Its good to see that you appreciate the things your parents do for you. I went to college with people with extremely rich parents and they had no appreciation for anything (and no concept of reality). The usual response by other students when they found out I didn't have a car was, "why don't you just ask your parents to buy a car for you?" They just couldn't comprehend that my parents COULDN'T buy a car for me, especially considering that most of them didn't even appreciate the $50-90k car they were already driving (early 1990's prices).
I still laugh about the crazy jobs I worked over the years to help pay for school and eventually get my own car.
