Our parents were always there to support us morally, financially and emotionally. They taught us to be independent and to face the world with courage and determination to succeed. Every thing we had right now, next to God we owe it to our parents.They been supportive to us from the moment we were born in this world till we grown-up. And they also gave support on us in our studies. Now my question is... How's you relationship with your parents? How do you make them proud of you?

In my opinion yes some can make there parents proud of them however there are some that no matter what they do right are no matter how hard they try and work at things and do the right things they never seem to make there parents proud of them or so thats how they feel. A lot of people think they have to do this and that and kill themselfs jsut to do right to make there parents proud. Personally me i think that whatever i do should make my parents proud because atleast i tried to do what was right.

Yes agree with you, it's not on what level of accomplishment we that counts but it the effort we gave to make our parents proud of us. As long as we did our best our parents should be happy for us.

hi there, i am very close with both my mom and my dad. we are a closely knit family and that is how my parents wants us to be. they have instilled in our minds (my sister and i) that we do not have any room for jealousy or envy in the family for we are both loved and cared for. as what you have said, the second to God it is our parents greatly affect what we have now. with all the good things that my parents did provide for us, this can't be paid for any monetary value. one thing that we can do is to do good in all the endeavors that i am into, obey, respect and love my parents in return. this will show them that they had reap what they sow in me and this will truly make my parents proud of me. knowing that they have brought up a good and responsible individual.

When I was groing up, I wasn't very happy with my mom most of the time. That was because she was doing all the right things to make sure I grew up to be a responsible adult. At those times I didn't see it that way but when I got older I knew everything she did was right. Anything that I do makes my mom proud. I have been married for almost 9 years and my husband and I have 2 great kids. My mom still gives us support on everything we do including my husband. About a year before we got married, mom and I had a better relationship. We were like freinds and I knew that I was just a brat growing up thinking I had all the answers. She let me make my own decisions which a couple of times were a mistake. My mom and I are like best freinds now. There isn't anything we don't talk to each other about and I am the first person she calls for anything. We talk to each other 3 or 4 times a week. I couldn't have had a better mom. She was the greatest. She is proud of the family that I have created and she is proud that I am the mother that I am. I think I am just as proud of my mom as she is for me.

My parents are more like my friends. I share every little thing with them. So are they,they take up all the decisions only after consulting me,even while I was really young!! They'll feel proud when they see their son/daughter to out perform others. Can still remember my mom's eyes were filled with happy tears when she saw me getting a prestigious award in front of a large mass. When I think I should do it for them,I never tend to feel tired or look back. Just being a responsible person and taking care of them in their second child hood will keep them happy and make them proud. After all this is a very small token of our gratitude that we can show to the two souls who spent their whole life for carving ours!!
