Essays on My Family
My family is one of the most important things in my life and I would not be who I am today without them. My parents have always been there to guide me and teach me right from wrong. They are loving, caring, and supportive which has allowed me to become a successful person. I also have two sisters who are both younger than me that bring joy and laughter into our home every day with their unique personalities. Even though we argue sometimes it’s all out of love and care for each other like any family does. Outside of my immediate family, I also consider my extended family an integral part of my life. Growing up, we spent lots of time together at events such as holidays or birthdays. We still get together on special occasions now even if it’s just for dinner or a movie night at someone’s house; it gives us all a chance to catch up with each other which makes those times so much more meaningful. One thing that really sets apart my family is how close-knit we all are despite living far away from each other in different states across the country; this means that when we do get the opportunity to come together it is truly special because everyone puts forth the effort to make it happen no matter what. It goes without saying that having strong bonds between us only makes our relationships stronger and lasting longer throughout the years no matter where they live geographically speaking. In conclusion, being able to call myself part of such an amazing group brings immense joy into my life. Not many people can say they have grown up surrounded by so much love and support but I am blessed enough to be one of those people. The values instilled in me by both sides will always stay with me wherever I go and whatever I do making sure that nothing ever gets too hard because having such an incredible backing system behind you helps push through anything.
