I value many things in my life and they are all of utmost importance to me. Many people take for granted their way of life or even that they are alive for that matter. The three most important things I value in my life are my parents, community, and the fact that I am alive. In this essay I will explain reasons for valuing those items and why they are so important to me.
             I love my parents very much because they are always there for me when I need them. Whenever I seek support in a sport that I am playing or even having trouble at school, they are always there for me. Without my parents my life could go in the wrong direction. I can talk to my parents about anything that is going on in my life and they are always there to listen to me.
             I am also extremely lucky to live in such a good community. Growing up in a bad environment is extremely unhealthy for a child, mainly because a child needs care and support by people he/she interacts with. I have been very fortunate to have caring teachers, friends, and even neighbors that actually want to see me succeed.
             The most important thing that I value over everything else is the simple fact that I am living and in good health. A couple of years ago I got in a extremely bad car wreck with a couple of friends, it was horrible. I felt like I was going to die because I was in so much pain. Ever since that accident, living has meant a lot more to me.
             There are certain things everyone should value in their life. These three things are the main ones that I value in my own. I doubt that my value will ever change because of my everlasting memory.
