My Family




My Family
            My family is like the typical Latin families who always live together in a home. The kids leave home when they become adults or even until they get marry. They are an essential part of my life. I am thankful to them because of them I exist. I consider them more than just people related to me. We always have people that support us on what we go through but it is not like theirs. They have taught me what respect and love are.
            One day, my mom told me that I might have many friends in life but just only one family. Friends come and go but my family will always be there for me in good and bad times. My parents are always supporting me on what we do, and they give me advices on what I am doing wrong or right. Sometimes, I felt that they get too much into my things, but at the end, I just realized that they do it because they care about me.
            My mom is the most important person in my family. I saw how much she cares for us. She raised my brothers and me just by herself. I remember she told us that what ever problem or differences should not drive us apart because we were brothers. She always wants to have our family together. She taught me to share my things with my brothers as they did with me.
            Sometimes, I want to move out but I just felt that without them, a family, I am nothing. They are the reason the way I am. When I got into college, my parents always supported me continue my education. They always tell me how proud I make them. They are the persons that I look up to and also my motivation to keep pursuing my goal of a better life. In one way or other, they have showed me how much they care about me and what I do. I know that my relationship with each member of my family is different and sometime not good enough. But at the end they are the ones who will always be there supporting me on what I am up to. I consider my self lucky to have all my family together. I think that if I had the chance to choose a family, I would choose them again. My family is what makes me who I am today.

  2. My mom also told me something similar to that.(first line 2nd paragraph) I never took her seriously until I started to realize who my true friends were after high school.
