My immediate family is composed of my mom, my brother, and me. We are a lower-income family living paycheck to paycheck. Often times we have to use food stamps or other resources to make ends meet. Over the course of my life, I have witnessed my family struggle financially, and have been homeless three times. Whenever I face a challenge, I see how I can grow from it and how I can take the opportunity to become a better person. Some of my most influential struggles have been ones I have faced involving my mom, my brother, and my education. The most important person in my life is my brother. I am a very independent child raised by a single parent. I was very responsible because I have taken care of my brother and attend parent events for him while my mom works. Every morning, I wake him up, get him dressed, and help him with whatever he needs. At times, taking care of him has been very difficult. At thirteen, he was diagnosed with Autism. Having Spectrum Autism means that my brother often has fits of uncontrollable crying, yelling, and screaming, especially in the morning. Some days I go into the room he shares with my mom to wake him up, and he starts yelling at me. Those types of mornings are frustrating, but I have learned to not take things personally. I am only now able to understand the source of his meltdowns and the positive way they helped me to develop patience, compassion, and the ability to problem solve. …show more content…
She always encouraged me to focus on my academics and strive for greatness. Last year, she had an infected gallbladder that had to be removed.

Family is made up of both strengths and stresses. Families cannot have one of these factors without the other. Even the most dysfunctional families have some strengths that keep them united, while the most united families have some stress. Let’s take the Kardashian for example. When Kim Kardashian West was robbed of her jewelry worth nearly 9 million dollars, while that’s a big stress how her husband Kanye West reacted and walked off the stage in the middle of concert in Queen to check on her when he heard his wife has been robbed is a strength, it shows how they have a bond that could last.
The development of nursing theories has provided a perspective in which one can define the purpose of nursing, when nursing is required, and establish the parameters and goals of therapeutic nursing activities (Ahmed,2001). A nursing theory is defined "as concepts, definitions, relationships, and assumptions derived from nursing models or from other disciplines and project a purposive, systematic view of phenomena by designing specific inter-relationships among concepts for the purposes of describing, explaining and predicting the phenomena of nursing” (Boxer & Jones, 2010). In addition, nursing theories provide frameworks through which nurses can examine various situations. As nurses encounter new situations, these frameworks provide a structure for organization, analysis, decision making and communication (Ahmed, 2001). The following paper will discuss the middle range nursing theory of Family Stress and Adaptation by Geri LoBiondo-Wood, and how it relates to patient care and guides nursing practice.
The conflict I have picked for this certain paper is a family that is having multiple issues with multiple people. This problem can easily occur out in the real life world. There are two sides to this problem and after arguing with her boss for a while she has finally gave in and let her have only work a couple nights a week overtime. This conflict can be either smaller or even larger then what is stated in this paper.
There have been a few people besides my parents who have influenced me in my life. The first person that has influenced me in my life is my older brother Wala. He has taught me to not care what people think of me and how to stand up for myself. Growing up, I have always been closer to him than my other brothers.
My first year as a student, I called my mother every day, telling her everything that happened, whether it was good or bad, she knew. My freshmen year was the roughest academic year I have experienced, I cried and went home every week and each time I went home my mother was there praying and fasting on my behave. She was there to remind me not to run away from my academics, but to face them with faith and passion. This was not an easy task, but with her motivating me, praying for me and giving me encouraging words throughout the semester, nothing seemed
As the youngest of five children she was often overlooked. The pride of the family often overrode the opportunity to receive health care, handouts and a decent chance to become something. My mother spent her childhood in a tiny house with her family and many relatives. She was never given the opportunities to excel in learning and life like my generation has. My grandfather was a carpenter and on that living fed many hungry mouths. But despite this already unfortunate lifestyle my mother maintained good grades and was on a path to overcoming her misfortune.
She has helped me through both the good times and bad. She is an encouraging woman who has taught me to keep fighting even in the toughest times when I've felt overwhelmed with school and friends. She is an amazing person who always puts her loved ones before herself. Not only does my mom work full time during the week, she also has a part time job that she does after hours and on weekends, and all while studying to get her Associates Degree in Financial Management.
Extended Family Relations. Having said that there is a difference in the family setting between the local and the foreign families, with the Filipinos dealing with extended family ties and the foreign families which dwell more on nuclear family setting. Being exposed to both might be confusing for a biracial person especially at an early age. However, with regards to the participants’ experiences, there emerged both positive and negative implications. Moreover, there is also a struggle towards socialization especially when some of the participants practice avoidance of socialization with their other family members through gatherings and family reunions. On the other hand, there also emerged positive family relations. Since most of the participants
My family consists of my mother, father, and myself. I was adopted at birth and was raised by a family member
There are many important considerations that teachers should take into account with families and even more so with families whose children are exhibiting challenging Behavior. The three considerations that I think are very important are culture, attachment, and home life. Culture is by far the largest. There are many differences between the European American culture and other cultures such as the Latino culture. Where one culture values Independence the other can value interdependence. Understanding the child's culture could explain certain behaviors. For example in some cultures they ask questions that are more opinion based such as how does the color blue make you feel, versus pointing at something blue and asking what color is it. The child may get very confused why you're asking such a simple question and might not answer it leading to the teacher believing that the child does not know the color. The second is attachment. Attachment by no means defines the child, but it can point in the general direction of the child's behaviors. The child might be
I believe a healthy family environment is crucial to success. My family has supported me through the decisions I have made. Because of this, I have the tools to be successful. My immediate family includes my older sister, my father, and my mother. Originally, my parents are from Iran.
Nowadays, there are more and more extended families appear in the word. The extended family refers to the multi-generation people living in a family, and usually has three or more generations. In ordinary families, it is usually only parents and children who live together, but in multi-generational families, three or more generations of grandparents live in the family. Living environment has many influences on people's living habits and character behavior.
While in school, Mom didn’t have it to easy. Not only did she raise a daughter and take care of a husband, she had to deal with numerous setbacks. These included such things as my father suffering a heart attack and going on to have a triple by-pass, she herself went through an emergency surgery, which sat her a semester behind, and her father also suffered a heart attack. Mom not only dealt with these setbacks but she had the everyday task of things like cooking dinner, cleaning the house and raising a family. I don’t know how she managed it all, but somehow she did.
In the end, my family as a whole is the reason that I am the person that I am today. It’s the way that different personalities all come together as one, the way my family handles hard situations, and the closeness I have with them that has really impact me and my life. I know that I would not be as cheerful, hardworking, or positive without seeing all these qualities around me for a majority of my life. It’s astonishing how just 6 people can change you for the better. I know I would be in a very different place in my life if it wasn’t for my family. Family is different for everyone, and mine is truly the best people for me.
