DIVIDE YOUR LIFE INTO 3-5 MAJOR PERIODS

Divide your life into 3-5 major periods. As I look back upon my past, it gets scary
because I can actually divide my life into parts. If I look at it on the bright side, I
am a more mature person. On the other hand, if I look at it negatively, I am getting
closer to my 'grave'. But the truth is that I am better off looking at my life at the
brighter side. I have considered myself fortunate than most people. I have been to many
parts of the world, seen many cultures, and have done things only a child can dream of
doing. If I were to divide my life into major periods, I would look at it when I was a
child, a teenager and my life now. The first part of my life would have to be when I was
a child. I used to think that my parents, especially my dad, were Gods. Everything he
said or did was right. I would get into arguments with my friend to as whose dads were
the best.This is where I look at my life and noticed that during that time, I was
dependent on my parents. Everything that I did that time was revolving around my parents.
But as time passes by, I became much wiser. The thought of my parents being right is
wrong. Yep! The second part of my life has begun. I was in the teenage years. Being
rebellious, I was against everything that my parents said. Instead of them being like
Gods to me, I was God. Everything I did was right and the whole world is under me. My
parents were always against me in everything that I did. I remember that I would never go
out with my parents to dinner or to the shopping mall. The reason was because of
embarrassment. I was afraid to be seen with my parents. I had the feeling that the world
was against me. I guess that it is normal for a teenager to feel that way. Then, as I
left home to further my studies, another chapter of my life began. Being away from home
in a foreign land made me realized that I am no longer a teenager. I am an adult now.
Slowly, my views of my parents started to change. How could I have been so rebellious
towards them? I have only started to appreciate what they did for me. Why has it taken so
long for me to realize that? I guess the feeling to respecting your parents is something
you obtain as you get older. My life has been a colorful one. The feeling of being a Zero
to a Hero is something I laugh at sometimes. Right now, I am in the middle of my life
where the time for me to take care of myself and to earn my money. It is approaching
fast. At the end of it, what I am today and will be is because of the giving I got when I
was a child.
