Over the past sixteen years of my life, I have grown to be a very independent person. This can be both good and bad in the sense that I am able to do things （21）______ my own, yet at times struggle with taking advice from others. Sometimes, hearing what other people have to say can be one of

 the hardest things to do. However, getting advice from （22）_______ cares about you can impact 

your life in great way. Because of this, I began realizing that my mom’s guidance throughout my 

life has never steered me wrong. This is why I believe you（ 23） __________ always listen to your 

mother.

This belief has not been easy （24） _______ （realize）. It has taken endless amount of time in 

which I decided to go against what my mother had tosay, and later discovered that she was right. I

think we can all agree that （25） ____ （admit） your mother was right is always a hard thing to do. 

But what else are you supposed to say （26） _______ you are standing outside in the freezing 

cold, shaking because you did not wear that extra jacket you （27） __________ （tell） to wear?

When I was twelve years old, I had the experience of a lifetime. However, I would have missed out if it hadn’t been for my mom. She had been planning a trip to Turkeyfor work, （28）  _____ （offer） to bring my sister and me along with her. When I first heard about this opportunity, I was terrified. Never had I been out of the country before. I thought to （29）______ “Is she crazy?

 my mom then began to say, （30） “_____ is known to all, one needs to step out of his comfort zone and try something new in order to encounter larger-than-life ideas.” After going back and forth with my own thoughts, I decided to go on the trip. And boy, she was right. Going to Turkey will forever be one ofmy greatest memories and I am thankful I got to visit that amazing country.
