My parents are the reason why I'm still here, in uni, happy and life-loving.
Sure, they may be Chinese (strict, expecting good academic results etc.) but I guess that an advantage I have as being Chinese. Although they couldn't control the Aussie side of me (rebellion, speaking English to my bro etc, trying to become a "try-hard gangsta") their tough stances on their values, morals and ways to raise both me and my brother were excellent and effective. Why am I still not a try-hard gangster? I grew up a passive and quite boy, which are characteristics unsuited for a "gangster" (as I found out the hard way).
Not only that, my thoughts, ideas, philosophies, morals and values are strong and my will to always help others are because of my parents. My brother and I don't have everything we want and that's a good thing. My brother and I don't do stuff like drugs and alcohol and stuff. My brother and I hang out with people we know we can trust rather than people who could turn their backs on you at any moment.
Basically, my parents have taught me more than just to lead a successful life and perform well (academically). My parents have instilled me with the necessary things vital for surviving and enjoying life to the fullest. They have also helped us be able to make our own decisions and figure out our own dilemmas and complications and have always told us to help others. All of which I'm grateful of.
It sounds like a love letter about my parents, but in reality they've put so much work into my bro and I that they go out of their way and bend their lives just to see us successful and happy. They even go out of their way to be able to buy my bro and I computers, laptops and stuff I need as an Architecure student at Uni. No matter how big the thing is, they move their life out of the way to help make our lives easier. If they aren't great parents I don't know what is.
I plan to thank them in the future and repay to them the amount of love and care they've put in for me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
