Week 5

Characters in my family: Family is made up of whom you allow into your hearts that help make you into the person you are today. Technically, they’re supposed to be blood or marriage related, however, I believe you can have family that aren’t truly related. Those are the people that are there for you no matter what. They’re the ones who I believe are truly your family. Not the ones who you are legally related to, because some of those people have nothing to do with your life. They aren’t the ones that help you through a tough time, and they aren’t the ones who help you through life. The characters in my family are a bit smaller than others’ families but they do make a big impact. There’s my mother who’s the nurturer of the family. She’s the one who will defend you when you’re hurt, she’s the one who will try to bring a smile back on your face, and she’s the one who makes you feel like you’re wanted. My father is the one who gives you advice. He listens to whatever problem you’re having and tries to relate it to his life so you can hear the differences but also you can relate them together. He also expects you to find a solution to the problem. Whether you follow through with that though, is your problem. He won’t force you to do something, but he does expect you to try and make the best of a situation so you’re not constantly down and depressed or angry. Lastly, there’s my brother. Even though he’s all the way in Maryland with his wife and working for the Navy, he tries to make sure he’s apart of our life. Whether it’s a phone call about what I’m going to do with my life, or if there’s anything he can do to help, he makes sure to try and bring out the positive in situations or in the future what I can do to make things better. Some things to look forward to.
