Le Family or Le Me?

Well, it seems like my classmates are choosing the answer that is socially acceptable: To put your family before yourself. I, feeling a bit rebellious, have this urge to say the opposite: Put my desires first. But, that would just be ridiculous of myself because my family will always and forever come first.

Left to Right- Father, Sister, Me, Mother (roughly 3years ago)

My family means the world to me. Especially, my immediate family. My parents built me into the person I am today. They taught me moral values and how to be the best person that I could be. And, my parents calmly went through the roller coaster ride I gave them during my early teen years. They always stood by me the whole way through while giving me their wonderful advice. Speaking of which, their advice is godly! They completely understand what I am going through in these peculiar stages of my teen years because they themselves went through the same thing, so they just know exactly what to tell me. I couldn't thank them enough.  

Left to Right- My Grandfather, Me, Sister, My Grandmother (roughly 3years ago)

My Grandfather suffered a stroke nearly 2 years ago. And, to see him, in a matter of days, go from his everyday self to be imprisoned within the rails of a hospital bed and to have the left side of his body completely paralyzed put me into a bit of a depression because him and I have this special bond that I dearly cherish. He is my rock. He always understood me even though we speak different languages. He always went out of his way to do something nice for me. I couldn't love anybody else as much as I love my Grandfather. 

My Grandfather suffering a stroke made me realize a golden rule that I was too ignorant to notice prior. Always cherish your family. They will always stand by you and be your guidance and inspiration to the path in life in which you desire to take.
