Personal Eassy For Family Diversity

Coming from a Mexican immigrant family I have learned to recognize since a very young age that because of the status that my parents are placed in they cannot pursue a better future like the one I want. I have been given the opportunity to challenge myself with obtaining a higher education than just high school itself. My parents have demonstrated to me through their hard work that I have to value this opportunity unless I want to end up with low paying job. My life long dedication comes from seeing my parents make sacrifices in order for my education to continue.

My parents Immigrated from Poland to the United States in search for better opportunity for the children that they planned to have. When my parents finally made the move, they started with nothing and no one to turn to; they did not even know how to speak English. All my parents knew for sure was that they were going to raise three children in America and do all they could possibly do to motivate and make them passionate for school. My parents have always wanted their children to achieve the careers of their dreams and be able to support their own family as well as be happy with their lives. My parents have struggled with money their entire lives, which is another reason why they did all they could to get to America and motivate their children for schooling. They did not want their children to struggle with money the way that they did. But this led another issue, affording college. My parents did not have enough money for their children to attend college. Because of this, I have done my best in school to earn outstanding grades and do my best to earn scholarships.

Families around the world consist of many variations. The traditional family includes a mother and father of the same racial background and their children. While this is the most acceptable type of family dynamic, today there are families that consist of countless different types of deviations. Many children grow up with one parent, gay parents, or with their grandparents. There are also families that consist of two parents that are of different races. Interracial families consist of relatives who are from diverse origins. Interracial families include families where the parents are of two different races or when the adopted children are of a different race than their parents.

Some were simply fleeing violence from gangs and deadly drug violence. As with many others, my parents sought to give their children a better life than they had. They knew that America had many more opportunities that could be offered in our home country. If it weren’t for the numerous sacrifices my parents made for me, I wouldn’t have the hardworking mentality that I implement in everything I do. I am very thankful and blessed to be able to attend college in a country where there is a tremendous amount of support to those who cannot completely afford

In the community I currently live in, we are known as a big and growing urban area of mostly Hispanic families. Most of the neighbors and gathering community express their roots, such as making parties in their front or backyard, but mainly for the children. They will have the usual piñata hanging from the tree, blasting mariachi or norteña music, having that outside cookout and just having a good time. Also, the predominant religion seen in Hispanic families is Catholicism, and they have a tradition of attending church every Sunday. I am Hispanic myself, being born here in the United States, from two Mexican parents, and we for sure do all those things mentioned above.

Until quite recently, the traditional view of family that has predominated society has been comprised of gender roles. The “ideal” family in the past has consisted of a white, middle-class, heterosexual couple with about 2.5 children. In this heteronormative nuclear family, the father is the head of the household and the breadwinner of the family, while the mother is the one who cares for the children and completes household duties. Of course, most families do not fit into this mould and those who do not fit have been repeatedly marginalized due to their differences. It is no question that race, class, sexuality, ability, and many other identity markers intersect in how forms of family may vary. As explained by the concept of intersectionality, gender must be analyzed through a lens that includes various identity markers which contribute to how an individual experiences oppression. It is through the use of intersectionality, the discussion of patriarchy, and the deconstruction of “family” that bell hooks (1990) and Michelle K. Owen (2001) paint family as a site of belonging and contestation.

My parents moved to the United States when I was a toddler. They had to leave their country because of economic instabilities. They came here to seek opportunities that they could not in Ecuador. They proved to me that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. My ambition in academics is a way of proving to my family that I can accomplish my goals.

I’m proud of my accomplishments thus far in my academic career as a result of making the right decisions in the challenging courses I take that have all been possible through organization and paying attention to my teachers. Through cross country and track, I’ve been able to meet amazing people who share the passion of running and are focused on making the best future for themselves. I’ve benefitted from being a self-motivated student to continue working hard in and out of the classroom. An essential skill I learned was how to manage my time better. As I continue to add activities to my schedule, I use a planner to make sure I am dividing my time evenly to academics and

My parents wanted their kids to have a better life where they wouldn’t have to worry about getting killed one afternoon or attain affiliation with a gang at the age of 5; they came up with the idea to move us to America. At first they struggled to acquire the money because the economy in El, Salvador is horrible, but when they finally made enough to move our whole family they took the first opportunity they could take.

Living in poor conditions was never easy when I was young. My dad worked in a coal mine to support mom, myself and my six sisters.

The idea of family diversity suggests that there is no dominate type of family, therefore none can be considered as the norm. However there are studies to suggest that in historical periods of Britain like when it was industrializing there is dominating types, in this period it was considered to be the nuclear family.

If I ever showed an interest in thriving at something my parents made it possible. I
