Growing up in the small town of New Boston, with a close family unit, has definitely had a positive impact on my life. Support from the town, my family, and the Church of Christ has been given not only to me, but also to anyone in need. Between the festivities of our small town, frequent family gatherings, and Sunday and Wednesday church services with my church family, I have grown into the person I am today. Population signs can be seen at every entrance to New Boston, which could count for the reason I know the population of my small town is 4,808. When living in a small town, you learn many trivial pieces of information, that could prove to be helpful. I know the roads like the back of my hand and taking Pee Road (yes, there is a story …show more content…
Marli, my youngest sister, is definitely the life of the party. She loves attention and is convinced she’s going to the Olympics. I tell her if there were a drama queen competition at the Olympics she will be a gold medalist, but until she finds another talent, she may need to pick a new dream. My other sister, Mckenzee, is only thirteen months younger than me. We fight, a whole lot, but most of the time she is my best friend. My family pushes me to be the best I can be at everything. If I am ever doing something wrong, they do not hesitate to offer constructive criticism. This support has pushed me to succeed in all I do. Apart from my immediate family, I am blessed with a large extended family. My mom’s side of the family is pretty spread out so there are not many family gatherings, but the fellowship I lack with them is made up from the amount of time I spend with my dad’s family. They all live in New Boston, which makes it easy to see at least one relative, outside of my immediate family, everyday. My family is my support system. They make up most of the crowd in the stands at all of my sporting events. Anytime someone achieves something worth celebrating, we celebrate. From the birthday parties at the cabin, weekly outings to Maria’s, yearly family vacations, and laughs always shared, I have learned that family is the most important thing someone can have. Families are always there for each other and I hope to have a family of my own as close as the one I grew up
My sister is the individual I go to when I require somebody to converse with, the person who is dependably there and recognizes what to say. My more established sister has affected who I am by showing me the estimation of pride and diligent work and like whatever other more seasoned sister she has been a good example. She would wear something blue so there I was attempting to discover something near to that shading and style; even thought she would get distraught. I grew up seeing her desire for mulling over and buckling down. This taught me that through diligent work anything is
Growing up on the south side of Chicago in the roughest neighborhood in the city I learned a lot from others and just observing my surroundings. At times, I would always think to myself my situation could always be worse than it was, and that there is always someone who is doing worst off than me. But my situation turned from being in a bad position to being in a position where my mother would come to lose her mother and our home that we had been living in, all in the same year. After losing her mother and bother my mom lost herself in her emotions and shut down on everyone and with that came the loss of a home for me and my siblings and her job. Shortly after my mom began to go back to church and so did we. It was the first time in a log time that we had attended church and it played a big part in a learning experience for me and my siblings. Through the days that came to pass going to church sparked a desire of wanting to help others who had or are struggling to get by. My mentor, Pastor, and teacher deserves appreciation for helping my mother through a hard time and keeping me and my siblings active in a positive manor.
It seems that every sibling doesn’t always have a great relationship with their older or younger siblings. In the movie “Real Women Have Curves”, we have two sisters, Anna and Estella,who seem not to get along in the beginning because of their differences, but at the end they become the best of friends because they have similar dreams and learn to support each other. The advantage of Anna and Estella’s relationship is that they benefit from each other. The whole story is that you don’t always realize how much you have in common with your siblings until you realize that you have similar dreams and can be there for each other.
Living and growing up in a small town is better than doing so in a big city.
I believe it is best to grow up in a small town. Growing up in a small town has many benefits. If you grow up in a small town, chances are that the town is quiet and peaceful. Plus everything is close together, including restaurants and stores. Traffic will also not be as bad in a small town.
When I was born, my 3 year old brother, Ronny, bored that I was not the playmate he envisioned, proposed to throw me down the garbage chute in our Manhattan high rise. When my younger brother, Nicky, arrived I held no animosity towards him. Sandwiched between 2 strong willed brothers, I am naturally inclined to get along with everyone. My mother loves to brag she had to maintain a waitlist of playdates for me; she claims I was the most sought after playdate. That’s my mom for you. We moved from Manhattan to Southern California when I was 6. My dad is very sports centric and baseball became our community. Since then I have moved onto tennis and captained my high school team since sophomore year. Where one sport relied on team work
Have you ever wondered how your ancestors have changed the way you are? I did and I got some intriguing stories, but my favorite story was how I was seven years old and my mom Holly and my soon to be dad Dustin moved in with each other and I got to be blessed with a baby sister. My mom and I moved from Idalia CO to Wheatland WY. It took all of my close family to help us move. Although it was a very long ad had some major adjustments from seeing my grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins often to seeing them five times a year. I’m glad my mom decided to take that risk. My mom has impacted me because she showed me don’t be afraid to make changes, take risks, and you can do it on your own.
Although some people believe growing up in small towns is better growing up in larger cities is better, growing up in large cities is much better because you get more opportunities of doing things you couldn’t in small towns, you have more social activity in the big city than the small town, and you have bigger areas to explore around than traveling same spaces each time in a small town. Who wants to run out of gas before making it into town in a small town when you can just call the taxi?
I moved from Wisconsin to California. It was a difficult decision that changed my perspective of this world and strengthened me. I felt afraid and alone. But it was through my struggles that I learned to help others and the significance of putting their needs in front of my own selfish desires. By joining my local church and high school activities, I learned what community means to me and how I can make an impact and encourage others to do the same.
My parents, sacred places I like to visit, and knowledge that God is with me continue to make a difference in my Christian life. I know that as I grow older I will continue to have experiences that show me God is present in my world. I hope I can continue to be a good and positive influence on those around me so that I can help them to see God’s presence as well.
Ever since I was little, I have always been raised in the church. My mom would take my brother and I every Sunday, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening. Going to church, three days a week for seventeen years, has really impacted my life, it makes me feel better about myself. For example, if I am ever going though a rough time, church reminds me to stay strong and that God is always there for me, no matter what. It also makes me feel happy to be alive and be glad to have the life that I live because a lot of people are not as fortunate as I. Since I have been in church, I have contributed a lot of my time helping out. I have made plenty of boxes for members, at my church, to put donations in for the charity work we do. I have helped maintain
Imagine growing up in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business and the nearest Wal-Mart is almost an hour away; then imagine attending a school where the amount of student attending is the same number of people who reside in that small town pictured at the beginning of this sentence. The size difference is substantial and plays an important part. When searching for a university or college one looks at the class size. Do they want to have a class of thirty or would a class of a couple hundred student be okay? People ask these questions because it affects their ability to learn.
Growing up in a small town gives people the opportunity to meet new friends. Living in a small town is a much safer place than a big city. It’s better to grow up in a small town than it is to grow up in a big city. There are many advantages in growing up in a small town. First, there are not as many people living in a small town; therefore, there are less traffic jams and wrecks.
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
My brothers and sister are the best motivation to me. It is not every day that we get along but when we do then it is a good day. Every day they make me want do better, not only for myself but for my mom and them also. They encourage me to do better now so that my future is bright later on. Family is always the best to have on your team especially for their support because they genuinely mean it and you know that it is coming from their heart. I know I can count on all my brothers and sister to be there for me when no one else is because they are family. I hate that they are growing every day and getting older to experience the real life. I hope even later on they will all still support me and we will not drift apart like I know
