My grandfather is one of my favorite relatives. He doesnt live in lexington so i dont get to see him very often. He's the one who says don't embarrass the family name. Without fail, he will tell me this every time we visit. My mom says he would tell her the same when she was younger. Im not sure whether this is the best advice ive ever been given, but it is the only one that has always stuck with me. My actions dont always effect only me, but others as well. I should think twice before i do anything. Still being young, taking risks and making stupid decisions are expected every once in awhile. I won't be caring about how they make me seem to others. But whether i care about how i look to others, I should always keep my parents in mind, since although most of us hate to admit it, they do know best. And if they would be embarrassed to hear of what i did, i shouldnt do it. My actions do reflect on my parents and the rest of my family, not just on myself.
