My Love About My Family

Growing up, I was always the one expected in my family to succeed. My mom would always talk about the future; I would go to college, a privilege she couldn't obtain herself, and become a doctor to make enough money for our family. This was the career path I've always been interested in since I was a child. This helped shaped my goals in life and inspired me to work hard so I could make that ongoing dream a reality.

I look up to my parents and hope to be like them one day. They are both determined,dedicated and hardworking. My mom doesn't speak English that well but she made it her goal to learn English. When my mom has a goal, she never gives up and I admire that. She taught me to never give up and don't care what haters say. My dad took us to America to give us a better life. He provided us with a house,food, Clothes, and many more. I am very grateful and lucky. He taught me to be respectful and always try my best in school.

As for every parents always wishing and wanting the best for their children. My family is always motivating and encouraging me to follow my dreams. When I get older I want to become a Neonatal Registered Nurse to help out my parents like they do so with my siblings and I, and I know with all the help and

For as long as I can remember my mother has been a remarkable leader. When I was young she worked as a manager for an apparel manufacturer. I often saw her in action when she took me to work with her on days I was sick. My siblings and I learned at a very young age, that hard work means something, and being passion about

Growing up I came from a family of two sisters and a brother. My parents worked hard to be sure that there was always a roof over our head, food on the table, and clothes on our back. My worked for various companies until he was able to obtain his degree as an electrical technician. Today he maintains his own business known as McGhee Electric. My mother also took on various jobs to make ends meet. She began work as a cosmetologist and

My dad works in maintenance in a textile factory while my Mother work in a Restaurant to support our family. Blessed by my parent unwavering support, it would have been more difficult to get as far in school as I have, their hard work inspires me to becoming a

One of the reasons why my parents decided to come to the United States was so that I and my three siblings could have a better future. Also so we could have more education than my parents had to have a better chance in life and better job opportunities. I admire my parents so much because I have witness every single struggle they have been through trying to give us the best and also because they are humble and strong as a family. That’s one of the reasons why I decided to go to college is because I strive to

Through our values, heritage,and traditions, my family has created who I am today. Although we can be loud and crazy, we are also loving and have each other's back!

My family has been super strong and almost inseparable throughout my life because we have had to move so mnay times, it has brought us closer together. My homes over the years all been pretty nice, but not like the multimillion dollar houses, but the middle-class houses. I've been able to grow up with pets in my houses, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and multiple fish.

While there are people that are inspired and motivated by the stories and actions of other individuals, there are also those that are inspired and motivated by their parents, like myself. Over the course of 18 years living with my family, I have come to appreciate the amount of effort they have made into making sure I succeed in life and making sure that I learn from their experiences. My mother, Melania Santos de Marte, has always been the one that took care of me the most from when I was a kid up until today. My father is Amable A. Santos and he was the reason why my mother, sister and I were able to come to the United States. He was the one that made sure we had a home to go to and also the reason why we were able to come to the U.S. in the first place. The willpower and endurance my parents have displayed inspired, and motivated me to get an education so that later in the future I would repay them for their support.

I am not a member of your typical, cookie-cutter, All-American family. My older brother is the complete opposite of the traditional, overprotective, role model. My younger sister is not the best friend all the movies make it seem she should be. My parents are separated but refuse to make it official because divorce is looked down on in our Nigerian culture. And I love every piece of them. My family and the things I’ve learned from them have shaped me in ways most will never experience.

I was lucky enough to grow up with so much support. Growing up like this taught me the importance of family and how to learn from them, which I believe led to an even deeper and rapid establishment of our family’s core values. My family as a whole has always taught me the importance of hard work, service, honesty, dependability, trustworthiness, and pure kindness. My Pappaw Buddy was like our superman; no matter what his physical condition was, he was always willing to help our neighbors. He never rested when he was supposed to because to him, there was work to be done. Another very important rule my family follows is to smile and speak to everyone you meet. Establishing meaningful connections has always been important to us, especially in our small-town setting. When my grandfather passed away, the entire town mourned; this showed me how many lives he really did touch, and how important it is to live for others.

I come from a world where I have an exceedingly supportive family. I am extremely blessed, as they have encouraged me to do much more with my life than I could have ever imagined. Growing up, I was taught the importance of values and pushing through adversities. I believe that the world I come from has truly shaped my aspirations because without my family and close friends I would not be where I am today.

Thinking back on how I arrived at college and having the desire to come to continue my education, my family is what hustled me along. Even though we disagreed with each others opinions or views on certain subjects, my family consistently will be my number one supporters, especially my parents. My family has and will always be there to love and support the choices that I have made and will make in the future. Either they tell it to me in person, through a text, a phone call, FaceTime or even through a post on Facebook, I know that they support me one hundred percent.

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
