�How does your life differ from your parents' at your age?
Both my parents were raised on a farm, like me, but without a TV and electricity for a while. I've got a TV in my room And I've never known what it's like to go to bed cold, cold room where you have to take a heated stone wrapped in a blanket with you to keep warm. My dad didn't have a car until -- I don't know how old he was�the family had a Model T, and they used it until it fell apart. Now we have four cars. My dad's a farmer�soybeans and corn�and my mom's a housewife. Neither of them was spoiled, and I know I am. I admit it.
�I think my father enjoys spoiling me because his parents could never do that for him. He wants to see me go as far as I can in anything I do, and he wants to make sure I have everything I need to do it�
Alan Eller, 17, Kokomo, Ind.
