Expierence Significant Family Analysis

How you ever feel that we, as sons or daughter tend to repeat our parent mistakes? I have always asked myself why and I still have not have the right answer. For example my mother grew up in a very strict environment when she was a child, with my grandmother and my great grandmother coming from a Japanese Culture; my mother grew up to be a very quiet and reserve young adult. She is really kind, strict, helpful and with a very big heart. Although we had our differences when I was growing up, we get along pretty well. One of the things that stand out from her, it is her stubborn personality. Although she is a really good listener, I always feel that it has to be her way. I believe she is more like her way or the

Enduring hard times. The Sanchez family clearly demonstrate various levels of difficulties while trying to purse you a life in the United States of America. It was not the typical American dream that so many immigrant families anticipated when they landed on this great continent. Therefore, food, income and employment are some factors that were cause for concern.

When creating this diagram I was very confused in how I would represent the generations within my family since I constructed the diagram with my grandparents, my parents, my sisters and I, but also my nephew. It is awesome to see how our family is expanding, but the diagram also allowed me to think of my family in the lens of Family Systems Theory and Therapy.

In my life I have been trough many difficulties, one of the difficult times in my life was my educational past. My educational history has been a bumpy road from elementary to college. When I was younger, I went to a psychiatrist, and I was informed with a learning disability called A.D.D (which is attention deficit disorder) it is the common condition that affects children although, it is more common in adults. Because of my disability, it has been hard to keep up in a big classroom filled with 30 students. It was hard for me to focus with all the distractions that came along with a large classroom. It is a common issue for people who have A.D.D.

When I was about eleven years old my mother was diagnosed with Lyme disease. This is a bacterial infection that is very misdiagnosed. When not caught immediately it becomes a chronic illness with many symptoms and co-infections that can be debilitating. At this time I was being homeschooled by my mother and she was put on bed rest. It got so bad that at this time that when she would get out of bed and walk down stairs to check on me she would sit down and fall asleep right away. This lasted for a couple years and at the time we were attending a homeschool co-op every Monday. I would get my lessons for the week and proceed to then teach myself throughout the weeks. My father worked from home so if or when I had a question about my varying assignments

The family that is being observed for this assignment is headed by a married couple who has been together for a little over 40th years. Cliff Barnes a 61 year old male is married to Amy Barnes 66 years old. Their immediate household composition includes Amy Barnes’s 44 year son from a previous relationship, her 22 year old grandson and the couple’s 15 year old adopted daughter. I have included the immediate family members in the attached genogram because they play a major role in the family dynamics.

Having grown up in an environment littered with plague and filth, Balram’s family was extremely poor. However, his father was a man who did not want his son to suffer the same hardships as he did and advocated for Balram to receive an education. Despite being taught at a school with a teacher that stole the school’s funds instead of buying classroom materials out of desperation from not receiving his payment from the government, the young child was a prodigy who amazed a government inspector with his bountiful array of knowledge while his classmates failed to show any sign of brilliance from attending

I interviewed my friend, Elena. We started out just talking and slowly got into the interview. I tried to make it feel like a conversation, however, some of the terms I had to ask to get a specific answer and example. Elena is unmarried; she is a student at Auburn University. When at home, she lives with her mother, father, older brother, and herself. She is 20 years old, never married, and is a sophomore in college. Her parents, Johnny and Susan, have been married for 28 years, and her older brother Will is 26. He is not married, and he is also a student at Auburn. They live in the same apartment here in Auburn. Both of her maternal grandparents have passed away, and her paternal grandmother is the only grandparent left. All of her cousins, aunts, and uncles are still alive. She was much more willing to talk about her parental side of her family, but I think it was due to the fact she knows more about them.

The Fey family- an old family with an even older bloodline, and a family whose history is marked with bloodshed. The main line of the family has spiraled down straight from the founder of Kurain Village herself, Ami Fey. The family is known for one particular thing: channeling spirits. The Main Line, made up of the firstborn daughters of each new Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique or the daughter with the most spiritual power, in extreme occasions, has been fought over for centuries, the various branch families constantly trying to seize power.

The theory used for this particular family really depends on what was revealed during the assessment. Based on what Sally stated, her family’s weekly schedule is “fairly hectic”, which could make attending regular therapy sessions difficult for everyone. If that is the case, they may benefit from a brief, solution-focused treatment during which the therapist will work with the family to examine alternatives/solutions to their presenting problems as opposed to the underlying root(s) of the issue (Trepper, et al., n.d.). While this modality is not ideal, it would at least provide them with an opportunity to amplify their strengths and resources, which will assist them towards finding a solution to their issue(s).

I couldn’t do anything with any of my friends for about a good 9 weeks as a result of nearly failing Biology in tenth grade with a sixty-five percent. I had to overcome this challenge by working hard to pass all of my classes, and my life has changed for the better with the realization that hard work pays off. That was probably one of the hardest challenges I have had to overcome, and I have to say if I didn’t go through this I still would probably not do very much work at all. Getting left home alone, taught me a

The members of the DeLaughter family have several different personalities. Each member has eccentricities that are ever changing, and each member is different from all of the rest. One of the quirkiest member in the family is Eliot. He is not the average six-year-old, and his interests and personality set him apart from all of the family, making him truly unique.

The illustrations in the The Perfect Percival Priggs depicts the mother hugging the son when he is upset depicting her in a caregiving role, the text further support this it is the mother who says, “Percy, are you all right?’ to which the son responds, “I’m okay, Mom, but I’ve ruined everything! I’ll never be perfect like you and dad”, it is the mother again who laughs and says “Maybe there’s something we should show you…”. The father is illustrated standing to the side however, has no text.

My project can be related to the class because it is about family. It defines what a family is and who family is for different type of people. I specifically drew upon the different types of families. The ones used in my project the nuclear family, extended family, multi-generational family, modified extended family, traditional, and non-traditional family. Many people in my family fit the labels of the different types of family. What I did is what we learned in the class the first week. What a family is. I did not go into certain cultures and values of the family because I did not ask them what their values were. My project can relate to class because it is showing that families in the United States are changing. The United States

Normalcy and routine helped me play my part, but at times it only highlighted my limits. I was switched into a more understanding classroom environment in one such case in fifth grade; there I not only kept pace but also drew appreciation from my peers for my love of learning. My cancer then returned unexpectedly a few months later. It took my weaker eye but brought a surprising opportunity to be open and lighthearted about a life factor I usually downplayed and that was mysterious at best to others. Explaining my experience to an audience of my concerned and curious classmates was an important step outside my comfort zone toward a fuller connection with people. Soon there were more people I would teach. To substitute for physical education, I mentored
