Family and Youngest Son

The role of the youngest son
Throughout the progression of my life, I must take a certain roles. Some of these roles are extremely important. Being young give me experiences about the crucial roles that will benefits me for the rest of my life. Taking positive interest in my actions is what enables me to improve in my roles. Even if I do not succeed in life, there will always be responsibilities and consequences that I must face and learn. Being the youngest son in the family is challenging since my parents expect greatly from me. There are three vital roles in life that allows me to be successful and the entitlements of being my parent son. These roles are by being a leader, cooperative, and respectful.
To begin with, my most important role right now is being a leader. Richard Rodriguez asserts that “In public, my father and mother spoke a hesitant, accented, not always grammatical English.”(Memoir 309) It was the same for my parent. They cannot speak English correctly so I promised myself that I will learn to speak proper English. By doing so, I can improved my parents English. I believed that this is a leader quality since it indicates that I could learn a new language while teaching my parent. Currently, education is essential and represents the first goals I want to attain. Being a leader not only helps me to be responsible, but also guides me to the route I must follow in life. For example, I always put academic grades as a priority and my goal is no less than perfect. My effort will only work if I study hard and by reviewing my notes. No other role than that of a being a leader will give me a development progress in life. Leading others make my life meaningful by allowing me to concentrate on the important events that occur around me. These roles are beneficial and important as a son. Undertaking these tasks will be helpful, and would be a great development for me in the future.
Additionally, another role as a son is by being cooperative in the family. There is no other ways I can express the true meaning of life if I’m not part of a family unit. Even Richard Rodriguez agreed and implies that “For me there were none of the gradations between public and private society so normal to a maturing child.”(Memoir 312) Since being cooperative in the family displays dutiful and respectful mannerism. For example, being a supportive son in my family has taught me about teamwork, because I support my parents by partially paying house and insurance bills. In addition, I have other duties as a son; therefore, I am also the one who go to the market on certain week days to buy groceries, and I also organize the laundry during my spared time. This is the first and the many important roles in my life. It teaches me to care for other and ultimately, be supportive for my families.
Furthermore, the extravagant qualities, I deem, is that I would always respect my parents. It was my parents who brought me into the world and raised me up to be virtuous. They provided me with food and clothes, and send me to schools to be educated, optimally, to become a great person. They gave an immense effort to make my life pleasurable and comfortable. Accordingly, it was my responsibility to respect my parents, including their efforts and opinions. I should not spend money on inadequate items because the money comes from our parent’s tears and lurid work. At the same time, we must listen to the right advices from our parent and don’t proceed according to our own wishes and desires the hostility of our parent. Overall, being the youngest son, give me the vast opportunities to be a leader in my family. I anticipate that my leadership affects the lives of my parents and those who are around me to be cooperative to one another. In dedicating myself to my family and education, I pledge to myself that I will do anything to accomplish my duties. I am an insurmountably determined individual, and will give my peak performance in climbing the ladder of success and ultimately, respects from others. Even the Chinese Proverb stated that “Giving your son a skill is better than giving him one thousand pieces of gold.”
