A family is a sense of belonging and companionship. They are always there to pick me up when I fall and push me to achieve greatness. Getting through struggles and hardships brings us closer together and strengthens our friendship. They are a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand, words of wisdom, and an ample supply of love that anyone would need.
My family has grown closer over the years through the many battles we have met. In moving to a new town, we have all had to start our lives all over again; whether it is a new job or making new friends. Luckily, we help one another work through the problem so overcoming it is not as difficult as it would be doing it all alone. They have supported me in playing soccer and in making new friends, and I owe all my achievements to their perseverance in helping me. They are also supporting me with the struggle of getting into and going to college, which is a major step for me. Although there are still disagreements and hardships, we all have an understanding of one another and share the knowledge of what going through a hard time feels like. (no transition)
My family is always there for me through the good times and bad. I don’t know what I would do if I lost one of them; it’s as if a piece of me would go along with them. I would do anything for them and I know they would do the same for me. I am who I am today because of them, and that makes me ever more grateful for my family. Although imperfect and occasionally dysfunctional, I would not change my family for anything; they are close to perfect for me.?
