Personal Statement : ' God ' And ' My Brothers '

My family isn’t exactly the perfect American family, most have a: mom, dad, brother, sister, two sets of grandparents, and maybe a few aunts and uncles. Both of my parents work in the medical field and my brother went to school to be a teacher. Growing up with a brother six years older was difficult, since we didn’t share many interests or hobbies. He always played sports and went places with friends. We never were very close growing up.

If someone were to ever tell my younger self that I would one day be one of five siblings, I would have never believed them. Unquestionably, my siblings are an enormous part of who I am; aspiring me to become an intelligent and an affectionate human being. Life doesn't always hurl obstacles in your way, but when it does, it can turn out to be completely disparate and even fascinating from the original thought. At the ripe old age of eleven years old, I was expected to step up to the plate and take care of my new adopted siblings, David and Alysa. Countless responsibilities, circumstances, and a world of authority and gratitude have shaped me along the way due to that one event. Indeed, I am grateful that my parents went through with the adoption because even though I had an impact on my adopted siblings, they have propelled me to become an exceptional brother, son, friend, and student.

I am the oldest of three. I have one sister two years younger and one brother 4 years younger. We share the same mother but at the age of 4 my dad adopted me. My father was extremely leniant with what my brother, sister and I

For all seventeen years of my life, I have grown up in a Christian home and attended a Seventh Day Adventist church and school. I believe that growing up in a Christian environment has provided me with the foundation of my spiritual life. I 've been taught fundamental aspects and ideas of Christianity and have studied most of the common stories and messages of the Bible. However, even though I am equipped with these study materials and spiritual strengths, I believe that my relationship with God is shaky and not as strong as it has the potential to be. Even though I can proudly acknowledge that there is a God, I often don 't feel His presence and sometimes doubt His existence. I always find myself questioning my spiritual life and relationship with God. If I 've grown up in a Christian environment all of my life, why do I not have a strong relationship with Him? Why is my faith so weak? I believe that the answers to these questions can be found by acknowledging my spiritual weaknesses and using my spiritual strengths to improve them. I believe that acting on some of my spiritual weaknesses, such as an insufficient amount of time devoted to God, unfocused time with spent with Him, and biblical unintelligence, can help me to improve my spiritual life and walk with God.

I chose this picture of my sisters because it is my favorite one. I am on the far left, my little sister, Karrie, is in the middle, and my older sister, Kassie, is on the far right. This picture just seems like another picture of sisters but we are so much more, we are best friends. We are all so different but all so alike. We all go by shortened names, Kassie is Kasandra, Katie is short for Katelyn, and Karrie is short for Karrington. We have age gaps of six years in between Kassie and I, and four years in between Karrie and I. Not to mention how different we all look. I got the naturally curly hair from my dad, Karrie has the dark brown hair from my mom, and Kassie got the blond hair from her dad. Yes, Kassie has a different dad but we have never made a big deal about it

You have two nieces, it's really nice. Kids are amazing and innocent. One of my friends live in Hopkinton, he has an 18months old daughter. She is really cute, sometimes I visit him just to play with the kiddo :) Syracuse is not very far, it's really nice to have family close by. Do your parents live close your brother?

I have 6 siblings: 5 are older than me and 1 is younger. My oldest sister Aliza is 33 years old. She has 5 children. My brother Shimon has 2 children and one on the way. The rest of my siblings are not married. Tova is 28 years old, Beni is 25 years old, and Karen is 20 years old and serving in the army. Eli is 16, and goes to a boarding school and returns home on the weekend.

Even though the two of you aren’t technically step-sisters until dad and Terri get married, you two have a special bond unlike any of the other siblings have. She is seven right now and her heart and mind are so pure. She has an imagination that reaches beyond the stars. She is so open minded and unaffected by society. She loves you so much and she tells you every chance she gets (she also tells you that you’re her favorite and you like to brag about that a lot). You are such a big influence in her life and she respects you so much. You are also very patient with her. You play Barbies with her, you play school with her, and you let her do your makeup. She can get on your nerves sometimes, but you love having a little sister that looks up to you and you love that you can be such a positive influence in this little girl’s

I started my journey working for an adult behavioral program at our local hospital. I worked there for 5 years with amazing people. I now work for a substance abuse facility as support staff that treats not only the substance abuse but the mental health of the clients as well. I have seen the love and caring that the counselors have for their clients. They have helped me understand the problems that the clients are going through. I have become aware of the link between addiction and mental health. These amazing ladies have inspired me to want to help and hopefully bring my faith in GOD as basis for my career in counseling. I feel led in this direction, GOD has put me in this position to witness and help people through his love and mercy. I have traveled many roads

I address you as this not to upset you, or to bring back unfortunate memories but to show you, from your baby sister’s perspective all that you have overcome in your life. Also, to reveal to you how proud I am to call you my sister and that I admire you more than you have ever known.

Yes i'm very excited will I have a sister or brother? “Grandma this is taking forever.”

In conclusion, living in a big family like mine can make for a pretty chaotic lifestyle, especially when you are the the eldest daughter and third eldest child and considering the fact that you have so many little little people looking up to you. But overall, it is worth it, because you can hold so many memories and experiences with them. Siblings are a vital part of our lives and we should cherish the time we get to spend with

I’m glad to know that you have chosen me to be part of your family for a year, I cannot wait to travel to the states. I wish I would have a chance to meet you and know you well and be part of your family.

Welcome to our little family, and welcome into the world. Your parents love you very much and are excited to start this new life with you.

I love my three sisters with my huge heart, but sometimes being the man of the house can be too much to handle, especially when my sisters think they are always right. I am an older brother to Macey and a younger brother to Kalee and Kelsey. Having three sisters and no brothers is harder than most think, but it can also have the greatest advantages. Annoying, emotional, and loving are just three of many qualities I believe best describe my sisters on a day to day basis and this can make for a fun, love-hate relationship with them.
