Recommended: Family relationship importance

There are many important things to me. The most important thing to me in the world is my family, my cats, and my church. Without my family, my cats, and my church I probably couldn’t be where I am today. These things have taught me the value of loyalty, happiness, and community. I don’t know what I would do without my family, my cats, and my church. My family has taught me the value of loyalty. I realize without my mom supporting me in everything I do, I probably would not be where I am today. As a young girl, I often took my family for granted and didn’t love and appreciate as much as I should have. Now, as I reflect on the past eighteen years I am so thankful for my family. When I was just a few years old, my parents were constantly fighting. The fighting and arguments untimely ended in a nasty divorce. When my parents divorced my younger sister and I were forced to go from house to house, although, that shortly stopped after a few months. My biological dad eventually found new girlfriends and the cheating never did stop. My mom would take him back constantly and there never …show more content…

My cats have showed me the true meaning of happiness. All of my life, I have loved cats and am known as a “crazy cat lady.” However, a few years ago we adopted two stray cats. Rosie was found by one of my closest friends, when she was just a few weeks old. Dopie was found on a Coca-Cola truck. I never knew how much happiness, animals and especially cats can bring to your life. These two cats have become a part of a healing process from my childhood. My cats have also taught me the importance of hard work and commitment. When we adopted Rosie and Dopie my parents made my little sister and I sign contracts, promising that we would take care of them and change their litter box daily. I often think of my cats and children because it is my responsibility to take care of them and feed them. My cats have taught me the value of

  • Personal Narrative: My Mother's Struggle With Cancer

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I was younger, I remember feeling as though I lived in a bubble; my life was perfect. I had an extremely caring and compassionate mother, two older siblings to look out for me, a loving grandmother who would bake never ending sweets and more toys than any child could ever realistically play with. But as I grew up my world started to change. My sister developed asthma, my mother became sick with cancer and at the age of five, my disabled brother developed ear tumors and became deaf. As more and more problems were piled upon my single mother’s plate, I, the sweet, quiet, perfectly healthy child, was placed on the back burner. It was not as though my family did not love me; it was just that I was simply, not a priority.

  • Family Is Important To Me

    1217 Words  | 3 Pages

    To me, family is the most important thing in my life. They always encourage me to be the best I can be and nothing more. A quote that I think describes family to me is one by Alex Haley that states, “In every conceivable manner, the family is the link to our past, and bridge to our future.” Through the stories I hear from my mother and grandmother, I have a clear link to my families past and the generation of women that led to me. All the values these women held close to them throughout the years have led to the formation of myself and my values. Over the past three generations, the women in my family have overcome oppression. My mother, growing up in a time where women could never have aspirations to be CEO’s or politicians, somehow came out stronger. She saw what she didn’t want for her future, and jumped at the chance to start a new life in America. No single model of family life characterizes the American family, despite ideological beliefs to the contrary (Andersen). My family couldn’t be labeled an “Italian family” or an “American family.” We are a mix of the two cultures and ideologies, which is what makes us different. I am the first women in my mother’s family to be born and raised in America. My great grandmother had a complete different childhood and adolescence experience than I yet we still have a common cultural base. All her ideals were passed onto my grandmother, than all the down to me, a hundred years in the making to become who I am

Looking back I now realize it was a problem every child needs, having a loving father.

    Have you ever been influenced by some important person that helped you be the person that you are today? I have been. The people that have had influence on me are the most important humans beings, my family. But before I begin talking about my family, I want to describe to you the place that we spend most of the time together which also means something important to me and my family. This place is called the family room. This room is small but cozy. It is painted in white and has three windows decorated with beautiful curtains. By the windows you can appreciate a nice view of some beautiful trees and a nice pool. On the walls there are some family photos like the ones that show where my brothers and I were born, my graduation photo, some family members photos like my grandparents, and some paintings made by one of my brothers. Also inside this room there is a nice home theater that includes a nice stereo and TV, and a new compact computer. But this is not all, this room has some very comfortable furniture and I can say that they are comfortable because I use them to watch TV, a movie, or just sit and rest. Also the furniture is used by my brothers to sit and play nitendo, to study, or play with the computer. But from all this furniture there is one chair that is the most cozy chair that I have ever sat upon and that is my father's chair. So this is our room, which is very important to us and has a lot of special things, but the most special part of this room is when it brings my family together.
