My Family
My Family has always been a very important staple in my life, they come to all of my sporting events and school activities to support me 100%. They are always there if I ever am in trouble or in need of help, they can do whatever I need. If I need a talking to and I need to calm down and focus they can do that for me. Then there are the times that I have with my brothers and my other family and we have a lot of fun, memories that you share with your family you will never forget.

No name, no face to put with him, heck I don’t even know if I look like him. My family and I are different, there are families that don’t share the same situation as having four adopted kids that are all spread apart in age. Yet my family and I push through that and we look past that, people don’t understand they think that coming from different parents would divide us kids by thinking, “hey, you aren’t my real brother ” That kind of thing does not happen, if anything being from different parents brings us together because we are so different from each other we are curious to learn about each other. Some people see it as a tough thing to deal with and I see it as a blessing for my parents, my brothers, and myself to be unique in this way, and we have always been a religious family so we definitely believe that each one of us kids was a blessing to our parents.
