If Life Has Changed My Family

My parents always encouraged my siblings and I that we were capable of doing anything that we set our minds to. It didn’t matter where or what we wanted to do; all that mattered was if we had the passion to do it and succeed. From that, I was always set on becoming a doctor. It didn’t matter what kind; I just knew I wanted to help people. From a young age, I knew that my parents worked hard so that my siblings and I might have a better life than my parents. Both of my parents came from Vietnam with little to nothing. They both got jobs at Excel before they were twenty, and, after ten years, they met each other and got married. They and bought a motel and restaurant, and managed that for another ten years. They were

I come from a working class family. My dad recently retired after working 27 years at a job and now he is working at ???. Nothing came easy to him at his first job and I watched him work so hard to accomplish promotions that he deserved. He went to a two-year college and was able to get a job. When he wanted to get these promotions he started to go back to school online and now he has his bachelors. My mom never went to college but she stayed home with my brother and me because of my dad working. Both of my parents believed in me, which made me want to work and try so hard. They made

Thankfully, I was born in supportive and loving family. Both of my parents worked very hard to provide for the family. My dad was a skilled carpenter thereby, he would go to different parts of Nepal and India to work. On the other hand, my mom stayed home and worked. She would make Nanglo; a flat, round tray made of bamboo and sell those to earn some money. Besides that, she did various other works such as sewing, sharecropping etc. Even though she was busy most of the time she never failed to encourage me to study. She was the first one to teach me the importance of education even

I grew up in a very diverse and ever-changing household. I am one of seven children: one whole sister, one half brother (on my father side), two half sisters (on my moms side) and two adoptive brothers (on my step fathers side). The place I called home was not just a single house but in fact involved two both with separate families and rules. Each neighborhood of the homes, were unique and required a few adjustments. Thus shaping me in becoming an independent, above average and passionate person.

Both of my parents are first generation college graduates. Seeing as my grandparents had not gone to college, my parents always stressed the importance of acquiring a higher education this is due to the fact that they owe their success to their degrees. Due to my parents’ constant support, I continue to excel in school, sports, clubs, and in everything else I do. My mother and father taught me the ability to plan for the future and the importance of hard work. Without their influence, I would not be as passionate about my career choice nor would I believe that I could go to

Although not many people in my family has very good jobs, and very few have graduated from college. Yet they have always been able to provide for themselves and each other. My mother and father never really had great jobs until a couple years ago, due to them not have a college degree but, they have always provided well for me and my siblings. Also we have always lived comfortably throughout all the rough patches in our life. Although, my mother graduated from college a couple years back and it changed her life and ours, it gave her the chance to have more open options for jobs that she’s is actually interested in.

I am very thankful for my family because they provide food for me and a roof over my head. My family always cheers me on during sports no matter if I win or lose because they know I tried my hardest. They also support me by coming to every single one of my soccer games and track meets that I have. I know that my parents love me because they tell me almost every day. My sister doesn’t say that she loves me that often, but I know in her heart she does because we always get along and she invites me to do certain activities with her friends. My family treats me with dignity and respect because they know I can handle certain things rather than when I could when I was five years old. I know my family will always be by my side and help me when needed.

I am thankful and feel very blessed to have the family that God chose for me. I am the youngest in my family, and I live with my brother and my parents. Ever since I was born, I have lived a very fortunate and opportune life. I have never been given a reason to complain about the life that I live, and that is all due to my family. The way in which my family has raised me has equipped me with many qualities that have molded me into the person that I am today.

I grew up in a great family. I live in Preston Hollow- a pretty nice neighborhood. Everyone is really safe. I live with my mom, my dad, sister, brother and dog. I really enjoy being with them and we always have fun when we are together. They provide for me whatever I need, which I realize not many people can do and I am extremely thankful for. Even though they are able to provide, they taught me I still have to work for something good- I will not just be given it, which is how many other people in my neighborhood were raised. Growing up, my mom was always home since she does not work- she mostly just volunteers. My dad on the other hand, is always gone working. The only real quality time I have with him is when we go on vacations.

I am the first in my family to earn a 4 year degree. Of course, this means that I will also be the first to pursue a doctorate. My parents never had the opportunity to get a postsecondary education, so they made sure that I would have every tool I needed in order to go to school for whatever I wanted to do with my life. We never had much money because of my father’s disabilities, but with a few sacrifices and the help of scholarships I was able to earn my bachelor of science in physics.

When I was born, I was raised by a wonderful father and mother. Even though we never had a money to afford things that most people buy for their child they still pulled it off. I was raised in a family of four with two brothers and parents. It wasn’t easy because we were living in my uncle’s house, but something changed after the fact I was born. My father ended getting a job that he loved, my mom started working in a bakery shop and both of my brothers went to school and I was just alone with my uncle and aunt. By the age 6 I attended Cromack Elementry and I was so excited to meet new friends and did fast because I was never a shy person I am more of a outgoing type of guy. Towards the end of kinder my dad finally bought our family a small

Growing up, I didn’t have the classic loving family everyone dreams of. I understand that no family is perfect, but some can have more or less problems than others. I have some regrets about my family. However, I also wouldn’t change a thing. My experience has made me who I today. My perspective is from a girl whose parents split up at age 6.

My dad went through so many years of school so that he could become a doctor. My mother was told as a kid that she didn’t have a chance at going to college. Instead, she was a hardworking student who paid attention in class. Just like my father, my grandfather worked for his family and now is retired. He still loves to work around the house, and gets things done. Finally there's me I work hard so that I can balance good grades in school and still do well in my sport swimming. My entire family works hard, and I hope that we continue to in the

I have always known I was adopted, my mom, my adoptive mom has never kept this a secret from me. I loved my family that I grew up with; they never treated me any different. They were Caucasian and me, I was African American. When I was little I lived in three different states; Texas, Alaska, and Las Vegas. Growing up life was a little rough for me. I was always teased because my mom was white and I was black, my hair wasn’t how other expected for it to be, and kids would also make fun of the way that I dressed. I thought maybe if I knew my real mom as a child life would have been better for me. I love my mom, however, I had always wanted to know who my real mother was, but I was afraid I would never know her because when I was adopted it was a closed adoption.

My entire family has had to come to the decision of whether or not to cut off a relationship, and I’ve watched my siblings do so in the past with people you would presume were their best friends. Over time I bound to face the same problem myself. Watching my siblings go through these hard to do decisions, and I know it sounds horrible but they gave me confidence. It gave me confidence that I too can make the decision if I have to and make the decision in the best way possible.
