Family Memory Chapter Summaries

Family is the most important aspect of student success, this is the unit that teaches children how communicate, have good/appropriate social skills, and problem solving skills and this could not be truer than with a special needs child, yet if that child has a sibling this can be to their detriment.

I watched him taking all of his stuff out of the apartment, I was getting more and more mad. Wasn’t our beautiful relationship enough to make him stay?

An-Mei’s mother was estranged from the family for years until Popo got very ill, which is when she returned. An-Mei’s mother’s voice triggers a memory from An-Mei’s childhood of her leaving, and as An-Mei relives the memory, she begins to understand that wounds heal and bad relationships get repaired. An-Mei continues to grow to like her mother when she watches her cut a piece of herself to help Popo. An-Mei’s mother’s action teaches that “pain of the flesh is nothing,” and that no matter how hard An-Mei tries to forget her mother, she cannot do so because they are connected (48). An-Mei’s mother runs “inside [her] bones” (48).

The overlying theme in the fifth period culture projects was family, though not necessarily biological. Many people felt that their families were most important to them, and represented them fittingly- Christian put them on the top step of his staircase, and Cindy made her family picture the largest part of her mobile. Delanie said her family was like her “dugout,” a place that she could always come back to. The sports aspect was also important to most people as sports teams were commonly referred to as a sort of “second family” due to teammates spending time together. Marisa and Brennan both referenced their soccer teams, while Cindy and Delanie focused on their volleyball teams, all stating that they had a special bond with their

Family to Family is an evangelistic tool focused not on the complete stranger in a foreign land, but instead a guide for the family.

Three of my most cherished memories in our minivan are when we went to Disney World, the beach, and the mountains.

No matter how hard I try I will
