Describe each of your significant family members and your relationship with them. Include aunts, uncles, grandparents as well as your immediate family. What have you learned from each member? Be specific.

My perceptions of my family are that they are mainly very giving, and we are supportive of each other. My perceptions of my family individually is that my mom is giving, selfless, caring, and sensitive. I think that my mom is giving, and caring, because she cares about many people, who sometimes she doesn’t even know too well, and she will try to help them with things that they are going through, and she wants to help people through their health, or if they are in abusive relationships, or just by helping me with things, such as my homework.

My perceptions of my step dad, Ray is that he is a quiet person, and he is also unforgiving, such as if somebody says something to my mom that was insulting, Ray will hold a grudge and even though he doesn’t show it to them, he will talk about how he doesn’t want to be around those people, or how he thinks that my mom shouldn’t have
