My Family : One Of The Greatest Role Model In My Life

For the past seventeen years of my life minus a few months, I have lived in the United States. I grew up skiing and bicycling in Grand Rapids, Michigan, until my family decided to move all the way out west to Flagstaff, Arizona. Many eleven-year-olds might become stubborn and defensive in response to such a massive, life-changing move, but I remember embracing it because I was with my family, and I was ready to face any obstacle that unveiled itself to me because I knew that my late comedic father, my worrisome mother, and my troublesome brother would be right by my side. As we made the two-day drive from Michigan to Arizona in our SUV together, we watched the numbers on the odometer crawl up more and more until there were 2,000 more miles on the car than there were when we started, and we

Your life is changed every day and there are many points to your life. One point of my life is that family is the most important thing. Family is an important factor of everyone’s life, it’s who you are and who you have become today.

Most life changing events happen with someone whom you truly trust. It is easy to ignore people, withdraw, and not form relationships built on love and reliance. I have truly grown closer to my role model in my life. Matt Harp, my role model, is a man of truth, integrity, love, selflessness, and compassion. Many different times he surprised me with how he acted, spoke and thought. I clearly saw the Lord lead his life, and his actions revealed as much. I wanted to follow his example. He led me through junior high, what was definitely the toughest part of my life. Looking back, I can only imagine what would have happened in my life if I had not grown to trust this honorable man. There are many different times where Matt taught me a life lesson, but these three are the most prominent. He taught me how to be unique, be yourself, always be willing to share, and to never give up, even when you are tired.

I have been feeling a combination of emotions after hearing some very interesting news from my family. I feel is confusion of being shocked, upset and excitement which I share with my siblings or my wife. I wonder, is this true? How could it be? We were one big happy family, but now I don’t understand. My siblings and my wife all have provided me comfort, which has been very helpful. I was the youngest of seven; with five sisters and one brother. Now, I find out I have two brothers. I grew up being bullied, pushed around and always getting the hand-me-downs of everything in his family. Growing up, I always felt like I lived a normal life, with great parents, a roof over my head, attended a Catholic School and even had the opportunity to

I was never interested in having a sibling, until I had one. I always thought I would be perfectly happy on my own, just me, myself, and I. The only person I ever had to be concerned about was myself. My parents were just about always busy, and I sometimes even had to spend my days at my mom’s work office. Dad was always doing something and worked late. I had a good group of friends, and they were all I needed, right? But once my family adopted a little boy, I was never alone. I learned more about the meaning of family. As soon as that little boy was part of my family, I as a person, changed forever.

I believe that family is the most important thing in your life. Why you may ask ? Well I believe that it’s a part of you that is always gonna be there for you when times get tough. And it’s never going to make you feel like anything less.

We are a family of four: my mom, my dad, my sister and I. Passed down from generation to generation, the values of commitment, respect, and faith have been instilled in my life by my parents. Throughout my childhood, my parents have shaped the way I look at the world by teaching me lessons and guiding me to the right path.

My mother is the most important person in my life because the bond we share is like no other she is my mentor, guide, and protector and I love her more than anyone will ever know. My mother and I have been threw a lot of tough times fun times important times and disappointing times together but the one that catches my eye the most is the time when my great grandmother was sick and only had a few days left to live and without my mom there I have no clue how the family would have took it.

“Guchi guchi goo” my siblings often tease me “Leave our baby alone,” my parents chime in. This is what a typical day at the Alonzo household consists of. I have four siblings, two brothers and two sisters. From oldest to youngest their names are Elizabeth, Maria, Johnny, and Adrian.That leaves me, Celeste. I'm the youngest of the family so baby noises always seem to follow me. Besides all the baby jokes being the youngest in my family has a lot of positives.My Family has given me people to look up to, life lessons, and a developed sense of culture.

Family is important, including your ancestors. Your family history can say a lot about your current position in society. Society has a way of classifying people into groups based on resources known as stratification. Social stratification as defined by the book “refers to how individuals and groups are layered and ranked in society according to their access to and possession of valued resources” (Ballantine, Roberts, and Korgen 2018). After talking to my dad and mom about my family history I got a better idea as to where my family is on the social class ladder and I was able to see how my ancestors lives shaped my life in some ways that can be understood from a sociological perspective.

One night in the middle of December, 2014, something unexpected and monumental happened to our family. My dad and I were in a car accident. The collision wasn’t major; no one seemed seriously hurt at the time, and both vehicles were still operational. Fully expecting to move on as a family, we continued normally with life for a couple of weeks. Little did we know that my dad sustained a hidden, possibly permanent injury that took almost two years to diagnose. Although this accident changed the way our family operates, we cling to our faith in God and press on.

“Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.” This quote from the famous Disney movie Lilo and Stitch presents the true meaning of what it is to be a part of a family. As the youngest of eight children, I know from experience how the family installs our core values and personality traits. My oldest sibling is sixteen years older than me and my closest sibling is around nineteen months older than me. Being a part of a big family can be challenging, but it is also extremely rewarding. I learned a variety of life skills that most people my age are not exposed to until much later in life.

I grew up in Peru in a Christian family, more specifically, an Evangelical one. At first, my family was Catholic however, in the year 2000 we converted to Evangelical. The mom of one of my friends in preschool invited my parents to her church’s anniversary and that is when everything changed for my family. Back then, I was a 6 year old child who did not have an understand of what was happening; all I can remember is my parents taking me and my sisters to the church every Sunday.

The most important people in my life right now are my friends. I want to invest my time with my church youth group to make us all connected even more than we already are. They matter to me the most and I would not be who I am today without them.

Many of us have role models or people we look up to. Now whether that be a musician, actress/actor, cartoon character, or just someone that inspires you on a daily basis varies. My mom is the person that inspire me on a daily basis. My mom has always supported everything that I’ve done or at least wanted to do. She puts everyone before herself and is always willing to help anyone in need. My mom perhaps is one of the most, beautiful, intelligent, and selfless people that I have ever come across, and she is everything that I aspire to be.
