Special Parents

What makes my parents special!

My parents are truly the best people put in this world. Yes, I know everyone thinks their parents are the bomb.com, but my parents truly are. They are so special. I honestly feel like God had put every goodness into them when they were created. Before you dismiss my claim hear me out. Here are ten reasons why my parents beat any others.

1. They are kindhearted!

My parents are the kind of parents that invite my friends over to spend the night with them. The kind of parents that overfeed my friends and won't take a "no" for a reason. The people who always see the best in people and all situations. The kind of individuals that put everyone and everything first to make the world a better place.

2. They have sacrificed so much!


They both left everything and everyone they were familiar with to bring my sister and me to America to receive an education. They knew if they kept us in Somalia we wouldn't reach the heights they knew we were capable of achieving. They left family, friends, 24/7 beautiful weather, and a place where they were accepted 100% without an image. To come to the world where they were outsiders just so my sister and I could get a quality education.

3. They are smart!


Whenever I think, I am like hella smart and know more than my parents I am always proved wrong. They aren't rude about it or anything, but they just simply let me have my fit before they put me back in my place. I am pretty sure they know just about everything. I have never asked them a question they didn't know the answer to. Now, that is super impressive.

4. They provide for me!


Growing up I never knew that when my parents didn't buy me something it wasn't because they hated me. It was either because they couldn't afford it or because I didn't need it. They have provided me with food and shelter. Here I am 20 years later, and they are still providing for me. Now they have the additional costs of paying for my college.

5. They encourage me!


I have never met anyone who supports me as much as my parents do. They are always giving me the encouragement I carve for. They tell me to ignore what the haters say and do what I want to do. They think I am capable of anything and everything and that makes me believe that I am actually capable of anything and everything.

6. They give me hope!


There have been so many times where I was slowly losing hope. Times where I didn't think there was any hope. But there were my parents always giving me hope and letting me know that the grass is greener on the other side and that the sun will shine through the clouds eventually. They told me never to lose hope because that is the only thing one can truly control.

7. They listen to me!


You might think this is a weird reason, but you wouldn't think that if you knew how just how much I talk. My mouth is constantly moving, and their ears are always open. They listen and let me speak to my heart's content. They hear what I have to say which means the absolute world to me.

8. They forgive me!


They have always forgiven me. They have forgiven me for breaking my mom's favorite plate to being late to curfew. They have always had the heart to overlook my shortcomings and forgive me without missing a beat.

9. They guide me!


They have had such an integral part in who I am today. They have helped me pick a religion that I love with all my heart. They have told me to take the high road and never mistreat any creation of the Lord. I am who I am of them in every way.

10. They love me unconditionally!


They don't want anything from me. They accept for everything that I am flaws and all. They give me love and support without wanting anything in return.

I told you my parents are the bomb.com. They are the best parents anyone could ask for. The kind of people you would never replace even if you had the choice to replace them with the Obamas. They are the perfect parents for me.

Thanks to God for the gift that is my parents!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
