           I like to imagine myself 10 years later in marriage. I’ve always wanted to have 2 sons and 1 daughter. I even have thought about what names I would give to my sons and daughter. Also, I once have thought about things that my kids have to learn. What I want to teach my kids is manners, patience, and ability to work on their own.

           First of all, the most important thing is the manner. I don’t want my children to be like who don’t behave in front of the elders, and also, friends. Behaving to the elders is common sense that they have to have. However, many people don’t have manner when they are with friends. However, I think even between friendships, it is important to have manner such as not saying anything that would hurt friend’s feelings or thinking about on friend’s position. I want my children to get along well with people around them.

           Secondly, I believe that without patience, people cannot achieve anything good. For example, students have to study with patience. They can’t just be smart at once. It is important to know how to wait until people get something. With this lesson, I will also give lessons about “no pain, no gain” to my children. I realize “no pain, no gain,” is so true in our lives.  Everyone has to have patience in pain to gain something.

           Finally, I will teach my children ability to work on their own. It is really important to work on their own when they go to school, especially high school. It is really different between middle school and high school. In high school, the education become much harder and there is a lot of homework that they have to do it on their own. I want to train my children before they go to middle school so they will get used to work on their own. Also, I want my children care about their grades. There are lots of students who don’t even care what they are getting for their grades, and I think it’s horrible. I want my children to work hard, and be a nice students.
