Describe your childhood and your relationship with your parents and siblings.

I was borne in Arizona and grew up in the small town of Cortez located in southwest Colorado. My parents have been married for over 35 years, I have one older sister and three younger brothers. My father has always worked construction and for awhile he owned his own business. My mother was a stay at home mom and a home-school teacher. I was home-schooled in high school which allowed me to work construction with my father, this was the case for all my brothers as well. I took and passed my G.E.D at 18 and began working for my father full time. In 2004 I joined the Army and spent the next four years in North Carolina.

  • Compare And Contrast My Family Vs America

    183 Words  | 1 Pages

    My family is very different and has different views than most average American families. My family and I moved to the United States from Albania when I was the mere age of two. My parents didn’t speak any English when we landed in America. However, they strived for a better living situation for my brother and I, which I am thankful for every day. My parents didn’t expect me to do well in school and attend college so, they didn’t bother to take me to music classes or dance classes like other moms would do with their children. I would always be the child that didn’t fit in which in away forced me to do well in school. On the other hand I think my parents held me back from the opportunities I could’ve had. If they were to put me in piano classes

    When I was seventeen I nervously traveled about 350 miles from my sleepy little home town of Freedom, Wyoming to the relatively enormous city of Boise, Idaho to go to the Military Entrance Processing Station. This wasn 't the first time I had been this far from home by myself, but it was the first time I was making adult decisions without my parents involvement. When it came time for me to choose my job in the army the counselors presented me with a long list that I qualified for. I got tired of scrolling and reading so I chose the first job that I actually understood. I returned home and excitedly told my parents that I would be an infantry soldier. My dad 's response to this might be considered a little less than heart warming “You dumb ass. Why didn 't you choose

  • Middle Childhood Essay

    1642 Words  | 4 Pages

    Middle childhood is the second developmental phase in the life course. This stage is typically defined in children from ages six through twelve. Like most stages, especially during childhood, there is biological, psychological and sociological development. A key skill acquired at middle childhood is the continuation of forming a sense of self through the relationships with others. During early childhood, the growing infant learns that he or she is no longer attached to their mother and they are an autonomous being. In middle childhood, the child is less influenced by their parents and family as school and community relationships form. Erik Erickson, the psychologist and psychoanalyst, identified this stage of development as the time of industry

    Families with a member in the armed forces face a conundrum similar to the one faced by families with a child who leaves to attend college. Oftentimes, families with a member in the armed forces can find themselves under extreme stress because soldiers often spend long amounts of time away from home (Lowe, Adams, Browne, & Hinkle, 2012). Like in the previous hypothetical scenario of the college student, geographical distance between family members can greatly affect the interpersonal relationships between family members. If there are children involved, the relationship between parents and children becomes strained as one parent is deployed and the other takes on more daily responsibilities, therefore, decreasing the amount of attention the children receive (Lowe et al., 2012). While time away from loved ones is always difficult, participation in the armed forces often only worsens stress. Before deployment, active armed force members must leave no loose ends and even prepare a will and power of
