Broken Home to Good, Is it Possible?

We had talked about how coming from a broken home can somewhat cause a predestination effect on the life of kids. It is easy to see how this is a common thought amongst most people because home life plays a huge part in shaping who we are. It is how we associate how to act when we get outside the walls of our house and how we govern right from wrong.

Coming from a home that has witnessed its’ share of bad events, I for one can attest that while it does play a huge factor, if you can push beyond this, you can and will become the thing that you may fear most. One will realize that there is more to life then taking the “easy way out” and that hard work, and dedication do pay off in the end.

My childhood was based in a fairly rough part of Dallas due to the fact that my mother was a single mother raising three kids. I had been witness to many violent things and have seen first hand, how a broken home can turn a person bad. It is interesting to think how things for my family might be different if my mother had not been the strong person she is. She instilled a sense of right and wrong in us and taught us that even though times are rough and you can be down on your luck, you have to push on. For tomorrow is a new day and with new days bring new opportunities.

With the right kind of morals and ethics instilled within us from child hood, we can turn the worst of situation into the best. It is not always the easiest thing to do, but if we actually come to a sense of realization, then it is extremely possible to break the common mold and become a “good person”. It is something to be admired and reckoned with because hard work and determination are what it means to make this society work.
