My Family : The Most Important Aspect Of Life

Family plays an important role in every society. It is the main structure that made up a good society. Samovar, Porter & McDaniel (2015) write, “families are instrumental in teaching young people about their identities, how they fit into their culture, and where to find security” (p.73). Family is the first school in one’s life. In the early stages of our life, we learn how to eat, speak, communicate, and behave from our family, consciously and unconsciously we imitate our parents. In my religion (Islam) there is a great deal of attention to the importance of marriage and making family. Prophet Mohammad said, “The best of you is the best to his family and I am the best amongst you to my family”. Moreover, Islam assign a role to each member of the family, as parents take care of their children and the children should respect and obey their mother and father. I totally agree with Samovar, Porter & McDaniel (2015) when they mentioned that “the three most influential social organizations are (1) family, (2) state, and (3) religion” (p.70). For me, I believe that my family shapes most of my identity.

Family is the most important thing in a child’s life. The family provides the child with motivation, and serves as an example in helping children develop beliefs and understanding what is right and wrong. Overall, a child’s family is going to give the child lifelong connections through love, support, and belonging. Research has shown that family involvement in a child’s life, specifically in their education, has had numerous significant benefits, and schools are taking more actions to get families more involved in their child’s education.

My family has not been the perfect or the worst, we all have our moments that are meant in order to learn and gain experience. A few years ago, my parents decided to get a divorce. It was the end of their relationship, but also the one I felt that unified the whole family. I didn’t pay much attention to my parent’s departure, since I was a child all I did was wonder. Ever since the split nothing was the same for both, situations would become difficult for each but they knew how to overcome them. I learned to live through many hardships that were place upon me because I was the “oldest” in the house. I still dedicated myself to school, church, and my family. Other thing would always come second as I saw it as something that could hold me back.

Freedom to life, liberty, and the right to pursue happiness. These are the things that people came looking for in America. Some lost their lives trying to achieve their goals in the new world. But some continued to prosper and live on. These people are the ones I call family. Through thick and through thin, rain or shine, they will be there to fight by your side. Family is what I consider home, so looking into the past about how my home came to be, I can learn many things about how I am where I am now.

Whenever good things surround me, bad things always come around. The most memorable one was the time when my brother and I graduated college together (my first course before I ladderized it). Everyone was happy and everything was going well for the family, then a month after the graduation, the tides quickly turned around and my mother’s sickness got worse, she got admitted to the ICU in a hospital for a month and a half, everything quickly turned around so fast, financial shortcomings came and everyone was in a state of panic, shock and fear. Then came the month of June, my mother got well for a few weeks, sense of relief was felt by everyone. I finally got to continue my education together with my friends, I thought that everything was turning back to normal then while I was at school fixing my class schedule, my father called me and.. You already know what happened. It left the whole family feel miserable, mostly my father and our eldest brother who was working abroad. I realized that life isn’t cruel, it’s just

We do not choose the family with whom we grew up, it is predetermined for us by God. People often say that the most important things in life are the things God gives us for free: life, love and family. Our family is the people that were put in our lives by God because He thought them to be essential for us. As humans we like to be accepted, feel that we belong somewhere and are loved. All those things, we get from family. Is it therefore ever an option to give up on one’s family?

As a child, I had a happy family. My parents got along well and my father ended up buying a pizza restaurant after we moved to Myrtle Creek from Pendleton. When I was around five years old, I noticed that my parents began arguing and not sleeping in the same room. Because I was so young, I did not quite understand what was happening. One night, my parents sat my brother and I down and told us that my dad would be moving out. At five years old, I did not really understand what this meant. My parents went to court and decided that my dad would get custody of me and my brother every weekend. About a year after my parents split up, my mom decided to start dating again. It was not long until they decided to get married. Not soon after that, my mom found out she was pregnant. At this time, I was seven and my brother was 13. When my little brother was born, everything was good for awhile. But once my brother got into high school, things took a turn for the worse. He began using drugs at parties his freshman year. He was not addicted yet so my family had no clue. At this time, my uncle was diagnosed with Leukemia, which was a huge tragedy for my family. My mom had a toddler and was

Family plays an extremely important role in a child’s development. Typically, the youngest receives the most attention which is advantageous; this was not the case for me. Being the youngest of three sisters was not a pleasing experience for me. I was not raised in a negative environment, nor was I brought up upon a slum with an abundance of atrocious influences. In fact, the community and household in which I was raised in was quite the opposite.

I can remember it like it was yesterday. This changed my life in multiple ways. Why did this have to happen to me? I did not know what to think. My mind was spinning. It felt as if I were frozen. The only answer I could come to was to just cry. This was all my fault and there was no way that it could have been anyone else's fault. My parents were getting a divorce. My life seemed as if it was crashing down directly in front of my face. How was I not supposed to see both of my parents everyday? This was the hardest thing I ever had to grow through in my life.

Family meetings in my house were never really good. Each time we sat down someone would have gotten really sick, passed away, or some other tragedy. This family meeting in 2008 was not really much different, as my sister and I both got the word that our parents were getting divorced. As an eight year old, I did not really understand the gravity of what was going on. My sister and I stayed at a family friend’s house for the weekend, indulging on barbeque chicken as our parents went their separate ways. My sister and I adapted to this new way of life quickly. Both my Mom and Dad still lived in the same town, which made everything little easier as we went back and forth frequently. It was strange for us at first, but with the time we figured out the ropes. Unfortunately, smooth sailing is never guaranteed. Storms can pass, fast, slow, big, or small. The years would go on to reveal this, and much my surprise, those “storms” would teach me values and lessons that shaped what kind of person I am today.

Barbara Bush once said “ cherish your human connection your relationship with friends and family”. How can your family and friends influence the choices you make in your lifetime? Family is one thing the only thing that you need in your life,Friends is another thing you need too friends that help you at work or friends that understand you. Barbara Bush also said “ To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.” How can your family influence the choices you make in your lifetime? The family is important in our lifetime because the family helps you and may understand you. Family is a blessing in your life . Lucky ones has one but some don’t. Some People might think that family is not important but family is everything in your life.

My family means the world to me, I don't know what it's like to have parents that don't support your decisions because I enjoy and honor theirs. I don't know what it's like to have parents that push you somewhere you not sure you want to go either. My father has always been the kind of guy that will question why you're doing something when you're doing it and then when you stop he'll question you why you're not doing it just to see if you know why you're doing what you're doing and making sure it's what you want to do. Now that's not to say that they left me high and dry they definitely have given me advice when I've looked for it and have helped me as best as they could.

Diversity among families is a growing phenomenon in the United States. There are more single parent families and divorce is at an all time high. However, this diversity comes with questions about the state of families in the modern age. People wonder if families are growing more resilient, or if families are in a decline. In addition, people question if children truly need both a mother and a father and if children with absent fathers are at greater risks than their counterparts. This paper will argue in favor and support of these two stances.

Have you ever put your trust, and love in someone’s hands and they betrayed you? Well, I did at just three years old I met my mom's boyfriend, who I would call dad at five years old. Through the first three years of my life, it had always been my mother and me against the whole world. But at three years old a man came into our lives who would change our entire lives whether for the good or for the bad. This man feigned to be a great father to my family, although he was the love of my mother’s life. He was and is still the only Dad I know, the man who showed me how cruel, and heartless someone could be. Through the first years of my life up until I was nine years old I was the happiest and joyful girl in the entire world, filled with the love of a mother and a father. But soon that would change after the man I gave all my trust and love, who promised to protect me from all evil betrayed me by sexually assaulting me at just nine years old. At just nine years old my voice was taken away from me and I became trapped within myself because I did not want to lose the love of my mother. I kept this ongoing assault to myself up until I was fourteen years old. And my whole life changed because not only did I expose a truth that I knew the rest of my family sided with my step-father the “Dad” I knew, the Dad that was supposed to love and care for my mother and me. He was a monster to my mother and me, but an angel to the rest of society. According to my family a responsible, strong,

Some people say that we don’t choose our family, because they are God’s gift to us, as we are to them. I believe that a family’s love and care is unconditional because it is endless no matter what happens. A family’ love is everlasting, it will always be there. The love that a family has cannot be replaced by anybody. Sometimes, we encounter major problems that make us feel sad. For some people, it will cause their death because of depression. Every family should have time for each other, to avoid sadness and to make each other happy. Sometime we might feel unloved or get mad at our family members, especially, our siblings. But in the end, I know that we are still a family and a family will always be there for each other.
