Family

            Family is definitely the most important thing in a person’s life.  My family is always there for me whenever I need something, when I am feeling blue or just when I need someone to talk to. Family is more than just a word; family is a group of people who would do absolutely anything for each other under any circumstance. My family immediate family includes my mom, two sisters, my nephew, grandma, and my father; those six people have been here since day one with the exception of my nephew because he is younger than me but nonetheless, he is also here to make me laugh and smile. Family definitely has an impact on what type of person you are when you grow up. My family isn’t a perfect family; no family is perfect. However, I wouldn’t trade any of my family members for the world. We have our arguments here and there, but then again what family doesn’t, right? Sometimes our arguments get to the point where someone says something that they don’t mean but everyone knows it was just in the heat of the moment. At the end of the day, we really don’t mean all the bad things that we say to each other and we know we love each other and are always here for one another when something goes bad. I grew up in a house with my mom, grandma, and my two older sisters. I believe living in a house full of women is the reason why I have so much respect for women and they have taught me so much on how to treat a woman. It is always a joy to have a new family member, I remember when my nephew was born; everyone was excited. I would even get a little jealous because everyone would focus their attention on him instead of me. I had to accept the fact that I was no longer the baby of the house. It feels pretty good to have another male in the house because now I have someone to watch sports with and play outside and all that. When you’re a teenager, you tend to push your family away because you want to spend all your time with your friends or significant other but as you grow up; you start to feel those friends drift away, especially after high school; and eventually you’re left with the only people who have always been there for you, your family.
