Are parents best teachers? I still remember every time when I felt sad because of failure in my studies at middle school, my mother would calm me down and told me it was good since I tried my best After one is born, the first and nearest teachers are the parents So parents teach children a lot during their process of growing up As for me, parents are the best teachers The reasons are as follows: First, my parents show me how to be a useful person to the society My father is a doctor and my mother is a teacher They are always willing to help others When I was young, we were often woke up by someone whose relatives caught an urgent illness My father got up without hesitation and went out to cure them My mother often taught some students at home who met some difficulties in their studies My parents were held in great respect All the above influenced me greatly and I made my decision to grow up to be such a useful person like them They taught me to study hard to acquire knowledge to serve the people Second, my parents play an important role in shaping my inclination and character My parents are both optimistic and good at physical education My father liked to take me out to attend some activities which cultivated my willingness to associate with my friends To some extent, my strong body is credited to exercise during childhood Finally, my parents offer me warmth and care, tell me to have confidence in myself and to be an independent person in the society They both help me understand the world as it is Both of them are the dearest parts in my life
