The success of my parent and the positive effects it has had on my family has been a real blessing. My parents struggled in their early lives, but managed to find their way to the top through hard work and determination. Both of my parents lived in Mexico tell there teenage years. My father was the youngest of nine he was born and raised in a suburb to Monterey Mexico called Cienega De Flores. It was a pretty good size city probably the size of Edmond they had a good economy, but just like any other town they had the people that were less fortunate. My mother was almost the middle child she was the sixth child she was raised in a small town in the mountain called Los Leones in Chihuahua. Where she lived was a very small community everybody knew everybody not that big not very developed town only maybe a couple hundred people with maybe one convenient store if I can remember right. My father had the opportunity to actually get to finish high school while on the other hand my mother only got to go to school tell the seventh grade. After my father finished school he began to work in a meat market and that was his job he maintained tell he came over to the United States. When my mother stopped going to school she stayed around the house and helped my grandmother with whatever she needed and helped take care of her younger siblings. School wasn’t really a big priority in Mexico because you didn’t go to school unless you had money that is why my mother stopped going at an early
My mother has always had major health issues, going in and out of hospitals all the time, but she wouldn't go down without a fight, and luckily, we still have her here with us. Any mother would want the best for her children, so one day my mom dropped everything in Reynosa and decided to move here, to the United States, in order to give us more opportunities and a real chance to succeed. Therefore, my parents have taught me to be the responsible, strong, and hard working person I am today.
A couple months back, Mom suggested I write a letter explaining my future intentions with Nick since I am much more eloquent in letter than in verbal discussion. Recently I’ve felt compelled to complete this letter as our discussions have become more blatantly focused on the eventual blending of our lives.
Growing up as a kid, the people I looked up to the most were my parents. As I got older I started to realize how much I started to influence my sister's and started becoming a role model to them. My family growing up hasn't been the greatest family or really even a normal one from what I think a family should actually be. ️
Everything that my family has provided just makes realize even more of how fortunate I am. In Peru, I lived in a small neighborhood full of poverty and despair. I went to a small private school that was two blocks away from my house. I was raised by my mother for eleven years of my life while my father was here in America working really hard to sustain us. Moreover, my life in Peru wasn't the greatest because of the circumstances I was living in but I was happy and very lucky to have what I
Researching my family and my background, I have found that I have ancestors from several countries, including Germany, Sweden, England, Ireland, and Scotland. They all came to America for a variety of reasons ranging from religious persecution, hope for a better life with better economic conditions, famine, family issues, and to colonize America.
There have been a vast number of lives that have touched mine. Many different people have shared a piece of their soul in my formation. However, it is my mother who is the most important and most influential person in my life. My mother raised me by herself since the day I was born. My father was abusive and she left to make a better life for the both of us. She has worked as many as four jobs at one time. My mother wants to make sure my brothers and I have a better life than she did. It hasn’t always been easy for her, taking care of us on her own, trying to pay bills and making sure we had everything we needed. My mom has always had us involved in sports at a very young age. We always were doing something or involved in something
Born in a country where education is poor, life is hard, and opportunities are very rare, I was fortunate to come with my family to the U.S in search for a better future. I was only eight years of age when my family had to go through much hardship in order to bring my brother and I to this country. My good fortune was accompanied by many challenges such as learning English, getting to know a wide variety of diverse people and adapting to my new environment. It was a hard beginning for me, making it difficult to find the road I was looking for. The people that really support me in every struggle I have experienced ever since I was born are my parents who were and continue to be my biggest influence. I am blessed to have such a supportive and
No matter the age, children are always precious human beings in this world and leaving them for just a few minutes can be a life changer, such as something unspeakable that can happen to them at any given time. When having a tight schedule parents don’t tend to think clearly, especially if they’re in a rush. Any parent would want their children to have a safe healthy life, knowing that they are in good hands. Leaving a child from the ages 0-10, by themselves shouldn’t be an option to consider. Children at those ages like to explore and figure out no things, even like to wander off, that isn’t safe for anyone, especially as little as they are.
Why is it important that parents make wise decisions? It is important because these choices not only affect themselves but also affect their children. Parents and caregivers are vital to the development and growth of children. Parents play a crucial role in every stage of childhood and can play a positive role in helping them get the best out of life. The most simplest decisions in a parents life could damage the life of a child. That's why the way parents raise their children play an important role and have different effects on their child's life.
My parents struggle has been an inspiration to me. They came from Ethiopia a country in Eastern Africa. They both came to America about 16 years ago by winning an immigrant visa, at the time my father was in the navy, and was deported to Yemen. My mom went with him this was the first chapter in their lives together. They
Three rambunctious, energetic children. Two hardworking, loving but frequently exhausted parents. One girl amidst the ruckus attempting to complete her homework. Five years ago, my family symbolized this chaotic mess, however, change is upon us. Promptly that one girl turned into me, Hami Abebe, a resilient leader who checks those three little rascals tidy up their beds, eat their breakfast, grab their lunch and snacks and punctually leave for school in the morning. Subsequently, when they come home, I help them with their homework after this, they eat Mother’s delicious dinners, change into their pajamas, and say their prayers every night. Even though my parents leave for work at seven o’clock and come home exhausted at six o’clock, they still push themselves to their limits to care for us.
Family is one of the most important relationships that an individual will encounter in his/her lifetime. I have often times heard the saying “blood is thicker than water” and I do agree that this quote is truthful. Many families share the same blood and the connection is very deep. Even families that do not share the same blood have deep connections that make them family. Family can be immediate or distant and can originate in many shapes or forms. In this paper I will observe my personal, immediate family and share some characteristic as well as describe in what way it relates to the family systems that we have encountered in this class until this point.
My family of five shattered into pieces in 2014 and changed my life forever. My parents had separated, which led my mom to renting out a duplex nearby, until just last December when we moved into a house. With my dad “working” night shift at the post office and putting alcohol above the three of us kids, we stayed at moms a majority of the time. My mom left for work around 6am every morning so she would wake us all up about 5:45 every morning so we could get dressed for school and be dropped off at our dads to catch the bus an hour later. That hour in the morning, which was spent mostly sleeping on the couch, was the only interaction we had with our dad since he was still in a stage of depression. During this period, dad rarely ever attended any school or sport events and separated himself. The alcohol started before the divorce. I remember I received 4 concert tickets to see my favorite band, at the time. I asked my cousin, Lauren, and friend Jordyn to come along with my dad and I. That night, my father slipped away to the bar and when he came back to the seats drunk he grabbed my arm and pulled me rows ahead. Security took my dad out of the venue then came back to get my friends and I. Emblem3 had just came to the stage and I will forever blame my father for ruining my 14th birthday from getting us kicked out of the concert.
Over the past years of my life, many things have changed, including my friends, lifestyle, religious beliefs and jobs. With everything constantly changing around me, there is one thing that has always stayed the same: my family. When I think about my most blissful moments in life, they all involve my family. My relationship with my parents, brother, husband and children is something that I learn to treasure more and more every day. There are many significant things in my life, but the most important relationship to me is family.
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
