Just because my parents put money in my bank account doesn't make me "spoiled."
It doesn't mean that I don't have a work ethic or that I don't appreciate the hard-earned dollar. I appreciate the little things and I appreciate everything that my parents do for me. Just like you wouldn't apologize for getting a scholarship, I won’t apologize for getting my funding from my parents.
My whole life, the importance of hard work has been drilled into me. However, in this stage in my life, that hard work is getting my education. Going to school full time is work enough. Just because I don't hold a job doesn't mean that I don't know what hard work means.
My parents don't "love me more" because they help me out with some finances. They don't look at me and think that I'm not capable of working hard so they better provide for me. On the contrary, they see how hard I have to work in school and they want to make sure I'm comfortable while putting all of my focus on getting an education that will help me get settled in the hard-working career world.
My parents don't "bankroll" me, they just want me to focus on school and school alone. As my dad always tells me, "Your job is school and your education is your first priority - everything else comes after."
That's how I've been raised and it hasn't made me spoiled - maybe it's just made othe people bitter.
