My Family Is Like A Bear Essay

Joan Vinge once said," We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint, which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance.... And yet, we all know that life experiences do change us." (Brainyquote.com) My family is like a bear with its strength, nosey like a monkey, handy like a beaver, blunt like a badger, and bright like a warthog.
The reason why my family is like a bear with its strength is because we do not stop at anything. If we want something we go for it. One time in college, my sister had a moment when she thought she was going to switch her major because she was a mile high in stress. She did not switch, she kept going and she finished. Now she is in graduate school for Audiology.

Another example would be my mom. She did everything she could to help our dog who was 12 years old and had severe arthritis. She had him taking some of the best medicine to help alleviate some of the pain. He was on the medicine for years before he was put down, and she always says that if she had to do it again she would.
My family is nosey like a monkey is because we always know what is going on in each others lives. Even though that is normal for a family, we know a bit more than needed. For instance, if someone is in a room in the house and you are in another, you can hear what they are saying. Sometimes you can hear the conversation through the phone if the volume is higher up. There have been days where we will call or text one if their friends to see what happened during the week if we had not heard of anything for a few days. But usually we just tell each other pretty much everything.
My family is also like a beaver that is handy. Some ways I would say this is because my dad has a sign company that was passed down from his dad. My dad can build anything that he wants to. If he has trouble with something then he will find a way to figure out how to fix whatever is giving him trouble. Through the years of watching him and my uncle work with things I have also picked up on some things. Even though I will not be able to do as much as he can, at least I can replace some things if needed.
We are also blunt like a badger.

My relatives tends to not beat around the bush. All of us do not wait and think of a way to ask a question or say something in a different way. We come straight out and say whatever we have on our minds. Some people do not like, that but it is just the way we are. One time my aunt got me a gift card for a restaurant where I do not eat at anymore and I told her just that. She did not mind, thankfully, but my sister did. She could not believe I did that, but, I wanted my aunt to know before she asked about it.
Finally, my family is bright like a warthog. All of us can figure out how to do whatever we so please to do if that is what we want to do. My extended family is the same way. My cousin has done gymnastics all her life and she is still doing it in college and succeeding at the same time. Same with my other cousin, he is in medical school at the moment and can not decide on what to do because he is enjoying more than one career he has had clinics for.
Those are the reasons why I think my family is like a bear with its strength,nosey like a monkey, handy like a beaver, blunt like a badger, and bright like a warthog. I agree with what Joan Vinge said about how everyone is born with unique characteristics and those make up a

family.
