Family Misadventures

My family history is full of generational curses (at least that what my family calls it). From what I know my mother’s side of the family migrated to California from Louisiana in 1930’s. Unfortunately, this didn’t involve my grandmother (Bobbie Smith) who was left behind to be reared by some else until the age of 21. In the late 1960’s, she moved to California along with her 2 daughters and leaving 1 daughter (my mother) behind in Louisiana to be reared and adopted by Idella & Curly Welcome. Idella worked as a maid and Curly worked in the sawmill. Idella and Curly were fortunate enough to purchase a small piece of land in Pineville, Louisiana where they built a home. In addition, they planted their own vegetable garden and raised ducks, chickens,

Many people like to go camping during Spring Break to enjoy nature;however, others go for the experience or family time together. Camping is a way for you to let go and just be one with nature.Even though nature may not be one with you.When camping the fast-paced world slows down and you can really relax and focus on other things.

The sparks fly in the air, there are marshmallows in your hair, and you’re with your favorite people in the world. This is called the best place on earth, for me at least. I enjoy camping so very much, you meet new people, experience different things, make new memories, and have a blast. You also see new sights, smell some things, and always wake up to the birds singing and not the bustling streets of the city. Camping is my go to activity.

On 02/26/2016 client Gregory Spencer came to the SSO for a House Meeting with HS De La Torre. The purpose of the meeting was to develp a Housing Plan and explore other possible housing opportunities.

Camping is a great recreation for the whole family and a wonderful way to spend a week or a weekend. There are plenty of great camping within an easy drive from where you live. These easy drive camping destinations offer many options for hikers and bikers, horseback riders and boaters. There are also many events throughout the camping season, so be sure to check those out while planning your trip.

The word migration can have a very different meaning to each individual. In the dictionary it is defined as the movement of people from one country or locality to another. I now see the word with such a deeper meaning no only is it the group of people moving, but in fact how they moved and the struggles they had to go through. Before I sat down with both of my parent and asked them about my “roots” I had no idea how difficult migration from Mexico to the US was for both of my parents families. I never took the time to listen to little details on how exactly they ended up in this country. After I took the time to listen to my elder relatives and parents talk about how they use to

did the same thing in some agency they do not let you accept anything even if it is tradition in the family. Walt would of course have to turn them down more politely. Later in the movie we see that the family keep bringing food to Walt and he said no once again if they kept insisting Welt might have had to ask for the family to be transferred to a new social worker because the relationship wouldn't work (Karen K. Kirst-Ashman,1970). Furthermore, as the movie progresses we see that Walt starts to become a type of mentor to Thao. Walt asked him what would he like to become in the future and he said he would like to become a lawyer and Walt told him that his sun is a lawyer he told him that he doesn't think he will become one.

I am not like other people where I’ve had difficulties with my family but I have had one major struggle that has impacted my life. It did not affect me for just one summer it will be affecting me for the rest of my life. The exceptional hardship I have had was when I broke my leg in five places and had to overcome the difficulties of getting better. It was such a difficult experience because it affected my love of playing basketball. However, that experience led me on my path in pursuing a career in Sports Medicine. Breaking my leg was awful but it helped me think about what I wanted to study when I go into college.

Traditions are really important in my family it brings us all together in a fun way. One of my families many traditions is on the Fourth of July we have a big party for my mom’s side of the family. We get together and we have hot dogs, burgers,and chips. We play volleyball, kickball ,and talk till it’s dark then set off fireworks.

Traditions and customs can bring people together and make us forget about the problems we have in just one or more moments. And it might be grate to meet the family again if you live alone in a house or flat and you have not seen the family for a good while so there is where the traditions and customs get in so you can meet the people you love and have some fun times.

Every summer our family goes on a camping trip. My mom plans it with four other families and we usually end up having around ten adults and fourteen kids, with the children’s ages ranging from seven to fifteen. This year, there was an extra event that involved chaos, but, also ensured the fact that our family will probably NEVER be going back to Wallowa Lake again...at least not a trip that involves camping there.

Tradition is a trait that can be found in every family throughout the world. This is particularly true for my family as I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. Of all the traditions that my family had while I grew up, the one that sticks out most in my mind is spending time with my family on Sunday afternoons and holidays either playing games with my cousins, eating food fresh off the grill, watching holiday fireworks, or learning more about my family history than I already knew. Therefore, my family tradition has a rich historical perspective, high importance, and great effects on me to this day.

A dysfunctional family is a group of people usually related by some means, not always necessarily by blood, in which conflict, misbehavior, maltreatment and neglecting create a hostile life for its members. To explain this idea better we will see the definition of family, the differences between a healthy and a dysfunctional family; their characteristics and behavioral patterns. Some examples will help us examine this issue better, taking us to discuss the different factors that contribute to the formation of such families, along with its consequences in today’s society.

Camping is, of course, one of my favorite activities in the summer, fall, spring and, well.. pretty much every season.

It is important to have good company in order to make the camping trip worthwhile and full of memory-making opportunities. It can also be great for those who prefer to have some peace and quiet time alone. This also gives us a moment to witness and experience nature first hand, and to take a break from all the distractions of the faster pace lifestyle. Camping is an opportunity to get away from the usual day to day routine and to get involved with something new and exciting.
