from the dynamic of my family. To begin, two years before I was born, my father was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. At the age of two he completely lost his vision. When this first happened, they initially thought it was a brain tumor. My mom had me with the idea in her mind that she might be a single mother in the near future. Shortly after he lost his vision, they came to the conclusion that it was actually Multiple Sclerosis. This had a huge impact on not only my family, but also my…
of all my hardworking that I had done in Korea in order to come here. I just could not wait what I would do in here with my host family or my new friend. However, everything that I expected and was looking forward did not happen at all even though all I wanted was making an unforgettable memory with my host family.…
I saw my family at the Cubs game and we all wore something the same, also we played baseball and watch it with me moms side of the family with our cousins, grandparents, and also aunts and uncles. After our long journey to Chicago, Illinois was to get unpacked at a nice hotel. But all of us wanted to do something after a long time in the car that we drove down in. So the parents decided that we were going to go to the pool and while we were their some of the parents went out to get pizza.…
years the most I knew about my life was that my great-grandparents came to Canada and were farmers. I learned Romanian culture through my grandmother’s cooking and the few words my Mosho (grandfather) would teach me. Most of my life I thought that my family history was pretty straight forward. However, recently my eldest sister was working at the legislature building in Regina when a politician pulled her aside. “Bistritzan,” he said. “You must be Hungarian.” Then my sister proceeded to explain…
When I was little I always thought about how my family back in Somalia were. Were they nice? Did they even know I existed? All my questions got answered during the summer of 2016 when I went to go visit my grandma. The day after we arrived my uncle wanted us to go and make bread (buur) in the sand. At first I was shocked but afterword’s I asked him “what! You want us to make bread in the sand? How is that even possible!” he laughed at me and replied with “Just wait and see.” The day finally came…
The Hoyte-Johns family is one stop on the crazy train no one would want to miss. My father Trevor is 40 years old, my mother Charity is 50 years old, and I am 13 years old. My grandmother Phyllis also has lived with me since I was little. We are a sarcastic bunch with way too many jokes to make. My father cracking a joke, my grandmother insulting me, and my mother watching it all is usually the norm. But we also take time to try and be calm, cool, and collected. Even if nothing works out in our…
last few years when I became to realize what our parents achieved and what an adventure they had made of their lives. By that time my Father had died and I had to rely on my Mother to fill me in on many details---this is their life… The Matic family story…
think about others families and customs? What is important for your family? It is true that Families are different around the word, I come from a Mexican family, and I have close family marred with people from US (United State)…
Throughout my years of existing in this world, I have witness my parents fighting very often. The first few years of my life, those two fighting give me an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I thought them fighting so many times mean that they’ll get a divorce or worst. It doesn’t help that I tend to fear my parents too, mostly my mother. Don’t misunderstand my statement from saying that I hate my mother or anything like that. I love my mother, but she has the worst temper I ever seen. There’s a time…
My family has to be as odd as it gets. Some of my friends even compare to the Kardashian/Jenner family without the fame or money. So I guess my family starts with my mom and dad. My mom is an Irish American who has lived in Waltham for most of her life. My father actually came here when he about nineteen to escape his war-torn country, El Salvador. My father was actually like a gpysy his eight years here. He first went to California, then to Nevada, Utah, and any other bible state I can…
