Stuckey’s family story
If you want to meet a family that likes all the food that you put on the table, you’ve come to the wrong place. My dad (one of the cooks) is the only one that likes mushrooms so we don’t have them a lot, but boy do we like our green beans which is a must for when we eat pretty much everything. Meet the Stuckey family.
First, meet Randy , my dad. He is 50 years old. He likes fixing old cars called ratrods, he is working on one now. He’s got the frame and the other part of the car that you sit in, there is no air conditioning, and the heat doesn’t work anymore, but he loves to work on it when he can get the day off from work. He also enjoys collecting rocks called agates. He looks wherever there are rocks, so we have tons of them. He likes watching Nascar, his favorite racer is Dale Earnhardt Jr. In his free time he likes to fish, hunt, and golf. A special memory I have with my dad is when we went to Agate Days in Moose Lake. We got geos and my sister took my dad's and the one he got didn’t have anything in it. I love my dad because he’s tough and we roughhouse and he’s my

She also listens to music. A special memory I have with her is when we were little we took a an old mattress and we tied blankets as seat belts and rode the mattress down the stairs. I love my sister because she can be very mean, and we act like cat versus dog, she can also be very nice and respectful to other people. Alyssa likes the Hunger Games movies and books, olives, Sonic Heros video game, and tea. My sister does not like peppers, mushrooms, and big groups of people. My sister is compassionate, respectful, a deamer, and

She stands a staggering 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighs a massive 95 pounds, and has short, brown hair and brown eyes. I see my older sister Leslie. Others see a model of perfection. Don't get me wrong, my sister and I are close and have been inseparable since birth. My mother has kept pictures of us ranging from the time we shared a playpen as babies to just recently at Leslie's graduation. For seventeen years, we've shared every life experience imaginable, and we've dealt with the trials and tribulations that come with growing up. But in September, she left home to attend the University of California at Irvine, leaving me to face life alone. However, it gave me the opportunity to live life by myself as Ryan, instead of Leslie's little brother.
Even though Dee and Maggie are sisters, they have very different opinions about how the world is. Dee moved away from the county to live in the big city, whereas Maggie still lives with their mother. Dee has also gotten her way and expects it from her family constantly. She's a very attractive, educated, and successful young woman and radiates confidence. Maggie has always been sheltered by her mother and is very shy and introverted. A fire that happened around twelve years ago has left Maggie's body scarred and her confidence crushed. She's unable to look people in the eyes and shuffles about when she walks. Maggie was also not given the same opportunities as Dee and is uneducated. Dee and Maggie's differences in education, personal style and interpretations of their African heritage make it a struggle for them to have a close relationship with one another.
How does someone overcome the traumatic experiences they suffered with in their childhood? “Nobody had a perfect childhood, not even the kid down the street whose family seemed to have it all together. We all grew up with some sort of dysfunction, and we’re all who we are today because of it,” an excerpt from the article “The New Normal – Healing from a Dysfunctional Family.” A person’s dysfunctional childhood could sprout from neglect, abuse, loss, or psychological aspects that they have no control over but, every bad encounter can be overcome by the strongest people. “Emotional and psychological trauma is the result of extraordinarily stressful events that shatter your sense of security, making you feel helpless in a dangerous world,”( Lawrence Robinson, Melinda Smith, and Jeanne Segal). The three steps to overcome is understanding, coping, and healing (Dania Vanessa). Each of
Have you ever made assumptions based on just one side of the story? John Steinbeck once wrote, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” One of the major themes in the novel Little Brother by Cory Doctorow is that seeing a scenario from a different point of view can influence a person’s actions. Following a terrorist attack on San Francisco, different actions are taken by characters depending on what they perceived.
My dad was the most passionate person I've ever known. When he believed there was truth in something, he strived to educate others in the hopes they might open their minds to new possibilities. He was silly and zany with a great sense of humor. His lively presence was always felt in a room. He was a voracious reader. If I ever had a question about something, he always had answers because he'd read an article or a book recently about it. He was generous with his time. He would do anything for anybody at any time. My dad loved toys. When I was a kid, he'd buy me things that he really wanted to play with like capsella and model trains. He was an extremely sentimental person. When he visited his grandson for the first time 2 months ago, he bought him his first model car and purchased the New York Times that came out the day after so that Matthew would someday know what was going on in the world the day he was born, he saved all magazines, he framed simple notes sent by friends that signified an important time in his life, he couldn't bare to sell his childhood home.
I am under the belief that the concept of time as we know it, does not exist in hospitals. Upon entering, one loses all sense of what time it is, what day of the week it is, and how long they’ve been there. Hospitals are places of healing, of caring, of great medical advancements and live saving procedures. They are a place of second chances, of last chances, and sometimes very little chance at all. They are also a place for dying.
I can remember playing mechanic with him, I would pretend to be tightening and loosening bolts for him and helping him grind all of the metal and always telling him I wanted to be just like him. I used to dress up like my dad every day, I would wear the same jeans as him same shirt and same hat. Most dats when he would drop off a car somebody would have to say "so where's little Russell?" and my dad would turn around and point at me walking right behind him trying to take the same stride steps as him

She is funny and always makes me laugh when I am sad and she makes me cringe by her cheesy jokes! When we were little we would go to each others house and play with our dolls or stuffed animals. Now we still go to each other’s house but now we ride our four wheelers and listen to music, go to the lake or movies. We have sleepover and swim and stay up all night and talk about boys and play pranks on our siblings.
Childhood is a time when significant events can and will leave impressions on oneself. It is not out of the ordinary that a large event will at least somewhat shape the mind of a child whether they realize it or not. One event that may have altered me somewhat was when I had to move from my old abode of Baileyton, Tennessee to Morristown to live with my grandparents. This was the result of my mother’s eventual passing after a losing battle with Cancer. Experiencing the “real world” so early may have changed how I think about and come to certain conclusions. I do not think this change in my life was necessarily a negative one, as I got to experience a lot of new things that I may have never had the chance to do. Sure, I had to grow up a bit earlier than your usual child, but I also probably reached a stage of maturity before most.
I lived with my father for my entire life, but due to his work I did not spend much time with him. My father worked at a different city; and thus he comes home only a few times a month. My father is a mechanic. He works at a company that is distant from our home. This was due to the company being the only one and the first where cars were being assembled in Ethiopia. Sometimes on the weekends I used to go to his work place. He would give me a trip of the place; the station was filled with vehicles, trucks, and motorcycles. It was separated by sections. In each section there were only one type of vehicle and the assembly process was shown step by step. From a fuse to large engine of the car, components were getting attached.
There are many differences between friends and family, such as whether the relationship will change, what kind of relationships they have and if they live together or not. Each parts show the essential differences between them.
"The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you." -Kendall Hailey. Many people among us think that a family reunion is boring. It is an unpleasant social affair where our parents drive us to go and stay there for a considerable length of time. There are odd individuals who come to us and kiss or embrace us while we are still considering "do I know him/her?”. It is because we believe that enjoying the holiday out with friends is much better than investing hours with the people, we “unfortunately” belong to. They have no other subject for discussion aside from our studies and grades. On the other hand, family gathering is always a new experience for someone who lives far away from his blood relations.
There are so many different types of family relationships. Whatever form a family takes; it is an important part of everyone’s life. My family has played an important role in my life. Good family relationships serve as a foundation to interactions with others. Supportive families will help children to thrive. The quality of the family relationship is more important than the size of the family. Making the relationships priority, communication, and providing support for one another is key to developing relationships. Family relationships are what make up our world today; they shape the ways that we see things and the ways that we do things.
