  3. well one big thing that i have had told by my parents is. You can go through your life and become somebody or you can just live it and be nobody, and then you can make something with your life or just sit and do nothing with your life. Also they told me to always be myself and a leader and never a follower.

  4. My life I have been told to do what want I and want I have to become what I want to be a leader or a follower. In this world you just have to pick were you want to go because no one going to pick for you.

  5. Sometimes I'm extremely irrational, so when people tell me I'm being crazy about stuff, I realize I am and it makes me feel awful. It's hard hearing you're doing something wrong, but it helps you in the long run.

  6. The thing my parents told me that there are 2 paths one path that leads you to success and better life and the other path that gets you no where and you keep digging a hole for yourself.

  7. What resonated with Randy was the way that it was worded. My grandfather has a way of doing this so that I understand when I'm acting like a brat to my parents. He is always able to reason with me & to get me to see their side of things & that has helped a lot.

  8. The message that resonated with Randy was the phrase " Randy you're being a jerk". In my life my pap always calls me out when I'm being mean to my younger siblings.And the message that resonated with me is that one day they will get older and they will do the same to you. So i stopped picking on them because i didn't want them to pick on me.
