Personal Narrative: The Smith Family

Around 1982, the most terrifying, yet beautiful situation happened in the Allred family. The divorce of my father’s parents, Bobby Gene Allred and Debra Dixon Allred, split one family into two. Later in 1997, Bobby Lynn Allred and Gana Janelle Beesinger were married. This beautiful ceremony took three families and combined them all into a chaotic masterpiece. Most people get the privilege of two family get togethers, but I get that advantage plus one. For me, food, fellowship, and memories is what makes life jump for joy.

The Montoya family comes from all over, Illinois, Tennessee, Michigan and Missouri.The wild and insane Montoya family alway knows have to have a good time. Whenever the Montoya family meets up, anything and everything is a competition. There are many occasions that I would lose but once in blue moon I actually win. Whenever I would win no one would converse with me or even look at me. I don’t care though, hate the player not the game.

The Allgood family is hung on the city center stage, where they are about to be executed. The one who is the one comes and begins the exaction by vaporizing Elizabeth Allgood and Benjamin Allgood. But then he stops and listens to the chanting and cheering of the citizens before continuing. Before he can continue Whitford and Wisteria Allgood are dropped through an opening in the stage which quickly closes up again. Whitford and Wisteria split up so they can get away faster and escape there execution.

Hey I'm Henry Smith my parents died 6 years ago when I was 10. Willie Jones took me in when I was 13. Willie has 2 boys Andrew and Jack. They both get along very well, they see me as an older brother. It's been a crazy 3 years but then 5 weeks ago My life changed. Willie told me that we would be going on the Oregon trail he said he wanted me to start a new life... A life on my own. I was pretty scared because I didn't want to leave my best friend Thomas he's another orphan and sometimes he likes to sleep at Willies. Willie said that we'd be leaving in 7 weeks. We have been preparing very generously these past 4-5 weeks. I didn't know how much stuff Willie had until I saw everything. He had things from First Aid to a Spare Yoke for our oxen. Willie wanted to have me prep the

Honestly, I have had a pretty easy life. I have a house that I feel safe in, there is always food on the table, and my parents spoil me with unnecessary things. I cannot pinpoint many times in my life where I have faced adversity, but when I do face hardships, they affect me a great deal. Currently, my neighbors are moving away, and for a long time, I struggled with this realization. I am able to accept my neighbors’ move by the help of my family and God.

We started the day off with some lunch and moved over to the Kinney Center for karate and yoga. Jake was a little hesitant to transition to the other building but once we got him in the classroom we were able to start with some of our yoga poses. Jake did a great job playing group game with his peers. The first group game was similar to musical chairs where there is music playing and whenever the music stops everyone would have to stop on a yoga mat and do the designated pose. After that game, we played another game where everyone needed to form a circle and hold hands while maneuvering a hula hoop around the circle without breaking contact. After those two games, we had snack time where Jake got to play a game on

The second sibling was born January twenty-third of 1988. 28 years later, he has graduated from high school, attempted college, and is married. Currently and still resides in El Paso, Tx with his family too. As he and his wife, moved out of their households to live with one another, as he and wife moved back in with our parents. They moved in not only because of financial reasons, but because our mom is doing well and is getting weaker. He has advanced himself, due to the fact that he started at an entry level position at his work and is not the head manager. As higher authorities have been sending him to major conferences in a couple of states around Texas. However, he has been really engaged with our mom, as I believe he still resides in

As a witness to the average American lifestyle and one who has experienced time with many different families and many different people for that matter, I believe that there is no such thing as a person. Everyone has their flaws, quirks, or traits that make them unique, and not every person will always be able to get along with one another because of these differences. But our differences with other people should not be shamed but embraced. I believe that The Middle is the perfect representation of a not so perfect family full of not so perfect people. A modern American lifestyle lived by individuals of all types of personalities that somehow blend together well enough to create the perfect family situation to make a sitcom.

There weren't any new ideas in that book that gave me new ideas for myself. There were some things that I think of myself as an idea. An idea was that I should always be grateful and respectful. In the book, even with everything that the family didn't have, they would always have each other back and care of one another. Being respectful is also a thing that the family did a lot when Bran and Britt would always respect adult especially there mother. Another idea was being truthful. In the beginning, it was only Bran that was hiding something from his sister and his mother. If he just told his mother what was happening there he wouldn't have lived in the house because it wasn't his grandparents. Even if he thought they were. Those were some ideas

It was another gorgeous spring morning in Grovesdale, Pennsylvania a small cosy suburb on the outskirts of Lancaster. The sun had just started it's ascent over the brilliant flowering mountains. Trista was already awake in the farmhouse-style kitchen making pancakes for her family. It was tradition in their house that whoever was first to get up in the morning was the one to cook breakfast. She cracked the farm fresh eggs into the blue ceramic bowl and continued to mix. Trista always loved mornings and being the one to make breakfast, it gave her a sense of pride being able to cook for her family.

Skipping steps is unacceptable in the Henry family. My family includes many successful leaders. My brother Shawn is enrolled in the honors program of Lehigh for Engineering. My brother Josh takes classes at a local school while juggling two part time jobs. My brother Jason takes night classes at West Chester University for his Masters. My Father is a Chemical Engineer at Arkema, leading groups for research and testing. My mother is a supports coordinator for the county, helping those who need support for people with physical or mental disabilities. None of them skipped steps to reach the level they are at today, and I aspire to be just like them.

In 2003, the Warner family only went to church on important holidays. But after my grandmother’s death, we would be visiting church for a different reason. My family visited her house the evening of her death. We saw where she stayed in the last room on the left. I remember the old clock with roman numerals that I did not understand as a young child and the organ that had recently replaced the grandfather clock—that scared me every hour it rang. On top of that organ, she placed her collection of glass dolls, a candle, and a few pictures that represented how small our family was. There was also a picture of my grandfather (who I never met), because he had given my grandmother and my own mother a great life. I remember grandma explaining how

Life in the Bethel household was drastically different before December 30th, 2014. My husband and I have four children between us ages 19, 16, 12 and 7. Our oldest had moved out some time before December. She had turned 19 and obviously was “an adult” now and our family’s new “normal” was going well. We had a routine down, the kids were all self-sufficient and life was simple then. Like many families we had drama from our extended family. We are no strangers to sister’s throwing each other under the bus, in-laws ruining the Thanksgiving spirit, parents giving their two cents when nobody asked for it, and all that other stuff loving families are known for, but on December 30th 2014 the family drama and stress that blossoms with it landed on
