Being a good parent is probably the hardest job to have. In my case, I
             have a five-year-old, whom I love, with all my heart. Raising a good child is
             difficult; every mistake that I make will effect my child's way at looking and
             thinking of me. I am responsible for knowing when to say no, and his discipline; I
             am his role model, and are responsible for his life.
             At times when I say, "stop that's enough" to my child, he will not listen to
             me, then I have to take different measures for discipline. Once I told my child to
             turn off his game cube system in the late afternoon because it was time to take a
             bath. He refused to turn off his game and told me "wait". Marlon, my child, knows
             that when I say stop, I mean stop now. This time, Marlon was real excited about
             playing his "Super Mario Sunshine" game, because he was in a new level. I took
             away his game cube. The hard part came next. He started to cry and pout. It
             breaks my heart to hear him cry. Now, the majority of the time he will stop when
             I say stop, and has not misbehaved when it is concerning his game cube. It is
             very hard for me as a mother to hear my kid cry, especially after I made him cry,
             but I know I still have to be the one to set rules for him.
             As a parent, I am also aware that I am his role model. Every action that I
             make he will remember. For example, he recently asked me why I always wash
             my hands. I told Marlon because every time that I will cook, after I clean, or touch
             anything that is unsanitary, I have to wash my hands so that the germs do not
             stay on my hands. Most of the time he will wash his hands on his own, but once
             in while I do have to remind him. I know that one-day when he is older I will not
             have to remind him, because he always observes me washing my hands.
             I am responsible for his well being, and making sure h
