Assignment 22 - Grace Barnett

 I have grown up with two amazing parents who have loved me unconditionally. Now I know that this is not unusual, but the way my parents raised me is what I think makes me unique. My parents are polar opposites. My father is a lawyer who favors punctuality and commitment, he has the same routine every day and loves to plan ahead. My mother, on the other hand, is an art teacher who loves adventure, goes wherever the wind takes her, loves to try new things, and is most likely going to be late for her own funeral (sorry mom.) But with such different parents, I have been able to see things through multiple perspectives and they push me to try new things and to be adventurous. They've taught me that hard work is crucial to succeeding in life but to enjoy things and find that balance between work and play. My parents are the main reason why I am so self-motivated because they inspire me to do great things and they recognize that I have it in me to be successful. I owe everything I am to my parents.
