Its hilarious moments and enjoyable characters have continued to stick with me throughout the years, which is what makes the film one of my favorite movies. The 1998…

‘fashionable’ my family is and if they followed the trends throughout the time. Both sides of my family are from New York and grew up in Port Chester, a town in Westchester county.

My mom, growing up in a traditional Italian family, went to a private Catholic school. This side of the family was doing well financially; my grandfather owned a tiling business…

My favorite relative is my Pap. He weighs a solid 170 pounds and is in very good shape for his age. Even though he's older, you would never guess that he's 60, which he just turned on July 17th. He's always at the gym working out, or with my family and I. It's not just his outgoing personality but the way is fun and how he still is very energetic. He has a mustache and always tickles us kids with it when he kisses us. I can always tell it is him by the way he walks, his legs curve out a bit and…

My family mapping initially was a difficult process for me. I struggled with the genogram modeling however, once I was able to concentrate on the structure of my family everything started to fall into place.

outside my foggy window noticing the dark, rainy, and dreary weather. Somehow I already knew that it wasn’t going to be a good day. I had a slow start to my rainy morning, as did the rest of my family. Still in our pajamas, my family and I watched movies all morning.

I was never raised in that normal American family. My family was different compared to every other family in America. I’ve always envied the kids who would speak English to parents who could fully understand it.

My earliest recollection of being different was when I was that new kid in middle school. Everyone stared at me like I was that shiny, brand…
