Outstanding. Families come in many sizes, and in my case, my family’s size is at least an extra large. My dad had 8 siblings, so I have a total of 16 aunts and uncles on my dad’s side, and too many cousins for me to count. Although my mom only has one sister, that one sister has 8 kids. Not only do I have a large extended family, but I also have a lot of siblings myself, 7 siblings to be exact. With such an extravagant family, it is quite hard to get to know everyone, so, though I may not be close with everyone in my family, there are three people in my family who stand out quite greatly, and everyone knows of them, for the better. First, My oldest brother, Sean. He is one interesting individual. Not only is he very tall, 6’4, and a ginger, but he also has a personality that is quite out there. He loves to make people laugh. Whether dressing up as a women, or finding extraordinary pranks to pull on my family, he’s always been the person that loves to make people laugh. Along with being just plain goofy, he takes …show more content…
Being only four years old, of course she is going to be different from most of my family members. I’m used to my cousins who are my age or older, or my uncles who are now grandpas. Isabelle isn’t like other children her age though. Isabelle thinks. She wants to learn all about the world before she has even started school. She uses simple forms of deductive reasoning. She always wants to understand what is going on around her. When my mom had surgery, Isabelle asked several questions about what my mom was going through. She cared about what my mom was feeling. Whenever someone writes in front of her, she asks what they are writing, why they are writing, and how can she learn to write with them. Isabelle fascinates me. The way she craves knowledge is inspirational, and unlike most of the people in my family and unlike other children I have met her age. Isabelle
Growing up, in a Mexican-American home, one of the first things that my siblings and I learned from home and social gatherings was that family is crucial. At family reunions, we would catch up with cousins that we did not get a chance to see in several months sometimes years. Most of my cousins are around my age, which made family reunions even better. Now, that most of us in the extended family have graduated high school, some began to go get a higher education, and
As a child, I often avoided confrontation by keeping my opinions to myself, no matter how offensive someone was. But when someone directed negative comments toward my autistic brother who could not defend himself, I lost my self-control. Witnessing the struggles Bo has gone through, I feel it is cruel and ignominious to belittle the battles autistic children deal with daily. I share this story to help disclose the need to treat others with the courtesy we all deserve.
Family is central to a person’s identity. They are the first people with whom one interacts and they are the people that one, generally, knows best. Because
The Mudd-McCrady family has many extended family members but my immediate family is very small and close knit. Growing up, my cousins were my best friends. Some were closer than others, but family and church have shaped who I am today and only grow more precious as the years pass.
The 1960s series The Addams Family showed a very good example of an extended family. The extended family included Gomez Addams (an eccentric cigar-smoking millionaire lawyer), Morticia (his slender wife), Pugsley (their son), Wednesday (their little girl), Grandmama Addams, Uncle Fester, Cousin It, and Lurch (the family’s zombie butler). Other people residing in the household included Thing (a disembodied hand), Kit Kat (a cowardly lion), and Cleopatra (an African strangling plant). These are all different members of one big family that have come to live together to be a perf...
My family is a little different than most. I have two families; I have my mother’s side, which I live with, and I have my father’s side, which I only see about once a year. My families are
Right next to food, family is the most important thing in Italian culture. My mother was born and raised in Naples, Italy and lived with her mother and three siblings after her father passed away when she was only six years old. My mother and my grandmother had a very close bond, the same bond my mother and I share now. My grandmother was a very hands on type of mom my mother tells me. Like most mothers, her children were her pride and joy. My mother’s most vivid memories of her childhood involve my grandmother teaching her how to make tiramisu and lasagna. Practices my mother has now passed onto me. Aside from the cooking lessons, my mother also taught me what it means to be a women. Being independent, never giving up, and working for what
The denotation of the word hero is "a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities". To some, that person may be George Washington, Batman, or even Peter Griffin. My hero, though, is my grandfather, D.S. Patel. My grandfather, from my mother's side of the family, is a wise, nice, caring sixty-year old man. Vocationally, he works as a civil engineer for the state of Indiana. How can a sixty-year old civil engineer be a hero? Let's find out how strangers see him as a hero, and how I see him as a hero.
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
The stress of my day drained away the moment I heard my sister’s laughter. Every other noise would vibrate in the eardrum and make me feel like I was about to topple over. I reached out for her, the warm, small palms fitting entirely in mine. When she flashes an innocent smile in my direction, I cannot not help but feel grateful I have her around. Although she does not understand it, I attribute my determination to succeed to her.
Have you ever been influenced by some important person that helped you be the person that you are today? I have been. The people that have had influence on me are the most important humans beings, my family. But before I begin talking about my family, I want to describe to you the place that we spend most of the time together which also means something important to me and my family. This place is called the family room. This room is small but cozy. It is painted in white and has three windows decorated with beautiful curtains. By the windows you can appreciate a nice view of some beautiful trees and a nice pool. On the walls there are some family photos like the ones that show where my brothers and I were born, my graduation photo, some family members photos like my grandparents, and some paintings made by one of my brothers. Also inside this room there is a nice home theater that includes a nice stereo and TV, and a new compact computer. But this is not all, this room has some very comfortable furniture and I can say that they are comfortable because I use them to watch TV, a movie, or just sit and rest. Also the furniture is used by my brothers to sit and play nitendo, to study, or play with the computer. But from all this furniture there is one chair that is the most cozy chair that I have ever sat upon and that is my father's chair. So this is our room, which is very important to us and has a lot of special things, but the most special part of this room is when it brings my family together.
My niece Celine is three years old; she has brown wavy hair and brown eyes with long black eyelashes. She is the youngest out of her two siblings. According to her mother, Celine is very smart and acts older than her age. Her father states, Celine is her daddy’s little princess because she gets a special treatment from him. Her siblings say, Celine respects and defends them whenever they are in trouble. She does not like being yelled at or being punished no matter what she does. Her oldest sister, Zeina; says that no matter how much they fight with each other, Celine always looks up to her and asks to play with her. Celine is stubborn at times, but obeys the house rules and listens to what everyone has to say. She usually waits for the person who gets her angry, to go over to her, and cheer her up. If they take long; she comes towards them and makes sure they know that she is upset. According to her older brother, Lucas; she annoys him most of the time, but at the end of the day, she is still his cute baby sister and he loves to play “Tag you are It” with her. For a three year old, her mother says that Celine has an amazing personality; she is genuine, loving, and friendly. Also, she spoke her first...
Many of us have role models in our lives and to most people role models are athletes and movie stars, but to me a role model is much more. To me a role model is a person who has positively influenced someone in life, and is not a person filled with selfishness and greed. They help shape someone’s personality, and characteristics. They are people who someone can look up to for advice in a hard situation, and know that they will give those words of wisdom. They will never judge our past actions, instead only look to help because they really care. A role model is someone who we should never feel awkward talking to about our problems. A perfect role model for me is my mother. She is a wonderful human being. She’s smart, wise, ambitious, patient and such a loving person. There are no words that can describe my gratitude towards her, but through this essay I will describe some of her characteristics that makes her my role model.
"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.
