Only Family Will Give You The Whole Truth

Who else will tell you the truth besides your family.

~Mom

Only family will tell you how it really is.

It was my family who taught me how to model myself. How to form myself into what I want to become; as well as, telling me the whole truth. When I was going astray, it was my mother who pulled in the ranes and told me the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

As I was thinking that I was doing really well on the SSAT last October. My mother was not just gonna sit there and watch me crumble as I woke up to reality, not being able to fix my score.

I was happy as well as blinded by the truth. Thinking I was gonna be alright. It was my mother who woke me up and gave me a reality check. I was furious at my mother for not supporting me, Telling me that I was wrong; however, I am very grateful to my mother for showing me how it really was. Thankful for her showing me the truth.

I didn’t know I was not doing the best. I thought it was all sunshine and rainbows. However, my mother came in and gave me a reality check

Don’t expect your family to lie to you. Expect them to give you the whole truth, no questions asked.
