My Family
History of my Family
I was born in a family where my grandparents and parents are all the knowledgeable persons because all of them had the chances to go to colleges. Therefore, when I was a child, they always told me that the knowledge will change people’s lives to a better level. Since the education in China is not supported by the government, so people have to pay children’s education by themselves. Today, as I grew up and I am going to graduate with my degree, I thank my family for their love and support over the years.
Actually on my father’s side, I almost have no memory about my grandmother because she passed away while I was in the cradle. However, my grandfather was a hero in his young ages. My grandfather was born in 1921, during the year 1950 to 1953, my grandfather as one of the volunteer soldiers, took part in the Korean War which was aim to resist the US aggression and aid Korea. My grandfather told me that after the war, he was prized by Chairman Mao and my grandfather was proud of his experience for a long time. As for my father, he used to be a business man and the profit of his company was very acceptable. However, a few years later, the government carried out a policy that this company should be owned by the government so my father left the company and restarted his own business. However, as we know, along with the development in this modern society and the decreasing employment rate, to run a business successfully is not as easy as before. In spite of the fact that my father’s current business is not as profitable as the previous one, however, his spirit always encourages me to study hard and to be a useful man.
As for my mother’s side, before my grandfather’s retirement, he was a governmental officer who always seeks the benefits and rights for the public. At that time, some of the governmental officers in order to gain their own profit or benefits, they used their job positions or power to do some unethical issues. Up to now, what I am very

    In contrast to the other stories in the textbook, “Albert and Esene,” by Frances Khirallah Noble was very interesting because it shows us at first how important to have a good relationship between a husband and a wife. Then it was a happy ending story. In the story, Albert was a good husband to his wife Esene by being there for her anytime she needs him even though she didn’t has a child. All he did is to make the marriage more interesting than ever by treating her as a lovely wife, a partner for life and as human being who has feelings and who needs affection. Marring a woman and think that she is only made to take care of the whole family, or even think that she is made to be good in the bedroom is it really the only important thing in marriage?…

    My background, the combination of being Jewish and Ecuadorian as well as the people whose influence have shaped who I am today, have instilled in me a sense of morality, compassion, and tolerance. My family has always been supportive, encouraging me to explore my surroundings and take on greater challenges so that I can go outside of my comfort zone and experience all that I can be. All my life I have celebrated the holidays and traditions associated with my religion and ethnicity, thus gaining a unique perspective on the differences and similarities between them. When I visit my Bubby for Chanukah, we eat potato latkes, light the menorahs, and play with dreidels. During Christmas at Grandma’s house, we decorate the tree, eat empanadas, and…

    We talked about many things around us from our daily life to our memory. At that time, we are being straightened to each other. Suddenly, our parents mentioned about our sister Chi and they committed that they have the most responsible for their daughter death. Their daughter had had a difficult time in assimilating with the American culture and in school because she fully rejected any femininity she held in Vietnam and embraced her true masculine identity to its entirely. As a result of that she received both a beat from our father and a teacher intervention. Perhaps, we should sympathize with her, or at least we should listen to her feelings and thoughts, but we didn’t. As they mentioned to her, all the member’s in the family eyes started turning to red. At that time, we didn’t know what else to say, Hung patted they on the shoulder and said, “That’s fine, Thong and Anh. Everything was the past, just let it passes over.” Besides that, I thought about the Little Niece beggar who I saw and gave all of my money to her in the Turtle Fountain. Numerous of questions pumped up in my mind “how is she?”, “is she still a beggar?”, and “is she still alive or not?” She is the one who made we awake and made me aware of my truly feelings and thoughts as well as how I act when facing a pain. Thus, I went to the Turtle Fountain the day after and hoped that I will meet her again and say “thank you” to…

    In my family, I have the clash of two different worlds. My dad's family is loving, stable and steady as a rock. They cry with me when I am sad and rejoice in my accomplishments. I have no doubt that they have read every article that I have written to date and probably have them printed out and tucked away in a pride of place . Most of all, I know that I can trust them. Another side of my family is the other extreme. They are a dysfunctional family not by choice, but rather by default. They would be the last people in the world to see this in themselves. As with many dysfunctional families, denial cuts deeply. The roles of scapegoat, hero, saint and caregiver are all played out. These roles often change depending on who is "in the loop" and when the others decide that someone in the family needs to be pulled "back into line." It is played out by isolating the" nonconformist" by gossiping about them, lying and threatening them.The cycle continues when the much maligned nonconformist picks up the" family rope" to tow the line in the interest of keeping the peace. They do so while ignoring the past and realizing that their decision to conform with the status-quo always comes back to haunt them. These particular family members had been falling out and in with each other and engaging in self-created dramas for longer than I have been alive.…

    Family is where love begins and never ends. Having someone to love is family. Having somewhere to go is home and having both is a blessing. My family unlike others is small. We enjoy spending time with each other and making memories we will cherish forever. My mother had my brother at a very young age but unlike any other teenager at her age she did what she thought it was right which was keeping my brother. Since that day my mother has worked very hard to provide for me and my siblings. A year ago she opened her own hair salon, she loves styling hair and everything that comes with, it’s her passion. It’s not about how much income or benefit she gets from the job but is just about the simple fact that she loves making her clients happy, mean while she also loves to meet new people and interact with them, one thing that comes with the job. Another thing about my mom is that she loves providing to other people, one of her favorite sayings is “no one has ever become poor to giving for those in need”. Outside from her business like woman appearance she is my super hero, my best friend, my guardian, she’s the one person that’s willing to pick my head up when everyone else has left me in the shadows of darkness. Many teens say that an actor/ singer is their role model but for me there’s no other better role model than my beautiful mother. Life has rewarded me with such a blessing as her, I never really did believe in angels but whenever I look into her loving eyes it makes it feel like heaven is on earth, like there’s no other better place than her loving arms. They say a mother’s love is the fuel that motivates you to do the impossible. I do believe in such quote because my mother has had many obstacles when dealing with me and my siblings. My mother has always been there for me through thick and when I first opened my eyes, when I first spoke and when I first went to school. She’s the person that has saved me from the bed monster and many more things. I thank God and…
