
I know that they can feel my love and respect for them by those simple ways.
And I am very happy that despite those challenges we have encountered, it did not
hinder me to show love and respect to my family. I was still able to show them love and
respect in my own little and comfortable way. My family is what matters the most for me.
Even though we’re not a perfect one, I love them with all my heart. It is never too late for
us because I know that one day, I would be able to say how much I love and appreciate
them. I can’t wait for that day to come.
