Throughout my life, my family has been the main factor in shaping my character. I have experienced many different roles being a daughter to my parents, a younger sister to my brother, and an older sister to my sister. Each one of these relationships require special attention and responsibilities.
My father’s struggles push me to use all my potential. My father has a difficult job as a food vendor. His job requires him to wake up early and drive to Manhattan which is about a 35 mile trip. Once he reaches Manhattan, he does not have the luxury of working indoors in an air conditioned facility during a hot summer day. Instead, he’s in the street cart working 12 hour shifts, providing for his family. His job is quite demanding; by the time he comes home he is exhausted and has no energy left for the rest of the day. Furthermore, he does not have the luxury of sick days and vacation days. Just like my siblings and I have been robbed of moments with our father, my father has been robbed of many enjoyable moments too. Having the knowledge that my father goes through so much for me, I feel indebted to him, pressuring me to push myself to the best of my ability. Through his dedication and hard work my father has made me very proud to be his daughter and I wake up everyday trying to do the same for him. All that he asks of me is to further my education, and I will continue doing just that. Solely for its school system, we live in a relatively wealthy town. Although our expenses are
My family is always there for me. My mom and dad support me so much. You would think that if one of your parents owned a business he would want you to work there, but my dad is the complete opposite. Yes I work there, but when I’m out of high school he wants me to go to college and do what I’m passionate for. My dad's business is a family business, so it has been passed down to him. My mom is just the best you could ever want. She keeps me organized and has lead me to be a good kid. She was always pushed me to be the best I can. I would be so different if my mom would have not kept me in line. My sister is sometimes supportive, but like most siblings she is most of the times not my favorite. My sister is very good at basketball so I try to support her the best I can with her when it comes to sports. We are very close to both of our grandparents and our cousins around us. My cousin lives about five minutes from me as well as my mom's parents. My dad's parents live about two minutes away from us. Every holiday we and my cousin's family are always up at my dad's parents house. My cousin's mom and my dad are brother and sister. I always have a great time with my
My family is one of a kind. They support me all the time. My dad comes home each day after doing an eight hour shift and manages all the bill payments. My mom cooks, cleans, goes to job, helps me and my brother with homework, and drops/ picks us up from classes every single day. Last but not least, my brother is always there for me. He shares everything with me, even his favorite chocolates. And he is the one that teaches me the forms that I didn’t get in the karate class. Even though we fight a lot, I couldn’t have asked for a better brother than him. I love my family very much and they will always be dear to
My family is composed of my father, mother, a younger sister, an older sister, who unfortunately passed away, and myself. I grew up being the oldest child, for my oldest sister passed away before I was born. Although, I never got to meet my older sister her absence has taught me to value the importance of family.
Family plays a crucial role in an individual's life. They affect your decisions and the way you live. Your family can either bring you down or lift you up and push you to do your hardest.
Family. It is a very fluid yet rigid idea. It has a wealth of definitions, all of which range in degree and magnitude, and vary from person to person; yet the concept of how a family should work and operate is very concrete in most American minds. Family is a bond that is crafted every second of everyday until it is powerful, and this can shape beliefs, outlooks, and confidence. A study found that children with father figures that are highly involved benefit because an immense range of emotions are modelled to them as children, and consequently they will be more adapt at recognizing and expressing their own emotions. In contrast children
But he has a job that pays good money. My dad learned a trade and became an excellent auto body mechanic. Because of his experience on the job he made it his mission for me to attend college. The thing is my father never once told me not to go to college. He says that “I should always achieve for greatness no matter the cost”. When I interviewed my father he made his answers forced on the many reasons to go to college. He wants me achieve my goals of becoming a computer engineer. Even though I get annoyed because I think he's doing to much I still understand why he does it. He's an important influence that also help to guide me in the right direction.
My parent’s both have very hard working jobs which have inspired me to work not just hard but to my fullest extent. Money is not the only benefit, but accomplishing my goals and desires are. My mother gets what she can every week cleaning houses in the Redlands, and my father takes two buses, and one train until reaching North Miami six days a workweek. All their sacrifice is for me to have a roof and food at home, this way we can afford our duplex in Homestead. We are a low-income family in Florida who have no other family members but ourselves. Having to adjust to a new community, learning a new culture based on other traditions and an altogether new terminology has been difficult, but overcoming many of these struggles have taught me that one day I will be capable to achieve my ends. I will be helping the community that one day welcomed me, as one of their
Something that you can’t control about your life is your family. Good, bad, or ugly, you start your life with them in some capacity. By being present or not, positive or not, they will shape your life. Your family should bring out the best in you. They should encourage you to do what you’ve always inspired to do and to be who you’ve always inspired to be. You should never disregard your family or forget where you come from. When you have your family by your side, you never need to feel that you are alone as you step out into the world.
Due to the economic instability, it was extremely difficult for my father to find another job. So, he decided to take a huge risk and invest in a family business of stationery materials. The long hours and stress weighed down my father, and greatly affected my family. Consequently, I had to work even harder to ensure the security of our family income. While my friends were sleeping, I would wake up at six in the morning to open and set up the shop. Also, since my family couldn’t afford basic transportation, I had to walk to and from school daily. After returning from school, I would work at the shop while attempting to finish schoolwork until closing. While my peers were enjoying their childhood, I was being crushed by the responsibilities of my demanding family business and my overwhelming heap of schoolwork. However, facing such adversity gave me a strong sense of perseverance and diligence that I will always cherish, respect, and retain. I was fortunate enough to immigrate to the United States and start my life over. Even though moving to a completely new country at the
There are many aspects that contribute to the idea of family. Family by definition, is a group of people related by blood (e.g. parents, siblings, cousins, etc). In class we have read and discussed many pieces of work that depict the influences of family and/or home on the individual. One of the two I will discuss is “Charlotte Temple” by Susanna Rowson, as well as “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson” by Mary Rowlandson, both of which demonstrate the power of familial bonds and its effect over the course of your life. The impact of family, whether it is weak or strong, will define who you are as a person.

Ever since I was born we were considered a low income family where my mom attends to household needs and my dad is the only one who works. This brings up conflicts in the home in which both my parents burst out into arguments about money. My dad says he can’t afford to pay rent, at times, and tries to find ways out without losing everything he has worked for. As they argued, I thought to myself that maybe I should work to give my family a hand out of this situation. While they were arguing I interrupted them and told them what I thought, my dad grinned and said, “Focus on your education, be someone, create yourself a
We use the word role today meaning a function or part played in life. As a member of a family or a work situation the roles we have in life depend on the situation we are in at the time. I myself am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a care assistant, a student and a friend. As you can see I have many different roles in my everyday living. The main role in my life will be the role within my family unit. This project will look at the roles of members in a family unit and how this has changed over the last 25-50 years.
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.
No one can’t meet a family like mine’s. My family is well diversified. Every family member plays an important role in all my family’s lives. In my family, there are four people: my father, my mother, my little brother and me. My father is one who brings money home and is also responsible for organizing and planning family trips. My mother is the one who is in charge for making meals and makes sure everyone eats at the appropriate times. My little brother is the pet of the family. He actually doesn’t have any responsibilities, for he’s the pet. I am the rock of support in my family. I always go beyond my parents’ expectations. I also support my younger cousins and little brother, by being a role model that they can look up to. Another
