Recommended: Importance of parent adolescent relationships

Imagine flying a plane while still attending high school. This is something Anthony enjoys doing in his free time. I have known Anthony Bellotti since elementary school, but Anthony and I were never close, until we interviewed each other. While interviewing Anthony I learned even more than I already knew about his family, school life, and his hobbies. As I was interviewing Anthony, I asked him a few questions about his family. Anthony has lived in the same home from the time he was born up to now. He hasn’t moved since his birth 9/24/00 at MaGee hospital. I asked if he felt there were disadvantages and advantages of being an only child. Anthony feels there are no advantages or disadvantages because he doesn’t really think about and he hasn’t thought about it before. Anthony also has a havanese dog named Oreo, a small dog who can give high fives, handshakes, and sit. His family and him have had Oreo for …show more content…

Anthonys two biggest hobbies are aviation and golf. He has been golfing since he was seven with his dad, and he has always been interested in airplanes. He tries to golf five to seven times a week depending on the weather, and flies every one to two weeks. He is a member of the Greensburg golf club and flies out of Latrobe airport. His best personality trait is he is calm with severe situations. His worst personality trait is he procrastinates. His favorite movie is Top Gun. He just has always liked the movie. His favorite band is ACDC. Anthony’s favorite television show is Breaking Bad. He says it has a good story line. If he could he would be Arnold Palmer for a day. He would go back to revolutionary war. Anthony says the best thing about being a teenager is knowing you're closer to adulthood. The worst thing to him is that we are still treated like little kids. The word ‘Gucci” gets on his nerves a lot. His biggest fear is failure, he likes to get it done right the first

  • Applying the Sociological Imagination to Sole-parent Familes

    1346 Words  | 3 Pages

    Families are becoming more diverse and they come in all shapes and sizes. Some people consider families to be strictly biological, while others consider people they love to be their family. Although two-parent families, also known as a nuclear family are the majority, one-parent families are becoming more common in today’s society. A sole-parent is considered to be a parent without a partner or spouse who is the primary care giver of one or more children in a household (Ministry of Social Development, 2010). From the age of 14 onward I was raised by m...

  • Christopher's Father As An Autistic Father

    2075 Words  | 5 Pages

    How far would a parent go to ensure the comfort of their child? What if the child had a mental disability? Children with autism can be difficult to deal with and it can be easy to misconstrue a parent’s intentions toward their disabled child. According to Petra Kuppers’s essay “Dancing Autism: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime and Bedlam,” an autistic child has a, “distanced view of the rules that make up love, relationships, need, and care,” and therefore can be more challenging to raise (Kuppers 193). Christopher is one such example of an autistic child. In Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Christopher’s father is portrayed in a negative light, but actually proves himself to be an outstanding father.

    The second family that I interviewed was the Lyles family. Both Bro. Scotty, the father, and Mrs. Yolanda, the mother, participated in the interview and three of their children were in the room. Bro. Scotty was born and raised in Alba, Texas on the very same tree farm that he owns and operates today; he is also a deacon at our church. However, Mrs. Yolanda was born and raised in Guatemala. As a child she was raised Catholic, and is part of a large and growing family. She is one of eight children. Their family as well as anybody else in that culture celebrated their daughter’s 15th birthday with a Quinceañera which marked the transition from childhood to young womanhood. This was traditionally the first time the girls would wear make-up, nice

  • Patricia MacLachlan's Life Reflected in Sarah, Plain, and Tall

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    It seems odd that an only child, from an intact family, would have the insight to write so detailed about the feelings of loss and a blended family. When asked “Do you think a family means a mother, and a father, and a child? Surprisingly, MacLachlan replied, “No, I don’t think that. And I never had.” MacLachlan went through a time when her own mother had Alzheimer’s disease and was losing her memory. MacLachlan stated, “In a sense, she was leaving me, though not because she wanted to. (Author Information; teachers@ran-dom.com) Her characters Anna and Caleb feel that same sense of loss as they remember their mother and learn to accept Sarah. MacLachlan felt there were extended people who became your “kind of; parents. For a lot of children she was their mother/grandmother surrogate. We (MacLachlan’s family) are very strongly connected, my children, myself and even my nieces and nephews. What I am most concerned about is who we are as family and how we effect each other. I didn’t have brothers or sisters, and this may be where it came from”. (“Author Information” teachers@-random.com). It is now easier to see how Anna and Caleb are so willing to take Sarah into their own family. The characters in the book don’t cling to who was a part of their original family, but instead like MacLachlan, focus on how each character effects each other.

  • The 15-Minute Family Interview

    3056 Words  | 7 Pages

    Kaakinen, Gedaly-Duff, Coehlo & Hanson, (2010) report family is the biggest resource for managing care of individuals with chronic illness; family members are the main caregivers and provide necessary continuity of care. Therefore, it is important for health care providers to develop models of care based on an understanding what families are going through (Eggenberger, Meiers, Krumwiede, Bliesmer, & Earle, 2011). The family I chose to interview is in the middle of a transition in family dynamics. I used the family as a system approach as well as a structure-function theoretical framework to the effects of the changes in dynamic function. Additionally, the combinations of genogram, ecomap, adaptations of the Friedman Family Assessment model as well as Wright & Leahey’s 15 minute family interview were utilized.

  • Argumentative Essay On Single Parent Family

    1247 Words  | 3 Pages

    For many years, children growing up in a single parent family have been viewed as different. Being raised by only one parent seems impossible to many yet over the decades it has become more prevalent. In today’s society many children have grown up to become emotionally stable and successful whether they had one or two parents to show them the rocky path that life bestows upon all human beings. The problem lies in the difference of children raised by single parents versus children raised by both a mother and a father. Does a child need both parents? Does a young boy need a father figure around? Does the government provide help for single parents? What role do step-parents and step-siblings play? With much speculation, this topic has become a very intriguing argument. What people must understand is that properly raising a child does not rely on the structure of a family but should be more focused on the process
