Recommended: Essay on venezuela and its culture

I was born in a city known for its happy and friendly people. Maracaibo, a city known as the “city of the lovely sun” located in the north western of Venezuela. It is a very famous city for its people and its culture. One of the things that make us very different from the rest is the way we speak, the words we have invented and how we can exaggerate anything like an expression or a story. Further, Maracaibo is a city that has given a lot to the country due to its abundant reserves of oil that has made Venezuela one the biggest oil producers in the planet. In addition, Maracaibo is the capital of a state that is full other resources as well like agriculture and cattle raising.

My big brother despite of his grumpy personality that made have for any reason some difficult moments when we were growing up, he is now one the person I trust the most and who I can share anything when I need advice with any issue and decision I have to make. Even though my brother and I are very closed and united at the moment, I still feel some rancor feelings with him because of those ungraceful moments I had with him, moments where he could guide me, teach me and be a friend instead of being a judge to everything I did. But, I always try to forget about it and enjoy this time of great brotherhood. On the other hand, my little sister has always been very closed to me, she has always looked for my advice, and I think I have been there for her every time she has needed; obviously, we have had our fights and discussion, but those were issues we have overcome by a simple talking.

    Since the 1970s, Venezuela has gone from being South America’s richest nation into a nouveau-poor society in search of an identity. Once known as the Saudis of the West, Venezuelans have seen their economic fortunes decline in exact proportion to the general fall in world oil prices. Even so, Venezuela’s many problems were hidden from view until relatively recently, when severity measures heralded the sort of economic crises so painfully familiar to other Latin American countries. Runaway inflation, currency devaluations and even food riots have marked this new phase in Venezuelan history, to which the country is still trying to adjust.

Most significantly, Papa always encouraged my art, no matter the type, drawing, painting, photography, etc., but with writing in particular, he saw my potential. He often read my writing and truly saw though the technicolor kaleidoscopes of perception I mentioned. Countless times I remember Papa asking me what was on my mind, wanting to know what universe my thoughts were drifting into. With writing, his interest in my thinking was fulfilled. Being that he passed away only a little less than a month before my high school graduation, writing about him, and for him, seemed to fit well.

    "The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you." -Kendall Hailey. Many people among us think that a family reunion is boring. It is an unpleasant social affair where our parents drive us to go and stay there for a considerable length of time. There are odd individuals who come to us and kiss or embrace us while we are still considering "do I know him/her?”. It is because we believe that enjoying the holiday out with friends is much better than investing hours with the people, we “unfortunately” belong to. They have no other subject for discussion aside from our studies and grades. On the other hand, family gathering is always a new experience for someone who lives far away from his blood relations.
