Livingston family

girl, about age four. I walked down the grassy slope where granite plates lay in the expansive field engraved with names. There was my whole family, gathered around a wooden box situated in front of a statue of Mary. I had no clue why everyone seemed so depressed, the sky was a clear deep blue and the grass was greener than ever. At the time, I thought my family had gathered at a park. It was when I aged that I was able to look back at this memory and realize I was at my dad 's funeral. The most…

The mother’s instinct to spoil her only child was thereby reinforced by a higher authority.

Imagine a world, dear reader, without your family. No one to hug you. No one to share your days with. No one to play catch with. No one to celebrate your birthdays with. Now without family, imagine your holidays: no one to take you trick-or-treating. No one to have Thanksgiving dinner with. No one to watch fireworks with on 4th of July. Imagine the loss of even the littlest tradition, like movie night or taco tuesday. Traditions require family to work, therefore it shapes your perspective and…

actions shone a light on the situation in a non-violent way and gave America an overdue wakeup call on a morally wrong situation. This process of change spurred by one person is common in American culture. Family units react and change when one family member’s choice affects the rest of the family. The breaking of trust within a marriage as a result of Proctor’s choice to engage in adultery corrupted…

9/11 my family and I watched the towers crumble on live TV that morning was the morning that changed everything. After 9/11 things became very hard on the Muslim community especially in America. The events of 9/11 in the United States have drastically changed my family and I lives. Since 9/11 we’ve been forced to move from our home, have endured airport security harassment, and only spoke to people with similar background or belief. Before 9/11 my family and I were like any other family. We had…

Siblings tend to display more negative behaviors when the new child’s disability is more severe (Schuntermann, 2007, p. 97). Parents and clinicians should be aware of the…

This has always been a motivating factor for me in more ways than one. However, I think the most important is that I knew at an early age that I wanted to be successful because I have seen my mother struggle to make ends meet for all of my life. “The family provides an environment for the development of personality and influences our attitudes and behavior. (Chekki, 1996) I am a lot alike my mother and siblings; I’m hardworking, stubborn and will do anything to reach my goals. At the age of age…
