Family Summary The significant caretakers and siblings that a person grows up with, or the first social group a person belongs to is one’s family of origin. This is often a person’s biological family or an adoptive family. My family of origin consists of my father, Jamie, my mother, Lori, and my brother, Morgan. In the past year, I have also gained a sister-in-law, Katie. These people have had an influence on how I see myself, others, and society.
Success in my family is an admirable aim for each member. My grandparents and their parents always strived for success. It is something that has been passed down through generations. In early elementary school, my brother and I knew my parent’s expectations for us. We needed to give a hundred percent in all that we did, and if we tried our best, the results were acceptable. My parents pushed us to reach new goals, but never did they scold us for not making the team or not being the smartest in our class. In my family, failure was quitting early or not putting forth effort.
In my opinion, my brother is the most successful in our family. My parents have accomplished a lot and have wonderful careers and lives, but I believe my brother pushes himself beyond his initial goals and works hard to reach his dreams each day. Morgan is currently a senior at Ball State University. Just in his four years at college, he has started his own business, had several part time jobs, and an incredible internship that has offered him a job after
Growing up, I was always the one expected in my family to succeed. My mom would always talk about the future; I would go to college, a privilege she couldn't obtain herself, and become a doctor to make enough money for our family. This was the career path I've always been interested in since I was a child. This helped shaped my goals in life and inspired me to work hard so I could make that ongoing dream a reality.
“Success doesn’t come to you, you have to go to it”, through my life from my childhood to this early adulthood, I underwent through many challenges and consequences as well as accomplishes and failure in my life. For example, learning the new language in a different country. To illustrate, adopted the new culture and community on the land of America. Namely, In the age of between thirteen to fifteen, I managed to lose weight and put myself into a weight training course. I have done all of these because I want to accomplish my ambition and show my parents that I could actually do better than what they thought of me.
I come from a loving and supportive family that has always encouraged me to work hard and if I do, I will be able to achieve anything I desire. I was taught to reach for the stars and to pursue my dreams. I am a true believer in setting goals, staying focused, and being persistent to achieve all I aspire: to be a CTO or CIO in corporate America.
There are different types of families, and what one may consider to be part of a family, another might not. For instance, not everyone believes a pet is part of a family, while others may treat their pets as their own biological children. Family is often defined as “any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins” (“Family,” 2016). This paper will synthesize information regarding my family, including my personal family genogram, my family artifacts, and analysis of my family dynamics, which will discuss family roles, cultural aspects values and beliefs, and other components of family. Also, this paper will examine the impact of family of origin in terms of how I would approach other family systems
In my mind, the primary reason I need – not want – to succeed is to prove a point. For several generations now, my family has been stuck in a cycle. The men work themselves to exhaustion so that their families can eat, eventually leading to a loss of enjoyment in the things they did when they were younger as well as an appearance of eternal “grumpiness.” The women live solely for their children and feel useless beyond that field, never achieving any of their personal goals. The issue is not that no one intelligent or dedicated enough. Several family members even started and dropped out of college. I believe that the primary reason for this is a lack of support. Even I have received some resistance largely because not everyone understands or believes that our family can change its circumstances. Especially when I consider that I am the oldest of four, I know that I must lead the way so that others can break from the cycle and know that they can do whatever they
My family has always mentioned how hard they would work in order to do well in school and to make the most out of any opportunities they would get the chance to have. What I have learned from their footsteps, is that when I did well not only did I feel accomplished, but I made my parents
As a matter of fact, someone who tries their best to get where they are now, is what I call a success. Even if they work at McDonalds, if that person is trying their very best, then they are successful. That job at McDonalds is not a great job, but if that person is trying their best, and that is the best job that they can get, then they are successful. Even with grades, if someone tries their best to get the grades that they have, they are successful, because not everyone can be an awesome student. Nonetheless, anyone who is trying their best in whatever they are doing they are successful.
Everyone in my family has had to go through their own separate struggles to achieve their goals, but we have gone through them as a unit. I have taken from the experiences of my older siblings and learned to work hard for anything that is worthwhile. I have consistently taken, head on, any obstacles that are in my way and worked my way through them.
The person I consider to be successful is my brother naz. He has not one but two well-paying jobs. He always looks out for the family when it comes to giving money. “Looks out” means to help or give when its needed. My brother Naz is financially stable, he was able to buy a whole car on his own.
Everyone wants to succeed at everything they do. Whether success comes in athletics, money, occupations, music, or arts, it is something that is a goal for everyone. Is success inherited, or is it something that you can develop? Why is it that some people succeed and others do not? This is the question my psychologists try to solve. Walter Mischel thinks the key to success is self-control. Carol Dweck thinks that anyone can succeed, it just matters about their effort.
Wealth, fame, and respect are synonyms used for success, however; such meanings feel incomplete. I on the other hand, believe that success is having the energy to remain focused on small goals and having them amount to something greater. Both of my parents immigrated to America with a third grade education, yet their diligence towards setting daily goals of different caliber has turned them into successful people. Seeing their struggle and perseverance first hand has influenced me to set goals for myself and carve a path of my own.
Success comes in many shapes and sizes. My parents have helped me achieve this success with their motivation, nurture and emotional support. Secondly, their endless efforts. They have been extremely involved by visiting my campus, interacting with my instructors, and taking part of my personal interests which has helped me with my transition from high school to post-secondary.
They graduate and continue on with their life. Some attend college and others enter the work force. However, I will be the first in my family to graduate high school and attend college. Therefore, my family is the motivation that I need to succeed academically. I want to show my family that I am worthy of their hard work and support. Now I wish to show them that their hard work has not been in vain. They are my motivation for my academic success and for my future endeavors.
I grew up in a household slightly different from the average household. This abnormal household showed me that no matter the family unit someone can have a positive influence in their life that will push them to achieve their goals. We lived in Maryland so the cost of living was high my parents had to work multiple jobs. This means my brother and I really had little to none parental or supervision growing up. I am only four years younger than my brother so I would hang with his crowd of friends rather than mine. In my household, my mother’s niece, Monet lived with us she is about ten years older than my brother. When my brother and I would wake up and I would be the only person in the house. I can remember waking up and smelling the freshly cooked waffles and bacon downstairs. Monet was my mother’s brother, daughter. Monet became so close to my brother Avery and I she was almost as if she was our sister. I can remember growing up and she would always say, “You don't have to take the route I took, its many more exits on the highway.” Even though I was young I was not blind to the fact of Monet role in the community and her neighborhood job I never judged her, she did what she had to do to make ends meet. It was an experience every day, or anytime being with Monet. She was so popular around Maryland it was almost like everywhere we went we received respect love. Now that I look back at the past, I see that Monet has taught me a lot that I know and live by today. I could
The word “family” is often used in connection with a person’s ancestry. Most families are based on kinship. Members belong to the family through birth, marriage, or adoption. Family plays the most vital role in our daily life and family is the finest thing that you can ever desire for. It’s the family who assists their child in hardships of life and give affection no matter what happens. Human personality reflects on what his /her family status is and what their families have taught them.
