My First Family

I am the rock of support in my family. I always go beyond my parents’ expectations. I also support my younger cousins and little brother, by being a role model that they can look up to. Another reason why I’m known as a rock of support is the fact how I am always there for my family during the ups and downs of life. One reason why I’m known as a rock of support in my family is the fact that I always do what I’m told to do, by my parents.

These people that surrounded me with this love have taught me not only to love them, but myself and hopefully a special someone in the future as well. My family is composed of people who are extremely close knit. After all this time, I have come to learn that family is one of the most important accessories in the package of life. I have been put in many different situations with my family, whether or not they are good or bad, we always seem to get through them together. I guess one could say that I look at my family as a team.

In order for a family to be strong you need to communicate, always be honest with one another, show love every chance you get, have compassion for one another and those who cross our paths through life and have forgiveness. He was always the first person in our family to step up and help if one of us was in need. He loved us deeply and always showed it. This is one of the values I hold deep to my heart. Family is very

Having a relationship with someone can have a big impact in our life, whether it’s good or bad. I’ve experienced both. Most importantly, the good relationships I’ve had with others shape who I am today, and those people are my family and friends. The word family is very fervid. Family is a bond between individuals that cannot be broken.

That bond is stronger than anything else in my life, and it always will be even though my dad passed away just over a year ago. The reason my father had such a strong impact on my life was because of his many great traits. My father was kind, and he showed it with my immediate family, his

Family in society holds great importance in our lives. Considered as a foundation in society, it is what forges a community together. Family is the utmost important thing in everybody’s lives. I’m not only talking about biological family but also close friends who we call brothers and sisters. Family to me is a powerful word that enables us to bring each other together.

The marital subsystem between my parents in many ways is “fluid” (Eleanor Lynch 79) and overlap with the parental subsystem, as well as the sibling subsystem. My parents have always included their decisions, even financial ones, with my brother and I. We always evaluate big “life-altering” decisions together, which I think really allows children growing up to feel a sense of belonging and responsibility – choices allow independence. The interactions between my parental subsystems with my parents differ from that with my sibling’s subsystem with my parents. My parents are much more trusting of my input and output I think due to my ongoing dedication to education, work, and responsibilities, where as my brother’s choice as an adult to drop out of college really disappointed them.

With this style he captured my trust and respect; never letting me down. Furthermore, it was my mother's permissive parenting that undeniably contributed towards my love and gratitude for her. There were also instances where my parents influenced my life both positively and negatively. Nevertheless, I am forever grateful for having my parents in my life, for they contributed (and continue to contribute) towards my success as a growing adult. In all possible words that I may choose to describe the relationship with my father, the one word that accurately expresses the emotion that has accrued throughout the years would be "admirable."

One’s childhood plays a vital role in shaping a person’s life. One’s home environment shapes a person throughout their entire life, and a stable home life makes a person feel safe and shapes who they are. Many clichés exist describing the home such as, “the home is where the heart is,” and I tend to agree with this perspective. I have been extremely blessed my whole life with an incredible and loving family and stable home life. We all can get caught up in today 's society with being unsatisfied because we want bigger and better, but my parents have really worked hard to help me appreciate what blessings we have been given.
