Summary Of ' The Client ' Connie '

My family is the most important thing for me, I would die for them, I would do anything for them to keep them alive, and they would do the same for me. Sometimes I don't show any affection to my relatives, and that is what makes it difficult for them to communicate with me. I try to be affectionate with them, but I get uncomfortable or uneasy. But, aside from that, I still love them, and as said before, I will give my whole existence for any of them. Familia will always be there for you, no matter what, and if they are not, then I do not know what they are. A family is supposed to have your back, supporting you wherever they are and wherever you are, anywhere you go. Even if you think you are a grown independent human, you will forever need them, there will always be a moment where you will be sad and you will want to go back with your mamá or your papá, or even your abuelos, or uncles. And, let me tell you, no matter what you think, the past is in the past the present is the present, they will not care, they will forever love you, and will be happy to see you

My family plays an important role in my life. I have a strong relationship with my parents, three sisters, two older brothers and my husband. My younger brother left the home when he was 12 years old and the family has no contact with him. My family strength is our support system and helping each other out. The other systems education, work, social interaction and health are also important in my life.

I believe family is such an important part in this family’s life because they are all that each other has got. They hold close to their family because they have been through so much and they see death all around them, so they see the importance of their family. They also are taught from a very young age to respect their elders in the family because they have seen much more and know much more about all aspects of life. They are viewed as wise and knowledgeable and the young family members cherish the opportunity to learn from them. In the movie Gran Torino one

Family is supposed to listen to you when you're in need. Family is supposed to have your back. Family is supposed to be loyal. Family is supposed to be dependable. Family is supposed to accept you at your worst and best moments. Family is supposed to make you laugh and smile. Family is the number one unconditional love that everyone has. Whether it be the unconditional love from immediate family members or close friends, everyone has that one person they go to in times of need. It’s funny how those closest to you can hurt you the most.

My family is composed of my father, mother, a younger sister, an older sister, who unfortunately passed away, and myself. I grew up being the oldest child, for my oldest sister passed away before I was born. Although, I never got to meet my older sister her absence has taught me to value the importance of family.

My family is important to me because they love, care, and believe in me. Though we may not have a large abundance of money, my parents love me no matter how rich or poor we are. My mother has been very supportive with my education. When I was about 12 years old, I remember telling my mother that I wanted to attend Oxford University and become a neurosurgeon. Since then,

She replied with Family is anyone that is close to you and supports you through your life” and went on saying that her family supported her all the way even past college and she still talks with them regularly each week. I also talked with her about her grandparents she said that her grandparents held the most status in her family since they were the most knowledgeable. She told me that her grandparents taught her that “success is whatever one deems it to be is you are happy then you are successful”.

Similarly, family can be related through blood but it can also be the group of people closest to someone. Family can be both blood related and can be chosen and be equally as meaningful. An example from ODACTTT of family being a group of people that are close but may not be related through blood, is when Janice and Barb are talking about Janice’s other family. Where Janice states that she loves, and considers them as her family by saying, “I love my parents”(Taylor 23). She considers her family as the people who care for her and support her. Although it is her adopted family and not related through blood relations she chose to consider them as family. The quote, “Blood is thicker than water”(Taylor 33) from ODACTTT explains how loyalty in relationships within a family are the strongest and most important ones. However it does not state family has to be blood, but it does say that the relationships between family are the strongest and most important relationships one can have. The final quote in ODACTTT is the most important one. Janice is showing her respect to Anne’s gravesite by saying her final goodbyes. Janice’s last words to her biological mother was, “Co-waabmen, mom, from your daughter, Grace”(Taylor 112). This was the most important part of the play because Janice finally accepted her biological family and accepted who she was but continued to allow herself to choose her family as well. Family can consist of

Family is important in every culture, it shapes people and makes them who they are.

"They are the family we choose to surround us, the sisters bound by love instead of blood. They know when we are lonely, and appear without being called. When we feel lost, they provide a living map to what comes next; when we doubt everything about ourselves, they remind us who we are." ~ Barbara Alpert

My clients name is Mallory. She is a nineteen-year-old, Caucasian female attending Indiana State University as a freshman with an undeclared major. My client currently works as a support services specialist at the Indiana Air National Guard in Terre Haute and is a hostess at Chili’s. She currently lives by Ivy Tech with her grandparents, mother, and younger brother. The client has “no connections” with her biological father and appeared apprehensive when mentioning him. Her stepfather is now remarried and Mallory has limited contact with him. She mentioned that his mother, her grandmother, is very close to Mallory.

An example of how her family values each other is her description of the conventions and norms of her family. They are thoroughly supportive of one another, attending every graduation, baby shower, birthday, and house warming party. Her father and siblings have burial plots together so that they are never separated. Life is lived with everyone being connected and concerned for not only each person’s well-being, but happiness as well. She says her “relatives form an alliance that represents a genuine and enduring love of family…”

Long Range Goal for Problem #4: Help the client build interpersonal relationships with several people.

Here I present my client Beth; I have very limited information regarding the necessary demographics that are very important while working with a client. I lack information regarding her age, race, cultural background, family history and where she is currently living. What I do know is Beth is currently married with four young children. She had a career as a general practitioner, until she had to give it up due to her illness. Beth while working as a doctor she found it very stressful having a job with a growing clientele and then

The word “family” is often used in connection with a person’s ancestry. Most families are based on kinship. Members belong to the family through birth, marriage, or adoption. Family plays the most vital role in our daily life and family is the finest thing that you can ever desire for. It’s the family who assists their child in hardships of life and give affection no matter what happens. Human personality reflects on what his /her family status is and what their families have taught them.
