Assignment 5-6-09

When I did something wrong when I was younger my parents would yell at me.  They would make me see what I had done wrong and I wouldn't like it.  I would start crying and then go up to my parents and try to let them to stop being mad at me.  They would show me that they are disappointed and me and I would really hate that.  I hated disappointing my parents, yet I would still do what I did.  Then they said that they would ground me if I don't stop what I do.  But I would still be mischief.  They would get tired of me being so bad that they would yell more.  I would be scared then but still I would not listen.  Then my mom's parents (my grandparents) came and they would tell me these scary things that would happen to me if I misbehaved.  Then I started listening.  But after they leave I would start being bad again.  Then my parents told me that they would give me away to my dad's mom if I don't listen anymore.  I got scared of that.  I didn't want to leave my parents so I listened and stopped being so mischief.  But when I got older I started being stupid again.  I would lie and hurt my family.  When they got tired of that they kicked me out and I hated that.  From then on I stopped being so bad.  I would want to use what they did because I would want them to see what they are doing is wrong.  I just hope they feel the way I felt so that they can stop.  I don't really want them to feel that way but if it's the only way that they can be good then I will try it.  I hated the feeling I got when my parents did them.  But I knew they did it out of love.  So I will pray to God if they are ever mischief, I will pray that they will understand that they shouldn't be like that.  I will have faith in my father to watch over them.

Assignment 5-5-09

If I had a child I would read to them every night so that they would know that reading is a good way to learn in life.  I would also tell them about God and find ways to make games for them to know and learn about him.  I would play word games like scrabble so that they know big words in high school.  I would play games that make them learn about being polite and generous.  If I had children I would want them to know all the important things in life.  I'd also take them to church and have them enjoy singing for the Lord.  I'd have them sing for everyone in the church so that they can see how much fun it is to praise Jesus.  I would also teach them math games because it was hard for me to learn math.  I would get games like flash cards or other things.  I want what's best for them.  I'd even keep them active, I'd play games like tag, hide-and-seek, and we'd run around outside so that they can have fun and stay healthy.  About anything to keep them going in life.  I don't want them to be stuck to the television, playing games, going on computers.  I want them to be good and behave in class or at home or even at friends' houses.  They would be important to me, not more important then God, but they would be important.
