My Value

             When first born to a family, as a child we don't know what race we are born in. What are the rules of living in a society in the family? As we grow up we learn the way our family lives and how they value life. What they consider more important in life then anything else, is what we learn. While growing up I too had earned so many values from my parents. They have taught me many things that come first and many things that come at last. Not only that I was taught a few things that I shouldn't be doing at all. The top three values that I was taught were to respect my elders, family reputation comes first than anything else, and society comes before freedom. I lived with these values for most of my life. They had created so much influence in my life.
             I have always respected family members that are elder to me. My parents taught me how to talk to them. What I should say to them and what I shouldn't. This makes them appreciate my parents because they say the parents' upbringing on this child is really nice. Everyone that I talk to, I was never supposed to say their name, while I talk to them. If it is someone that I am not familiar with and is part of my family, I have to call them uncle or aunt, if it is a woman. This has influenced my life because now I respect everyone that is older to me. I don't talk to them rudely. Also the way I see life is, if you respect someone, you will also be respected and appreciated by everyone else. This does happen. As I am growing up, all my family members that are younger to me, they respect me and they have never called my name while addressing me. It feels so special. Although they don't call me aunt, but they call me "sister" or "sis," whichever one is easier for them.
             After respect comes family reputation. My mom used to say; you must take care of you self and not hang around with wrong crowd. My friends were respected only
