A short paragraph about our parents. Please help me to correct

Our parents who gave birth to us and bring us to grow up. So in our life we could not live well without our parents. For me my parents are very important whose life are devoted to bring me up and give me very precious lessons.

\ Firstly, I really want to say thanks to my parents for valuable issues t that they have brought to me. Both my parents are famers but they tried their best to work hard to earn money for me to have a chance to go to school as my village is very poor. all most of the children here have to work hard on farm together witth their moms and dads to support the whole family. Therefore, they can not go to school. Some just graduated from secondary school, even, some can not write any word or sign their naames. They have to use fingerprints instead of signatures.

     Morever, My mom and dad are also people who have taught me how to deal with all difficulty in life. They have told to be brave to face with hard areas. After coping with those hard works I really felt acknowledgement for them with their help and encouragments for me to overcome all. Receiving advice from parents and trying to deal with all things I faced, I felt I am strong than I imagine. And I strongly believe with my parents' present, I can do anything that I like without to much difficult. 


        Last but not least, I want to mention here that I think any people need to have like my parents is the love for others. Although they are relatively poor, they can  help anyone, they will be willing to help them. Especially, they have strong love for the old, homeless, the handicapped, anyone who are indeed. when I went to the market with mom, I saw mom give money to the old lady. At that time I was really moved by the kindness of my mom. Mom told me that If we can help, please do because there are many people who are poorer and more pitiable than us.

So I always live and work like my father and mother as they are bright mirror for to follow with all the services and precious lessons they haave given to me. Many thanks to them and hope they will have a happy life with the offspring.

Hi Tuyet, I enjoyed reading your essay. I think you could have added more specific and detailed examples of the things your parents did. The last body paragraph was better because you specifically mentioned your mom giving money to an elderly woman.
Here are some other suggestions:

Luschen, wouldn’t these words - [lifes (para1), strong than & to much (para3)] - need correction?

It would be difficult for you to live without your parents (and/or their assistance) though it may not be impossible to live without your parents (and/or their assistance).
