Family Reflection Paper

I interviewed three different family member of all different age that have experienced my family culture in their own way. For my interview I interviewed My mother Okala Mundeke. She is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo but she moved to America when she was 35 years old and she is now 50 years old. She has grown up mostly in Congo so she has a strong knowledge of our heritage and family history since she was around it more.. My sister Emmanuella Kalonda she was born in the congo but has little memory of it since she was less than a year old when she came to america. she is currently sixteen years old. But she was raised with my mother learning about family and our culture. My next candidate is my other sister Jocelyn Fetner

They are on a regular diet with few restrictions on fried foods and fat intake. The children eat school lunch and the parents from outside restaurant choices. Mom tries to cook a meal a day after work or they seldom eat Subway or Pizza Hut. No variation in weight gain or weight loss reported. They try to eat dinner as a family at home on a regular basis. However, this was not feasible all of the time due to dad’s late night work hours and CH basketball practices after school. They generally get 6-7 hours of sleep per night and denied any sleep deprivation. No exercise program has been implemented by this family. CH is the only physically, athletic member. DH stated that he likes to ride his bike. The children are active in Sunday school and participate in summer camp.

Beloved Family! It has been a joy partaking together for this 21 Days of Consecration. My heart rejoices over the personal testimonies received from many of you resulting from this 21 Days of Consecration. WOW! You may ask, what now? What's next? Remember consecration is not just a few days of being set apart, then going back to the same things that served as a distraction for deeper intimacy with God but rather consecration is a lifestyle. We are God's consecrated people cleansed by the blood of Jesus! You are at a new place now, a new level and let NOTHING bring you down! Live to the Glory of God! Hold dear and near everything that Holy Spirit has spoken and revealed to you during this time. Godly habits that were strengthened or

Leland thought Ryan felt trapped. Leland then goes on to say he couldn’t sleep and that he was kept up all night thinking about both Ryan and Mrs. Calderon, and their sadness. Mainly, he believed there was nothing that he could do to fix the sadness they felt and he just wanted it all to go away.

“Look, I get it, Ryker's gonna be there, Gabriel's gonna be there, you want to avoid them. As your best friend I find that it is my job to help ease you out of your comfort zone.” He shoved some of his clothes in his backpack. “But just think, Greer's gonna be there, we like Greer.” He zipped up the bag and threw it with his suitcase. “We like Henry and Georgia.” He made his way over to her. “You have been doing better, it's time to go back.”

The dream of a getting married, starting a family , a house with a white picket fence, two kids and a dog eludes a huge number of couples in America and abroad. The perfect picture of a family is usually made complete with the addition of children. There are now more options to create a family than the traditional natural conception. The advances in technology have opened up the option of assisted reproduction such as artificial insemination, invitro fertilization, donor egg or sperm, and assisted hatching. Another option for family creation is adoption. Each option has advantages and drawbacks. With either option there are emotional, financial, and moral issues associated with these options. Finding a perfect

I chose my mother as one of the two family members to Interview. One major value that meant a lot to her and her family growing up was making the most out of what you have. Based off of this statement alone, I could tell that she must not have had much growing up. My mother’s parents didn’t make much, and for her parents it was hard to feed and take care of her and all of her siblings. She lived a seemingly rough life, but she became a better person because of it. She talked about how she learned a lot from her mother, who worked extremely hard to keep her family safe and fed. An example of making the most out of what she had was both disgusting and sad. My mother always tells my siblings and I about how when she was a kid she would be forced

My family health assessment was conducted using the 11 Gordon functional health pattern.

What are your top three things you are thankful for? First, I am thankful for family. I am also thankful for food and drinks. Last, but not least I am thankful for my horses. Now, I will share with you why.

For as many years as anyone can remember, my family has hunted. This tradition is takes its main roots in Sweden. The earliest history that anyone in our family knows begins with my Great Great Grandfather Bengt Bengtson. He lived in Munkfors, Sweden and worked as a lumber company’s hunter. He was appointed to this job because of his exceptional shooting ability. He also used his expertise to provide sustenance for his family. The necessity and skills of hunting were taught to his son Gustav Bengtson. Great Grandpa Gus immigrated to the United States in 1926 at the age of 25 to start a new life. The practice of hunting was still an integral part of life, even in America. My mom’s paternal grandfather, John, was not an immigrant, but he was

I woke up with a start with sweat dripping down my face. Then suddenly I realized I was screaming. My high-pitched scream rang out against the overly quiet dorm. I could taste the stale air coming into my room. Shaking hard I screamed for my roommate to wake up and help me calm down, right then I realized I wouldn’t get any help from my roommate though; she was gone. Just like everyone else she was sleeping in her parents warm and cozy house on Christmas break. I, on the other hand, had been fighting nightmares ever since the start of Christmas break the vivid images replaying older and over in my head. I could remember the scorching smoke finding its way to my house and pouring in. The fire ravaging house after house never satisfied enough with what it had eaten. It caught up to my house and we ran. We ran like there was no tomorrow and there wasn't for some of us. My sister tripped and I went back for her, meanwhile, the rest of my family kept on running not clear on the events happening around them. They ran further into the smoke, and by the time I got to my sister I could not see them. The fire jumped out and circled around us, engulfing everything that was in the circle surrounding us. There was nowhere to go without getting burned and then a miracle happened. A stranger came out of the clearing and helped us get out. We ended up living with him until he died years later, leaving us alone with his house. He was like a father to us even through the hardest

Family. It’s one word that has a different significance for every individual. There’s multiple uncontrollable factors that can change crucial aspects of your personality, such as whether or not your parents are together or the number of siblings you have. These features can cause one to be either satisfied or discontented in their life. Most do not think about the stability of their family; after all, I never thought about it until mine began collapsing.

My family is spontaneous, we have flown across country just because the tickets were cheap and sped up a mountain to see the stars, just because my sister was learning about the constellations. The most spontaneous thing my family has done was driving to Guatemala. I remember coming home one day from 5th grade, and my mom packing up the car. I was told that my bags were already packed but I should look around the house to see if there was anything I needed. I looked around, grabbed my sister’s blanket, and we were off. For 12 days were stopped and sightseeing everywhere we could. My sister wanted to stop by and see the Grand Canyon, I wanted to see Mexico. My mom would pick flowers everywhere we stopped and hang them on the mirror. I remember after about the 7th day in we had arrived to Guatemala, we got stopped by the police to search our car. My sister's teddy bear was in the trunk and it popped out when the man with the biggest gun opened it. We all laughed and they decided that a bunch of americans did not have anything dangerous in their car. We arrived in a city called Chimaltenango and came to our new home and neighborhood. I remember the dogs and the ladies with fresh peaches balancing on their heads. I remember watching children flipping tortillas on a stepstool at their stand to get some extra money. When we came to the new house, my sister said that the roofs were so flat, the houses so close together that we could jump from them. The house had two rooms, one bathroom and a kitchen. Even though it was a 380 square foot home, it was one of the best homes I’ve ever had. I didn’t even know that Guatemala was a county or how different a developing country was. Me and my family have experienced the wonders and differences between cultures and 1st world to 3rd world countries. While most people have clean water and vegetables. I remember my dad carrying the 10 gallons of water and my mom washing the vegetables in bleach. Me and my sister would go outside and wash dishes in the pila. A concrete tank where we would wash both our dishes and clothes. Me and my sister went to Meso Americano while my parents taught english. I loved my school, everyone was very kind and patient with my bad spanish. There was

My interactions with my family, friends, school, and community differ vastly from one another, and therefore I cannot answer the prompt with one simply answer. In terms of my family, I am a dependable son, and intelligent brother. With my friends, I am a light-hearted jokester who isn’t afraid to have fun. In my school, I am seen as an academic and social leader. In Lexington, I am seen as a rising academic, and voice for students’ rights.
