Undergraduate / Both my parents - UBC Draft - What is important to you? [6]
Growing up, my parents did their best for me. They were there when I needed them, even if they could be distant. Perhaps to the rest of the world my parents may not have been the best, but it is because of them that I am who I am. I would like to consider myself as a very open minded person, and it's largely thanks to my parents, especially my mum. My mum grew up in a village, where she was brought up with a rigid set of rules, causing her to have unique boundaries to certain issues. However, watching her all these years I've been with her, I've seen her growth as a person and how she was willing to look at situations from a different point of view. My dad, already being an open-minded person, has supported her journey and has shown me how he has persevered through their relationship. Both my parents are my biggest influences and have taught me the value of change and perseverance, both skills that I have hopefully taken forward into my life.
I'm not really sure where to go from here, so help would be much appreciated!
