My Relationship With My Family

Improved Essays
When I was a child I would love to enjoy spending time with my family. As I started getting older the more I realized that my life wasn’t complete.

I used to love her with all my heart, but now due to that sudden twist in her wrongful mind my feelings for her changed into wanting to tell her the damage she caused my family and I. Sometimes I feel like letting all my anger out on her, but I won’t because I don’t want to turn into the same person that she is by not doing so it makes me feel like I’m a better person.

    My family wasn’t around a lot when I was younger. My mom and dad both worked full time jobs, and the age gap between my sisters and I made it hard for us to enjoy spending time together. I’ve always felt that the big age gap between me and everyone in my family always affected our closeness. They all seemed so grown up, understanding things that I had yet to grasp, and doing things that I wasn't able to do. I longed to be able to be as grown up as the rest of my family.…

    It was a perfect summer day outside; the type of weather a family would enjoy outside on their front yard. It was at least eighty-five degrees outside with a slight breeze, kids were either wearing tank tops or tee-shirts with shorts and slippers, sundresses, or outside with their bathing suits. Outside you could see; kids playing tag, opening the fire hydrant, playing basketball and eating hot dogs and burgers.

Whenever we had family around it wasn’t just mom, dad and siblings, it was all of our aunts, uncles, cousin and grandparents.…

    The goal of Boys & Girls Clubs is: “to provide a world-class Club experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school, on time, with a plan for the future.” As a Club staff with little weight behind me to support this goal, it makes me a stone’s throw away from being labeled a hypocrite when I almost didn’t graduate from high school, let alone have a plan for the future. My childhood wasn’t glamorous enough to brag about, nor was it full of grief-stricken struggles that would warrant a tug at any heartstrings. It was simple. I grew up with both of my parents and my brother who was 4 years my senior.…
