When people first glance at my family their jaw slightly drops and the question, “How many siblings do you have?” shortly follows. I respond with a smile on my face, “I have six siblings, five sisters and one brother.” Even though they can get crazy, I love them more than anything, and I would not trade them for the world. But back in 2011, my answer to the same question was slightly different, as there was one less sister. On June 20, 2012, Madison Grace Christensen was born and completed our not-so-small family. It was one of those sunny Winter days when the snow glistened like morning dew. One of those days when after church the family would do absolutely nothing besides relax in the living room and soak up the sun that streamed through …show more content…
The walls were a nasty pale rose color filled with marks all over it from the baby carts that would scratch up against them. In the bed I saw my mom, her face was pale, her hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, and her face was without makeup. But her smile was still as bright as ever as she looked down at the baby in her arms. My mom passed Madison around the room, and everyone took their turn holding her, besides me. Everyone had their full attention on Madison which made me mad because no one was paying attention to me. What was the big deal with a new born baby anyways?! My mom wanted a picture of me holding Maddy, so I put a fake smile on and held the little thing. When I looked down at her, her eyelids were closed ever so gently. As they slowly crept open her dark blue eyes stared back at me. Her thin dark hair was covered with a pink hat, her delicate skin was a soft rose color, and her chubby little cheeks squished up against her eyes. I could feel my eyes start to tear up, not because I was mad and not because I was not getting the attention, but because I realized how precious she was. I felt bad for all the terrible thoughts I ever thought about her. I swore to myself to never think like that again. My mom smiled at me as I gently handed Madison back to her. I knew that my mom will still love me as much as she always had, and she will never forget about
Guillermo - (Memo): Enrique Castiliio he was very studious, he was always studying and you get the feeling that he knew it was his only way out.
The siblings of twins are worth mentioning as well because they tend to feel left out – neither special nor important. This can lead to feelings of low self-esteem or to feeling driven to over achieve in an attempt to attract the attention and praise they need and feel they deserved but did not get (Blair, 2011, p.126).
I have sisters and brothers, but was never raised with any of them. As the only child in the home I was spoiled rotten and was not too keen on sharing much of anything. You can imagine going to kindergarten and learning I had to share. I remember this quite well because it was a traumatic experience for a five year old. The older I got, the more entitled and selfish I became. I can look back on it now as see how I acted, but during that time I actually felt that way.

I have never wanted siblings in my life. Fortunately, the only good thing my own siblings has given me was the movie Cheaper by the Dozen 2. The only thing I got out of it was that being a kid meant you would have a perfect family. Today, I am riveted in watching the movie over and over again because it opened my eyes to the many facts of life. The turning point for me was when Nora Baker, the oldest of twelve kids, gave birth to her newborn.
I had four sisters, one being my twin, and three brothers. Our family was not an ordinary family. Our family was very much out of the ordinary. We were a family that had unique abilities. One ability was mind control.
Family, a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household. Although family is a concretely defined term, the idea of family varies from person to person. But, what makes a family? For those who are surrounded by loving blood relatives, for those who have never known the one to grant them life, for those who have left their blood behind for a more loving and nurturing environment, what can commonly define a family? Family is something defined by the individual. Family includes those who you have come to love, whether platonically or romantically, those you have suffered with, those you have come to respect, and most importantly those you have cared for and in turn have cared for you. To one that could mean people who
I am now the second oldest of six siblings, a challenge that pushes
I have three siblings along with three nephews. I have a younger sister, older sister, and one older brother. My older sister is the one that had my nephews. We all lived under the same roof until I moved out for college. My mother was more like my father in the house because my father was away working for us, and even though my siblings are her children, it seems that they 're her siblings too. It felt that I was the parent of my nephews and little sister because of the way I had to care for them because everyone else was working. I connect with my immediate family firmly. We always look out for each other because we mean so much to one another. I

There are many things to love in life. Family and friends, pets and even hobbies can be loved. While I personally believe that love is a very strong word, I do have things I love. Please join me in learning more about myself as I explain why family and friends have a special place in my heart.
They say grandparents, are the two most favorite people in the world to children. Grandparents are the main characters of your childhood, they are the ones that leave you with the most beautiful memories of your life. Some grandparent’s teach you a very valuable lesson of life, they teach you respect, hard work, family values, and unlimited love. They show you their love in many ways, they say I love you in words as well as actions. Grandparents are the ones that sometimes get you out of trouble and guide you to the correct path. They show you trust, a trust that cannot never be broken.
"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.
There are so many different types of family relationships. Whatever form a family takes; it is an important part of everyone’s life. My family has played an important role in my life. Good family relationships serve as a foundation to interactions with others. Supportive families will help children to thrive. The quality of the family relationship is more important than the size of the family. Making the relationships priority, communication, and providing support for one another is key to developing relationships. Family relationships are what make up our world today; they shape the ways that we see things and the ways that we do things.
