My Parents

I feel really lucky to have such amazing parents. My father works as an engineer. He is very hard-working and disciplined, and he always encourages me to do my best. He is a little strict when it comes to school and rules, but I know he only wants the best for me. On weekends, we usually spend time together fixing things around the house or playing sports in the backyard.

My mother, on the other hand, is kind and caring. She works as a teacher and loves helping others. She’s always there when I need advice or when I’m feeling down. She cooks delicious meals, and we all sit together as a family to enjoy dinner. One of my favorite things to do with my mother is baking cookies on Sunday afternoons. She always makes sure that everyone in the family is happy and cared for.

Both of my parents are my role models. They have taught me the importance of hard work, kindness, and family. Even though they are busy with their jobs, they always find time to spend with me and make sure I’m doing well in school. I know I can always rely on them whenever I need support or guidance, and that makes me feel really lucky.
