My Family Essay

I looked up the dictionary definition of family, and this is what it included: “all the descendants of a common ancestor” or “a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household.” My definition of family is much different than that. It 's less analytical and generalized.

Family Changes It was another typical school morning at my house. I, Mercadey Hilton was ready for another day of school- High school to be exact.

My family has always been the most important thing in my life. I had always thought that family should always be protective and should cause no harm. It was hard for me to think that on October 9th of 2012 when my mother had received the call from my aunt that lives in Chicago who was accusing me of stealing her identity, and information from a case that she said she was supposedly going to get millions of dollars Why would one’s own family would want to cause harm and somehow destroy part of…

I wouldn't say that my family has traditions when it comes to holidays because its nothing special. For example for Thanksgiving, every year, most of my family agree's to go to one house. From there, we usually just hang out and wait to eat.

My definition if family applies to my own family very well. I have many family members that I call aunt and uncle,…
