Soledad Garcia - Who gives me strength and hope for my future(300 word response)?

      Someone that gives me hope and strength for my future is my mom and dad. The reason I've chosen my parents is because they've always been there for my brother and I. They've always told us to do the right thing and they've provided us with things we need even if we can't realy afford it. they put us first and despite their differences, they both would do anything for my brother and I. Through both of their mistakes, they teach me what not to do. They are who I look up to.

      My mom makes me hopeful and strong for my future, because academically she provides me with support. She helps keep me on track. She also helps me with things I'm going through outside of school. She helps me with my relationships and big decisions. She helps me with things I can't really talk to my dad about, like if I'm having an argument with my boyfriend, she's the first person I go to. My mom and I tend to bump heads sometimes, but I can still go to her when it comes to certain things. There are time where I can't talk to her about so I go to my dad for advice.

      My dad makes me hopeful and strong for my future, because extra-curricular wise, he provides me with support, tools and materials. He helps me with music I'm struggling to learn on guitar. When I need moral advice or if I need help calming down when my mom and I get into arguments, he is the first person I call. I'm really close with my dad, but at times he can be really annoying and that's when i go to my mom for advice. My dad supports my dream of being a musician. He has went as far as to get me my own instruments. He has gotten me a keyboard piano, two guitars, two guitars and a concert sized ukulele. I remember a time when I was younger, he had recently been laid off of a job so he wasn't working. My birthday came and he woke me up to a brand new tablet. He had been doing side-jobs to be able to get me something nice. That proves how far he would go to get my brother and I something nice. He's tried helping me get to my dream high school but my mom stopped him.

      In conclusion, my parents will always be my biggest supporters, no matter the circumstances. They both know what it's like to not have a stable support system so they made sure my brother and I both have a proper support system. I know I can go to them for anything.
