Oh no am I Turning into my Parents?.....

Oh wait that wouldn't be a bad thing, I would be honored if I could have the life of my parents. This week they are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in Cancun. They met when they were sophomores in high school and they have been together ever since. I have never met two people who are more happy in their life than my parents. My mom excelled in high school and was valedictorian of her class and my dad was no dummy either. However my mom decided not to go to college and instead got a job because in those days in Northeast Washington, people didn't really go to college. My dad did a year and a half at University of Washington and decided to drop out and get his real estate license. I am the first person in my family to go to college, and my parents are able to afford it because they work their asses off. Now my beautiful mother is the CFO of the company she works for and my father is a very respected name in his business. If I could grow up and work as hard and be even half as happy in life as my parents, then I would say I am successful. So instead of 'oh no I'm turning into my parents....' its more like 'what more can I do to be more like my parents'.
