Personal Narrative: Maribel

Now as an adult I realize why they were the way they were and am extremely thankful. It is because of their discipline and love I am me. This information will definitely help me as a parent as well as possible future

Their friendship is sorta like mine and my bestfriends. All thought we have some similarities we have many differences as well. She’s a blonde with wavy hair and loves to party and works. While i am a brunette with frizzy hair who has a child and doesn't work. We both love to eat and to not be bothered which is why i think we

Mum was a light in my life as I am sure she was a light in all of yours. She would give anyone the shirt off her back and go out of her way to help a friend in need. I remember one time when I was little Mum got a phone call late at night from a friend who lived on the other side of the Street. She had fought with her husband and was really upset. Mum dressed us and went out in her nightgown with us to go console her because Dad was working that night. She would always be there for her friends and family.

It is very nice to hear when parent is so close with his/her kids. My parents were not around all the time and I am not sure if its their fault that I got into some things. I believe it is teen age pushes is to do something as we thought outstanding.

She has taught me so many moral values to life and has made me the man I am

They were good at asking us our opinions- they always made sure that we were involved and our attention was held. We felt like we were in charge of what happened, and we acted fairly maturely with our new found control.

My parents implemented high-control parenting in that they had a lot of control on if I did or did not do something. They did not push me out of my comfort zone in safe ways. They controlled so much because they wanted me to be safe and never make any “big mistakes” that I never really got involved in anything that was outside of a church activity or a sports team which one of my parents were always there to supervise. I eventually felt that there was no need to try new things because they were always there to judge or wanting me to

I was tall for my age. I had long curly hair with blonde highlights woven through my dark brown hair, and large twinkling bright eyes. My eyes were beautiful and were never the same. One day then color of my eyes would shine green and the next day they would

They always expected a lot from me but I just wanted to follow my own path. I know I maybe should've done what they said to avoid their wrath but I could honestly care less about what they wanted from me. Besides I'm not the only child in the family. But then again, my brother was... Never mind.

Next, my parents like to meet other parents before i do any hanging out.Also i can't go out past dark walking around town with girls,unless i have my phone on me at all times.I have always been told”by my parents” that if i screw it up it's my fault .

can remember. Beer, parties and kisses are remote. I 'm a Save the Whales activist, so antisocial I 've

I was the “Easy Kid” my parents would always tell me. I listened to everything they said and never got in trouble for the same thing twice. Supposedly I never went through that phase of temper tantrums or acting out in public. My parents said that it was almost like I went straight from being an infant to an adult. I was deathly afraid of disobeying or disappointing my parents when I was younger. I just listened to what they said the first time and didn’t make the same mistake in fear of consequences that might come of my actions. My parents were by no means strict, but they were all-knowing when I was young. I was a people-pleaser, but only to the people that I had a high respecting for. One could say that my mom and dad were my first role-models, because I respected and trusted them in everything they said and they never led me astray. Throughout my life friends and other family members have come and gone, but my parents were always there for me and still are to this day. This caused me to develop an overwhelming reliance on them emotionally. It caused me to almost completely establish my happiness on what I thought they were proud of. In other words, if I didn’t think they were pleased with what I did or accomplished I wasn’t happy with myself.

My best friend Alexis, Blonde hair, 5’6 and about 110 pounds, always smiling and always giving me crap about something, given I do the same; I swear that anytime she is breathing she has no clue what she is doing, she just does it and whatever the outcome may be then so be it. This doesn’t mean she isn’t intelligent and witty, she just goes with the flow, you know?

My parents are overprotective. It honestly frustrates me when half the time I’m never allowed to go anywhere with my friends, and go to places without my parents having to be right next to me. I understand they want to protect me because they love me, and I appreciate it, but

I was on my best behavior. And there was no such thing as always being happy like I was when I am at home with my parents. I learned what it was like to be picked on, be mad, angry, happy, and develop friendships. I think my family addressed this function well, because I have matured to be able to communicate and socialize with all those around me, which includes how to act and feel.
