My Family

Home
Me, my brother and my parents have only moved once. My first home was an enormous 3 floor house in Lauro de Freitas, there I lived for the first 10 years of my life. I loved living there but we had to move because school and work were too far away from home. We went from living in a large but insignificant house in a small city to living in a 37-floor building in a 6 building condominium in Horto Florestal in the city of Salvador, we became more insignificant than a fish in the middle of the ocean. Even though I miss my old house, I am sure this one will be just as memorable.

I know I can always trust them with my secrets and I know they will always be there for me but sometimes having a big family can be as stressful as losing your iphone. When two of us disagree everyone feels like they have to take a side and suddenly our family gets split into two pieces. Time is also a huge problem. Whenever we have family events if one of us is late everyone else has to wait. Christmas is a fantabulous example of a family moment. It is the time were we all get together, 100 people squished in a teeny tiny apartment because no one else ever wants to go through the “ trouble” of hosting christmas. Swapping gifts with my family is hands down my favorite moment out of the whole entire year and the one I look forward too the most but when I feel like the moment has finally arrived there is always a forever long wait, someone is always extremely late. This makes me want to go nuts but once that person finally arrives and we get to exchange gifts and so it seems like nothing else matters, like all the stress magically went away because we may fight but at the end of the day all that matters is that we all love each other above all

Home was always different, every 2 to 3 years we always moved around so I really didn’t have many friends, until I moved to San Antonio is where I found a great home in 2007, the neighborhood was filled with nice people and each house actually had a lawn and not just broken cars or dried dirt in the front porches.

Families are diverse all over the world, and no two families are the same. I never had a chance to meet my extended family from my mother’s side because her parents passed away before I was born and she was the only child in her household. I grew up only spending parts of the day with my father and the other half with my mother. Other peers in places that I would go to school with thought my family was together because they were more involved in what I liked to do when I was younger.

    Through all the tough and terrible situations a person may be wrapped up in your family is usually the group of people you can go to, and get the best most helpful advice. In my family I have certain people that I can automatically go to and tell them my problems without being judged, and I always get the best advice. People in your family are the people you keep closest to you because they are blood, and they’re not friends that come and go. They are blood and will always be apart of you and want nothing but the best for you. People in a family that give the best advice are the ones who have gone through so many battles in their life because they know what it takes to overcome them.
