Family

            When things or people fail you, family will never. Ever since I was small I was thought that family comes first before anything. Strong words to live by in my family, but even families have issues with each other. In the end we end up forgiving each other no matter how big the issue is. My family always has its back through the tough times and supports each other financially when one can’t afford to pay rent or food. My oldest sister is always trying to start discussions for no reasons or tease me for the smallest things ever. I simply ignore her because I try to always avoid conflicts that will lead to nowhere and don’t want to cause a problem for the commander and chief my mom. In Mexican families the main head of the family is always the mother because the dad will never mess with her or else no food. Whatever she says goes and she wins our respect not by just saying she is our mother, but by setting examples to follow and work ethic that is admirable.

            The dad is the enforcer and the though one that shows love once in a while and supports financially, but over the years the title of dad has been disgraced. My mom has become the commander and the enforcer of the family. The titles can weigh on a single person, but yet my mom has managed to overtake the task. The problem is that the family starts caring more about money because money is very important to be able to support a family that feelings are left out. Somehow we still have managed to have some time to bond with one another. Although my family is busy all the time, we stop at any given time to help or support each other.

            The support of the family is one of the most important things a person can have.
