My family is
really big. My great grandmother had eleven sons and daughters. This means I
have a lot of cousins and second cousins. When my aunts or uncles have a party,
I always meet a cousin I have never seen. This is good because I get to see
family from out of state and I also get to see how different we all are. It is
also good because when I was a child I always had cousins to play with and
spend quality time with. A negative would have to be that my mom would always
call me or my siblings our cousin’s names.
In
my immediate family, I have my mom Georgette, my older sister Ashley and my
younger brother Andrew. Ashley and I were very close when we were kids. Ashley
is 27 years old, married and has two kids. My niece is 9 years old and my
nephew is 3 years old. My sister lives in Valencia with her husband and kids. Andrew
is 25 years old; he has no kids and lives in Houston Texas by himself. My mom,
my brother and I all used to live in Houston. When my mom and I moved back
Andrew did not want to come and moved in with my aunt in Texas. Andrew has been
living in Texas since 2011.
My
mom is a nurse and works at St. Johns Hospital. She has been a nurse my entire life.
I love that my mom is a nurse, when I don’t feel well she always knows how to
make me feel better. My mom was a single parent; my dad has not been in my life
for as long as I can remember. My mom used to work three jobs to support my
siblings and I. I always remembered my mom working, she had one day a week
where she got to spend time with me. My grandmother use to watch my siblings
and all of the cousins when our parents were at work. My family is very close
and I rely on them for support and comfort when I am feeling down on myself.
