Recommended: Importance of parental care

Today I am going to write about how my family supports me and why this is so important for me. I chose this topic because for me is really important one child to have a good relationship with their parents and siblings. I think that the parents should be the closest people on this world because they give us life and raise us.
Their biggest influence is when they support me and no matter what they are always open to talk with me, to discuss things with me and believe in my dreams. The ways that they support me are: When they listen to me and trying to understand my view point, they are always open to discuss things with me and give me their opinion but never force me to do something, they believe in my dreams and do everything that is up to them to help me make it true.
One of the ways my parents support me is by listening to me and trying to understand my view point. When I was young I had a dream to become a really good volleyball player and playing for one of the best team in Bulgaria. If we go back in the time when I was 13 years old I had the opportunity to play for the best team in Bulgaria in our capital Sofia. It was a really hard decision to let me go for my parents because I am from small town and to go alone in the biggest city in Bulgaria so young didn`t sound good. My mother and my father wanted me to go to Vratsa which is my mother’s home town and grandmother and grandfather live there and my older brother went to school there. So it was easier for them to let me go there, but I didn`t want to.
I wanted to be different I wanted be one of the best players in Bulgaria. I wanted to be part of this big volleyball family. So I sat I told them how important is this opportunity for me and how that was everything I was dreamed about. They of course didn’t say “Yes” right after my speech. Then I was so mad that I had to wait for their answer but now every time when I think for this moment I understand them even better. It was not an easy decisions. However, 2 weeks later after different opinions of different couches, they let me to go and follow my dream.

The diversity in which families are formed is now becoming even more diverse with the American culture, which is changing at a rapid pace. Diverse cultures coupled with social economic challenges are key contributors to the dramatic change to the institution of family. With these challenges facing the institution of family, this closely tightknit unit which has been the cornerstone of American society has diminishing from a traditional standpoint.

  • 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

Without proper guidance a child will not have the confidence or knowledge to make good, morally sound decisions.

And I found that very strict and abusive for my parents were kind in our abilities, they knew my weaknesses and strengths and when I came back with a low grade, instead of punishing me they would say, “Do better next time, there is always room to improve.” They never put me down, but was always there to tell me that I can improve even if everything else was telling me I
