Tell me about your family There are six people in my family. This includes my husband Jason and our four children. Their names are Tyler, Paige, Lyla, and Hayden. Tyler and Paige are from my first marriage and Lyla and Hayden are from my marriage with Jason. We also have two cats, named Gizmo and Elizabeth. Our house is very full, but we love it because it is always warm and welcoming. (Becky’s family is blended because of her two marriages. This is different from my family because my sisters and I all grew up with the same mother and father). Is having a blended family tough? No, I would not say so. My previous husband and I have a positive relationship and just want what is best for our kids. We both know that us being married is not a good idea, but we can still remain friends so our children can benefit and not be stressed out about whose side to take. My current husband also gets along with my ex-husband which helps to keep our families civil. My ex-husband will always be in my life because of my first two kids, but as long as we are civil and can work together it will only benefit our children. Tell me about your child (children)? My oldest son is Tyler. He is fourteen years old and a freshman in high school. He is a very smart and laid back person. Tyler also enjoys playing travel baseball. My second child is my daughter Paige. She is very smart and a very talented dancer. She has been dancing since …show more content…
I found this interview very interesting because of the way her family is blended. Becky has two children from one marriage and two from another. This is different from my family because my sisters and I all have the same father and mother. She provided a lot of insight on what goes on in her day to day life and how she keeps a big family in check. I was able to learn more about her school district and how her family has enjoyed their schooling
My family consists of a short generation. My parents, Gina and Darrell, are divorced. I am the oldest and I have a younger brother, Kyle. My mom’s side of the family is the Cox family. My mom is the oldest of five.
The second family that I interviewed was the Lyles family. Both Bro. Scotty, the father, and Mrs. Yolanda, the mother, participated in the interview and three of their children were in the room. Bro. Scotty was born and raised in Alba, Texas on the very same tree farm that he owns and operates today; he is also a deacon at our church. However, Mrs. Yolanda was born and raised in Guatemala. As a child she was raised Catholic, and is part of a large and growing family. She is one of eight children. Their family as well as anybody else in that culture celebrated their daughter’s 15th birthday with a Quinceañera which marked the transition from childhood to young womanhood. This was traditionally the first time the girls would wear make-up, nice
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
For that, I interviewed my boss, Karen. I see her almost every work day but there were still many things I wanted to ask her about. I knew that she had been married to a man before she met her wife, and that she still had his last name even after separating and remarrying. I also knew that her father was a Methodist minister and performed her marriage ceremony back when he could’ve gotten in a lot of hot water for doing so. I knew that she was adopted, too. But the rest of her life, the in-between moments, were still a mystery to me. So, I really enjoyed that interview. As you can tell from the transcription, we laughed a lot and got along well. I think she felt comfortable and she told me later that she had enjoyed talking with me. I also came more prepared and with more questions. It was hard to do my initial research on my student interviewee because there wasn’t a lot of prior information that I could find about her. With Karen, I not only had my own prior information, but she is also easily found on the internet. A lot of that has to do with her age and the businesses she has been involved
William Porter( live with my mum, my dad, and my three younger brothers: Thorn (6 yrs), Enzo(3 yrs), and Finn (11 mths).
She interviewed couples who received fertility treatment from Kent University Hospital (Provoost). She interviewed families with a father who did not have good quality sperm, lesbian couples and the children of those families. When interviewing the children she wanted to know how those children defined concept like parenthood and family (Provoost). She drew and apple tree to make them feel more comfortable. She starts off with an empty apple tree and she asked them to fill in the tree as if their family was apples. They would take a paper apple for every family member and put a name on it. She would then ask questions proving that most of the kids knew about their father and were thankful for them and put the donor on the trunk. This is because the donor formed the family and without him they would not be here. This is not the only thing that was a great part of her speech another one would be her
Initially, beginning this assignment I wasn 't sure what to expect. My extended family and I are not very close. It was difficult for me to have to reach out to people to find out information for this assignment. When I first began to research my family history it was very difficult for me and brought up a lot of emotions, as I had recently just lost a grandparent on each side of my family. Unfortunately, both of those grandparents who passed had many of the answers I needed for this assignment. When gathering information I sought out family members from my mom 's side and from my father 's side of the family. Upon trying to gather information I quickly realized that communication is lacking on both sides of my family. I actually received some push back and concerns regarding why I was interested in “digging up people’s business”.
My family consists of my mother, father, and myself. I was adopted at birth and was raised by a family member
My time spent with her was interesting as I was constantly comparing her responses and connecting them to my own personal experiences. I was very interested to find numerous similarities, such as having close family connections. I feel as if we had more similarities rather than differences, considering we were raised in different locations. Paula had a great life, although she had struggled to adjust to the culture of the United States. After the interview with Paula, I realized that we do not take time to know our neighbor.
Everyone seems to define family differently, however, the significance of family is the same. For you, family means everything. You can always count on your parents and siblings for help and love. Family is very valuable and important to you and should never be taken for granted. No one can deny that family is the foundation of our generation. A family is where we all start our life journey and helps us grow to be successful throughout our lives.
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.
There are a total of seven people that makes up my whole family, including myself. I have one father, one mother, three brothers and one sister. I am the fourth child amongst my siblings.
In this discussion, I will be explaining how I define family. I will also include my immediate and extended family. I will also describe what family means to me, how mine differs from other families in my neighborhood, and also how they are similar. I will also describe my family’s ethnicity and how it may affect any of my family’s health.
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.
This assignment was quite interesting as I had a chance to sit down and actually talk with my parents about their specific views and attitudes on several topics. The values that I believe in play a very important role in my life. These important values have been greatly influences by my family. Our parents are the ones who first instilled values into us. As I grew up, where we loving our friends and life experiences helped us refine our own values.
