Another is when the same uncle …show more content…

What we probably do the most together is eat, every night my family comes together and eats at our table. The family rule about eating is,”If you don’t come to the table, you are not getting food”. Now, I’ve tried to challenge this rule once, and it did not end well. We also shop together, we go to a variety of stores, which include Target, Under Armor, Puma, Nike, and so many more. I love shopping because when I see something I like, I can persuade anybody. And when I say anybody, I mean anybody, my mom calls me a little businessman because of it. On Fridays, we go out to eat at the Bonefish Grill and I get the chicken fingers. The chicken fingers are really good. The big point that I’m trying to get to you guys is that my family spends a lot of time together and we all love each

    military members who share harsh, traumatic, or even funny events obviously become closer through the bond of a mutual experience. This is particularly true for Marine infantry; many Marine are brought up in different areas of the US, with different values, ages, religious and political beliefs. However different we all might look on the outside, the fact that we’ve all been through good times and bad with each other makes us closer than any civilian could understand. After being a Marine, I find that I’m close to, and always will be, than my civilian friends who I’ve known for years. Along with this, Pressfield talks about how, under all the glory and allure of fighting for one’s country exists the real reason that warriors fight; for our brothers in arms. Political beliefs, government stances, and flags go out the window, only to be replaced by concern for the safety and well-being of the men to our left and right. All of these things are reasons why it is difficult for civilians to understand what it’s like to be a warrior. This is perhaps embodied best in our motto, Semper Fidelis; Always Faithful, to our brothers and those who depend on

Dinners were not on the table anymore, and my sister couldn’t help with making dinner anymore either. We all ate in different rooms.

  • Essay On Cultural Groups

    The first group that has been valued by me and many other people is the military. They might not be everybody’s favorite group , yet the things they have accomplished for the United States, and many other countries are quite significant. For hundreds of years the United States military members have sacrificed their lives for not only America’s freedom, but also for other countries that have suffered a crisis. The military is currently involved in wars, humanitarian efforts, peacekeeping missions and as well as in state sponsored missions and country missions for natural disasters. Military members must be courage’s; due to the risky situations they must endure. For instance, they must be willing to put their life on the line in order to save others. Heroism consists of many characteristics that most military members should have. Soldiers are willing to risk their lives to save their fellow soldiers or serve their country in a war no matter what that cost is. Most of these men and women fought until they neither won nor got killed during a certain war.

  • 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

    Growing up in a military family, I have always had a large amount of pride in my country and the desire to serve in the armed forces. My maternal grandfather served in the Navy as a corpsman making nearly all of the beach landings in the pacific during WWII. This showed me how much he cared for those Marines who fought alongside him and the courage it took to be there on the battlefield. My paternal grandfather served in the Army infantry during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. During the Korean War, his platoon was taken prisoner. After several hours of capture he led the escape and safely returned to Allied lines. Several months later, he was shot in the head by a sniper and left for dead. Collected with other casualties on a dock he was still able to move his arm where he grabbed the medic by the throat and did not let go until they carried him away to mend his wounds.

    Does your family get along? Do you have traditions or a way that you can come together, or is that only for the holidays. Some families are like that, not being able to see each other unless it is an emergency. For my family, though, things are quite different. We only have one actual “tradition” though. Every year for the past forty years, we gather to where the family was founded and spend +4 days together as a family. While most families around the world have family reunions, I always feel like ours is more significant for some reason. Many things have changed over the course of 40 years, but all that matters is that we're together, celebrating how far our family has come.
