My Family : Being A Part Of A Family

When I was younger, one of my favorite movies was Lilo and Stitch, a story about a girl and her pet “dog” named Stitch. One of my favorite quotes from the movie says, “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” Although I live in a place with weather that is the opposite of Hawaii’s and do not have an alien pet, my family and community have taught me the spirit of “ohana.” My parents were raised on the island of Sri Lanka, well known for having a similar tropical climate as Hawaii. However, they grew up in a time of great ethnic tension, and both of my parents escaped ethnic warfare and persistent discrimination that tore apart the Resplendent Isle. Because of these experiences, my parents raised me to be

“‘Ohana’ means ‘family’. ‘Family’ means ‘noone gets left behind’,” is the famous quote from Lilo and Stitch that perfectly portrays the movie The Intouchables. The theme family is shown many times in the movie The Intouchables. It is first seen when a man, named Driss, is hired to care for a paralyzed man and they develop a bond that cannot be broken. It is also seen between Driss and his step-brother. Although these are the main portrayals of family, it is also seen with Driss and his coworkers. The previous relationships mentioned show family in a different way. The people in those relationships are not blood-related yet still manage to treat each other like family. Being treated like family is respecting one another, taking care of each other, and never losing touch no matter how busy life gets. With that being said, family does not always mean being immediate family. In the Intouchables, family is a common theme found in multiple points of the movie.

My family is from Mexico, a place where there is no prospect, and they have given up their most important wishes for mine. Being a Hispanic doesn’t make me feel inferior, but it makes me diligent. I have observed the way my parents worked throughout their years. The way they managed to survive and pleasure us, my brother and I, with our wants or needs. It is important to love who I am, my heritage and background, because it is not about how much money I have in my wallet but it is about the lesson or motivation I cultivated. The most amazing part about my heritage is knowing how strongly and intensely we believe in ourselves. When we set a belief, it is rare for someone to destroy the significance of it so easily. We have strong morals and that is what makes my background/heritage so important to me. We never give up.

Families, as units, are extremely complex and vary drastically from one another. A person might be under the impression that his or her own family is nothing special, especially if they are accustomed to their family’s routines. After analyzing my own family through the sociological lenses of an assortment of scholars, it is now clear that it is not as simple as it seems. Sociologically analyzing my family through the divorces that have occurred in my life makes it clear that divorce can have an impact on a variety of family dynamics, such as my parents and their jobs and domestic duties, the amount of involvement they have with their friends and family, as well as my financial dependence on my parents.

“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind — or forgotten (Lilo and Stitch).” That quote resonates with numerous children and even adults since the movie’s release. People have different definitions of what it means to be a family. Either it means that we should care for each other or provide for one and another. Family is a strong topic that everyone thinks of. For education, we may say we want to achieve a college degree, so we can obtain a well-paying job. However, it is for the reason we want to give back to our parents or loved ones, so they’ll be proud and joyful. Family, in most modern-day settings, is a major theme. Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead follows a dying aged minister, John Ames, as he writes his final words to

“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten”. This quote is from the movie Lilo and Stitch. Although this quote is from a kids movie its states the importance of family, I think this quote goes well with “Fly Away home” by Eve Bunting. Throughout the story we learn how important family is to the little boy named Andrew who lives in the airport.

In kathleen O'neill’s article , one of the concept the author emphasize on was that younger siblings in the family looking up to their

What do individuals think of when they hear the term First Family? Normally people think of the President, his wife, and their children, but it can be much more extensive. In the book First Family by David Baldacci, Pam Dutton, sister of the First Lady, is murdered. Pam’s daughter, Willa, is kidnapped during the attack on the Dutton family. Tuck, father of the Dutton family, is badly injured in the attack. The Secret Service provides little protection to relatives to the President, so the Dutton family is an open target. Two detectives who arrive at the crime scene while the crime is taking place take upon the investigation. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are appointed to investigate the crime under the orders of the First Lady. The title is

My parents and grandparents don’t speak English, so my sister and brother only have me to rely on. When I tutored my sister, I don’t remember a moment where I wasn’t frustrated. I wanted her to understand, but she couldn’t. Because I love her, I thought the only way was to yell and scream directions and knowledge to her. When I tutored my brother, I don’t remember a moment where I was frustrated. I learned that love should be shown through actions, not just through personal thoughts. For one, I now put people before myself. I have everything I need; I have a roof over my head, success in school, love from my family, and food on the table. Not everyone in the community I live in have the same opportunity, but they deserve all of the same things. They deserve the actions of love from everyone in the

In the movie “Lilo and Stitch” from Disney there is a quote in there from when Lilo says, “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten”

Family, a simple six letter word with meaning that goes beyond anything known to man. What could be better than this heartwarming six-letter word? Ohana, because it’s five letters. If you don’t know the old 90’s cartoon, Lilo & Stitch, “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” We love, cherish, and support them with every bone in our bodies, but we seem to take them for granted as well. From childhood to adulthood we seem to teeter on the line between the two.

“Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten”. This is from a Disney original, Lilo and Stitch. Family isn’t that simple, however. From an early age, family is a huge part of our cognitive development, for they are our primary environment. That being said, it is inevitable that they impact us. Is it also inevitable to become them in some aspects, no matter how badly you wish not to? I’ve witnessed my mother spill over waterfalls of tears over the betrayal of her mother, and the way in which my older half-sister, Jessica, feels abandoned by her. And to my mother’s horror, my sister found motherly comfort in her grandmother.

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.
