the end...

This has been a great class and a great summer, thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. With this class and all my experiences I will hopefully be prepared for parenting and marriage when the time comes. I find that along with your lectures and websites finding websites on my own help with my understanding of the topics discussed in the class. (http://parentingteens.about.com/od/parentingtroubledteens/Parenting_Troubled_Teens.htm) This website is a perfect example. Again thank you for everything!

Last week

So without getting into too many details, last week was a rough week for me. It was rough for me but it was also rough for my parents because they were right there along with me. This brought me to realize what it is to be a parents, there is a lot more than what I originally thought. I screwed up on Monday last week, and it was like a normal screw up, but for some reason my parents didn't discipline me but they supported me. My mom was very upset that she couldn't have been there with me to protect me from what happened, and that means a lot. I know there is an unconditional love because of the emotion she showed when she said that to me. My dad was a little upset with me but he told me that everyone makes mistakes and that I just have to learn from what happened, which I have and I will continue to do. It was a difficult week for me to deal with but with the support and love my parents showed me, even though I messed up pretty big, I was able to learn from what happened and I will not make the same mistake again.
