    “We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves,” said Henry Ward Beecher. I agree that I will never figure out the greatness of my parents until I raise my child and go through the same experience that my parents went. Parents always try to do the best and give the best to their children. Their affection to their child is so huge that it is immeasurable. The method of giving this love and care might be wrong or misguided, but their intention for wanting their children to live better lives is always right. Like the quote, her family did really recognize her mother’s love until she disappeared. Dad, Chi-hon, and Hyong-Chol naturally thought mom will always be next to them and when they need her, she will be at the approachable place so they could easily get help. No one really thanked for what she had done for him or her. They just thought it was a natural and common thing for mom to do it for a family.

    Wonder How would you feel if one day your parents decided it was time for you to start school, with facial deformity, after being homeschooled your entire life? This is exactly how August Pullman felt in R.J Palacio’s “Wonder”. Many would argue that Auggie’s experiences at his school, Beecher Prep, had a negative impact on his life. I, on the other hand, believe it had a positive impact. In fact, I believe that Auggie going to school changed his life for the better. I have reason to believe…

    Guardianship is not the same as being adopted. My foster parents were never able to fully adopt me because my birth mother refused to give up her rights. Due to her actions, I was considered to be a ward of the state. When I tell people that I spent 16 years of my life as a ward of the state, they think I have been in prison since I was a little toddler. I cannot even fathom what they could possibly be thinking that a little five year old did to wind up in prison. I can usually tell by their…
