If there are two people in the world that I genuinely admire, they would definitely be the persons whose love allowed me to see the light of God's creation-my parents. They may not be the perfect couple that one would read in novels, still I would never wish for another pair. Despite my parents' meager income, they are able to send my sisters, brother and I to the best schools because of patience, hard work and the dream of molding us into prolific and benevolent individuals. In the face of countless crises, my parents have retained an indomitable spirit and have possessed an enduring hope that in seemingly insurmountable circumstances, they will emerge as victors of this battle.
