Recommended: Advantages of a small family size

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

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

  • My Family: My Autistic Brother

  • The Three Methods Of Interpersonal Communication In Family Relationships

    1909 Words  | 4 Pages

    We create our families through how we communicate. We use interpersonal communication skills to improve family relationships and to work carefully to bring the family together and be happy. Instead of communicating in ways designed to maintain these relationships, people assume that “your family is always there for you” (McCornack, pg 334).We treat others who are not related to us more favorably than family members. Three methods for managing family relationships are positivity, assurances and self disclosure.

  • Why Is Family Important In Frankenstein

    901 Words  | 2 Pages

    Typically when we think of families, the traditional nuclear and extended family who are biologically related may come to mind. However, a family can be made up of anyone a person considers to be their family. A family shares emotional bonds, common values, goals and responsibilities. Family members contribute significantly to the wellbeing of each other. Confident children tend to come from strong, united families. Good communication within a family encourages feelings of self-worth and helps children maintain good relationships with others. A closeness with extended family members like aunts, uncles, cousins, and family or childhood friends helps give the child a sense of security and a source of love and acceptance. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

  • Subject of Family in Lessing’s Flight, Hughes’ Mother to Son, Kincaid's Girl and Adrienne Rich's Po

    1645 Words  | 4 Pages

    Family as defined by Webster’s College Dictionary can be one of many different people. Family can be your parents, spouse, children, brother, sister, grandmother, uncle, any blood relative, or even people who are not blood related that share that common bond (Webster 475). My definition of family is similar to Webster’s, but I feel that there is more to it than just being a blood relative or close friend. A person’s actions, beliefs, and morals play a major role in deciding who makes it into that “family” group. Family becomes more of an idea or feeling, like love or hate, than just who a person is or where they fall in your family tree. There have been people that I have considered closer than family just by their actions, even though they were nowhere near related to me. Fortunately, I have not had any blood relation family members make me wish they were not in my “family” (maybe my older sister when we were younger, but that doesn’t count). While reading from Children and Families in our text, I came across many readings that I feel were inspired in many different ways by what the author believed was “family.” There were two readings that jumped out at me and reminded me of my view of how a family should be in their interactions with each other. They were the short story “Flight” by Doris Lessing and the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes. There was also one writing that I read that went against my idea of family and made me happy that this wasn’t the way that my family acted as I grew up, that was “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid. And while some authors lean their writing one direction or another, Adrienn...

    My family has always been there for me which is why I took our family photo for my art project. Even though we can get under each other’s skin sometimes at the end of the day we all still love each other and have one another to talk to and to blow steam off of. Like in the books how Izzie and Mira went to their mom for help I go to my mom for help all the time. Mira’s brothers were there to watch out for them when it came to boys and dating. I hate to say it but my little brother and younger guy cousins have gone on dates with me and my boyfriend’s more than anyone.

    Who is the most significant person in my life? Well, that is easy enough to answer. However, there is not just one significant person that is in my life. My mother and father are the most important people in my life. I couldn 't possibly just pick one of them to write about because they both mean so much to me, and there is so much to tell about the two of them. From cuts and bruises all the way up to the major stuff, such a broken heart, they have always been there to patch me up, and repair the broken heart. They are my shoulder to cry on, and my motivation when I feel like I can’t handle life. I would definitely not be the person I am today without the two of them. I’d consider myself lucky to be half the person that they are.

  • My Family

    651 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

  • My Family: My Mother, My Role Model

    1007 Words  | 3 Pages

    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.

    One thing that has really taught me a lot in my life is the opportunity to see how my family is able to function properly, a majority of the time, with the completely different personalities that inhabit it. The two people that are unlike each other the most would be my parents. My mother is very reserved; however she can still be strict. Regardless, she always this loving look in her eyes. My father on the other hand is quite the jokester. He cracks jokes about everything, but he can be a very serious person when it comes time for it. My dad is easier to get things out of, such as money and permission. It is amazing to see how 2 different personalities can have such a strong relationship, almost 18 years!
