text: I am grateful that I have such wonderful parents.  They may have been very strict when I was younger (making sure I didn't do drugs, hang out with the wrong crowd or drop out of school).  I am now 23 years old, I have graduated from college, I work a full time and I am getting ready to go back to school for my Masters.  I always thought my parents were ruining my childhood but now I am so thankful.  I know my parents wish they could have helped me pay for college or help me with my bills but I am so happy I grew up the way I did and I would never change my parents for anyone or anything in this whole world!
