My parents are the people who first come to mind when i think of someone who treats me with unconditional positive regard. They are the people who are always encouraging me to do good things and keep trying my hardest even when i mess up or give up. I think that their unconditional positive regard has made a huge impact on my life, i am able to feel loved and accepted by my family even when i am going through a rough time. My parents will always treat me with respect and the kindness that i need no matter what. The unconditional support i am given by my parents has allowed me to become successful in not only my schooling but with my social life as well. I am a much more confident person as well as compassionate and caring from them. I don't think that i treat myself with unconditional positive regard all the time like my parents do. I am definitely a lot harder on myself at times than my parents can be and i can be discouraged often. When i am discouraged or unmotivated, i can always count on my parents to give me the positive reinforcement i need to succeed and get a task completed. I think that i have standards in life that i need to live up to in order to be happy with myself and those conditions of worth allow me to motivate myself to become successful and happy in life.
That is why it is so important to have such a stable unconditional positive regard in your life, such as your parents who will love you unconditionally.

It is so lovely that you experience unconditional positive regard from your family, and even more that you recoginize it and acknowledge that it has shaped who are you. You mention in your reflection that there are conditions of worth but do not specify what they are, this would strengthen your case. 9.5/10
