Personal Narrative: My Role As A Member In The Graham Family

My role as a member in the Graham family is very challenging yet very unique and respectful. Since the day I was born my mom, dad, and all my family members have been training me to be the man they expect me to be in the world. They expect me to grow up and accomplish something in life and hopefully one day look back on it and have no regrets on any choices I made. In my family I am a young leader, I am the next man on the family tree to show others how to be respectful, happy, and live life to the fullest. I am the teacher for the next generation of children to pass on family stories and help them understand the importance of them.

My role in the family is to learn and do the task a man is supposed to be responsible for in life. I have been …show more content…
My moms ' side of the family grew up in a bad situation and in poor conditions. I am very lucky to say that my mom is the best out of them all, she has a highly paid job, deals with money wisely, and is always happy. Since some of them have went down the wrong path in life it effects me because I can 't see all of them because my parents do not want me to go down the same road and do the same things they did. My dads ' side of the family however grew up in the church and are strong Christians, I am always around them and learn many life lessons more often then not. My family still has family reunions that we attend every time that one occurs, everybody talks and catches up on each others life, so we all have learned to be very talkative people. I have a twin sister that is very bossy but is very smart and will help you with anything.

Growing up we both wanted to make our parents proud which made both of us very competitive in and out of school. However that also made us constantly mad at each other, which also helped us with controlling our anger.

Most of the time I hear funny and hysterical stories just because my family is full of jokes and laughter which is one of the many things I love about all the stories I have heard. There are times that I do however hear about my past relatives or stories that happened before I was even born, because my family feels I should know and pass on the stories to the next generation of children whether good or bad. They are always wanting me to hear the full true story so that I may learn from them and be more prepared if I come across the same situation some day. My family has told me many valuable stories to learn upon and I consider myself lucky to have a family like mine who care so much for me and help me be the best man I can possibly be. I think that most of the stories I hear in my life are to protect me from doing the wrong such as not doing drugs and going to jail like my moms uncle has had trouble doing in the past. I think that I also don 't hear many stories about my family so that I do not hear some of the wrong that my family has been in, either before or during the years of my life. The stories of my family effect my place in the family tree, because my family expects me not to follow the same path some of my family members have went down. The stories that my family has made not only effects how I have to act, but also follows me around. People may look at me different
