My Day With My Family

My house is crowded with my relatives and friends; my friends and family are here me to wish me good luck and safe journey. My heart is full of mixed emotions. I am scared and sad but excited and happy at the same time as it is my last day at my house and in my country. Tonight is my flight to America. I’m moving to America, to be with my husband and to start a new journey of my life. I remember everything from my last day in Pakistan. I have never been way from my house before. I have always been surrounded by my friends and cousins. My friends have always been with me in my good and bad times and I cannot imagine a day without them. I never thought of leaving them. I didn’t realize how my life would change because of a ‘yes’. My childhood friend Sadiq, who moved to America ten years ago, asked me to marry him. Everyone in my family liked him so without thinking of anything else I said yes to him and we got married in a year, when he visited Pakistan. We were really excited to spend our lives together. What I didn’t realize until the moment I was at the airport that I am going to a new country, where I don’t know anyone other than my husband. I’m leaving all my family and friends here in Pakistan. I didn’t know how to react anymore now, I was sad and crying as I entered airport but I also felt happy inside my heart. When I was at the airport with my family, my grandma kept saying to me, “you have to call us at least three times a day when you get there.” My mom said, “Take

My family and my faith status makes my life worthwhile. It's the love and relationship that keeps me bounded together with my family. Without a family I am absolutely nothing because they have helped me through hard times and supported me. As being the oldest child of the family I was always appreciated and praised for doing remarkable things in my daily life. In grade 8, I had final exams and during that period of time I was sick with high fever. I was not in a state to prepare for the exams which caused hopelessness and stress, although my parents supported me and encouraged me to write the exam on the bases of the things I have learned the entire year. Their brace made me successful and I got straight A’s on the exams. Family status is as important in life as eating food on regular bases. My family is always ready to support and sacrifice their happiness for me. They complete my world, thus it makes me confined to my family status. In addition to family status, which makes up most of my status and identity is my faith status. Inner faith makes me enthusiastic towards life. Just the

“The best things in life are the people we love the places we’ve been…. And the memories we’ve made along the way.” by Unknown. 2017 started off terrible but then soon got better from a little help from God. My family found out we won a trip to Hawaii. My parents were deciding whether or not they should take us kids with, my brothers Chris was 18, Matt was 11, Nic was 8, and I was 15. Then my parents talked and the decided that it would be our last family vacation with just our family saying chris went to college the next year and probably will find a girlfriend. Hawaii I know made me look at life a different was saying everything that just happened to me.

Theres a lot more i could say about but ive said enough in my past assignments. My family is something that is special to me, because its the people who fed me and dressed me. They are the ones who taught me manners and how to be a better person. If it wasnt for them i dont know what type of person i would be to be honest.also i grew up everyday with them. My family might not be complete and theres two empty chairs at dinner, but its the best thing i will ever have. My family region is Mexico,growing up as a mexican you have been told that La Virgen is the mother of all. I was told to believe that she will always protect you and that roses is the thing that you offer to her. They have also told me that she will protect me of all bad with her pure blanket. We have a lot of respect and love for her. Respect and having manners is something that my whole life i have been told that if you dont have respect you arent anything. Having respect is what makes you somebody. I must always have respect towards everyone. Sadly because of my anger issues i really just

My family is anything but ordinary, but it is this uniqueness that has shaped me into the person I am today.  I grew up in an Indian family of 9...yes 9! It’s not that I have 6 other siblings; alongside my parents and older brother Jaineel, I also live with my aunt, uncle, two cousins, and grandfather. Indian tradition calls for the sons of the family to care after their parents when married, so my dad and and his brother deemed the best way to fulfill this role is to have a joint family with their father, wives, and children. My cousins, Annika and Zuri, have been by my side since day one and are truly considered my sisters.  Living with so many people had changed me for the better; I have learned to greatly appreciate the love, support, and

To choose one memorable time in my life is not an easy task. There are many occasions in my life that stand out, many even prepared me to be the woman I am today. One of those moments, the day my daughter was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. That day was my first lesson in patience and fueled my ability in research. Yes, I admit I was very nervous and concerned. I educated myself by reading numerous books. You could even go as far as to say I was obsessed with everything I heard and read about ADHD. I wanted to become knowledgeable and not just take the word of others.

When we encounter any difficulties and trouble, our families were always in our side. They are willing to protect us from any enemies, they support us in any dreams we want and they love us eternally without any conditions.

My family was and is still very important in my life. Sometimes I would become melancholy when I think about how far apart I am from them. On the other hand, I do become enlightened when I think about how both sides of my families are close when I visit them in Missouri. As a child, never really had a birthday party or received a lot of presents, but when my family comes during my birthday, I feel like I’m receiving hundreds of presents. My family makes me feel safe and secure when I’m feeling down.

My parents left me when I was 3 years old and they came to to America. My grandmother and her husband. My grandmother had 7 kids plus me and my big brother and they had to feed all of us. My grandparents did not had a lot back then but I was bless enough to survive with them. In Guinee I used to get up 5:30 to walk to school , the school i used to go to was 1 mile away from the house. My teachers in Guinee used to always beat me up every time I came to school late. I knew it wasn’t my fault that i lived far but I still tried to manage my time everyday to make it on time on this day. When school is finish and I walk back home, when i come back home, sometimes like 5:30 or 6:00 the food is already finish and my grandmother is cooking another meal. In my grandparents house , there is always time and periods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner after the last prayer and all of that the family comes together and eat together in one plate .If you don't make it to the exact time, then you have to wait till the next one to eat with the family. My grandmother never lets someone eat by oneself, she always taught me that family is the background of life. In my life there were situations that arose that I would not have made it through without my family. when my mother used to call home to check on me and my brother , i always used to complain about the family and how i like them But no matter what choices

When anything goes wrong or bad in my life, my family is always there for me. Whenever my family goes through something bad, I am there for him/her. I believe we are in this life together and this belief deepens my sense of meaning. Personal suffering is a

I care a lot about my family, and my family cares about me. That's what makes us a family; the trust between us. My family is an ordinary family, with an extraordinary life. For example, at times in which I am sick in bed, my mom will take time out of her day to give me water and suggestions, while my dad would spend his time (even at midnight) to get me some medicine from Target. In turn, when my mom's shoulders are very sore, I help her massage her shoulders. I also tell jokes to brighten her and my dad's mood. We are a perfect family together, with my parents to physically care for me, and I mentally care for them and make them

| I believe in loving my families, giving them my time and effort. I believe in the presence of family value and care for one another.

It wasn’t until the morning of Saturday, May 21, 2016 that I realized what the true feeling of unconditional love was. The moment a parent looks into his or her child’s eyes there is just so much love it’s unbelievable. People think they know what love is when they love a significant other, family member, or a close friend; however, that love is nothing compared to the love a parent experiences the day his or her child is born. That is the love I felt the moment I placed my beautiful baby boy on my chest.

A Memorable day in my life, was, when I went to Walt Disney World. I remember the day like it was yesterday. My Trip to Disney World was the most joyous time in my life. There were so, many things to do, for the whole family to enjoy. My trip Walt Disney World was like a fantasy. Visiting Walt Disney World was more like, an escape from the real world. Visiting Walt Disney World Was an experience. I had the chance to see all of the Disney Characters , That, I've seen on television come to life there.

I chose to take a day of silence from 2:00 pm to 10:30 pm. This day of silence was done on my way home for Thanksgiving. I spent 2 hours in the car in complete silence, without music or any other imported noise, breaking every 30-45 minutes to stop and take a short walk as suggested by the instructions. The final hour in the car I played light classical music and hymns, to combat drowsiness. Then, after getting into the airport, I sat at my gate with noise canceling headphones in and read. I read from the Bible (both Ruth and Luke in their entirety) prior to my plane ride, Parker Palmer, and a novel called “Me Before You” that examines the life of a paralyzed man who wishes to commit doctor assisted suicide. My day of silence was completed exactly 30 minutes prior to landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico for Thanksgiving.
