A Story Of My Family

A Story Of My Family
Every family has their fair share of stories to tell with each generation. My grandparents told my sister and me some interesting stories and my parents
passed them on to my sister and I. Through all the experiences that they have shared with us, it felt as if we were with them and shared that moment
together. With all the stories that 'exist' it was inevitable that there were a few stories that intrigued us or stuck with us wherever we go.
One story that interested me was about the eventful time that my family had leading up to my parents' wedding on October 27, 1999. A week before
the wedding there was a festival known as Diwali so everybody on mom's side met to have some fun. Everybody was playing cards in the house as
it was raining outside. Around 10 pm the power went out, and in India, the power going out when there is heavy raining is nothing out of the
ordinary. They continued to play cards in the light of a few candles, and around 12 it began to get windy and even at this point, nobody realized that
anything bad was going on. It continued to get worse outside eventually, it got bad enough that the windows began to break and the wind began to rush
through the ventilators. This caught their attention because the houses in India are made of concrete and the doors are made of iron. The storm was
steadily increasing in strength and water began to rush into the house. As the night progressed, they began to see trees fall down by the dozens.
Grandma and Grandpa began to

The Writer In The Family Short Story
In John Updike's "A&P," and E.L. Doctorow's "The Writer in The Family," two boys take part in a journey of their early lives and find the words they
need to be advocate for themselves. Both Sammy and Jonathan defy an adult authoritative figure; nevertheless, they handle their rebellion differently.
Despite these differences, their experiences lead them both on a similar path of self discovery. The opposition and determination these characters
demonstrate throughout each story shows the struggles that come with growing up and accepting oneself as an independent person.
The first similarity these boys face is an adult authority figure. In "A&P," Sammy works a job and lives a life he does not want because his parents
are expecting him to go down the same path as they did. Sammy does what is considered normal for someone his age. He describes looking outside
and seeing "about twenty–seven old freeloaders tearing up Central Street because the sewer broke again. It's not as if we're on the Cape; we're north
of Boston and there's people in this town haven't seen the ocean for twenty years." (Updike.) In "The Writer in the Family," Aunt Francis is asking
Jonathan to complete difficult tasks repeatedly for selfish reasons. After his father dies, Jonathan is made to write letters to his grandma so that she
won't be distressed over the news. His Aunt bullies him into doing this so that she can feel closer to her late brother, not caring about what pain it may
cause Jonathan.

Each generation of a family has their story. Each family member has gone through different experiences that have helped shape them. These
experiences are part of their life. Everybody has a story that made them who they are. Opportunities can come your way and shape your life for the
better. Sometimes, bad events occur that shape us, but those events can make us stronger. Families face both good times and hardships, this is what

horse. One day he brought home a cutting and penning horse named Silver. Silver was a silver–dapple colored gelding with a short, clean coat and a
long, glossy mane. My grandpa loved to train horses and teach them new tricks to surprise my dad. My grandpa taught Silver how to count to ten
with his hooves. It's something I wished I could have been alive to see. My grandpa also taught Silver to rear up on command. Silvers' special trick
was that he could run up and jump onto a hay rack on command. My dad was in awe when he saw Silver take long strides and leap with all of his
heart onto that old, wooden hayrack beside the barn. Silver was also very beneficial because he could work with cattle calmly. Silver was able to

eyes. Her parents adored her.
Eighteen years passed by and there was a big riot going on in Athens in protest of Zeus letting Hades capture Persephone. Zeus wanted to teach the
citizens of Athens a lesson by sending them terrible storms. Innocent Oakley didn't know about the threats from Zeus, but her parents did.
Her parents didn't want Oakley to fear of the storm coming their way, so they didn't tell her. Her parents also didn't want to leave Athens
themselves, they knew they didn't have the energy to do so. In result, they had to try and get Oakley to move by herself, without letting her know
of the great dangers ahead. Oakley was in her room, sewing a new blanket for her bed. Her mother called for her to come downstairs. So of course,
she made her way downstairs and saw her parents sitting on the couch, with a depressed look on their face. "What's wrong?" said Oakley. "Honey,

own safety darling." "What is going on? I'm completely happy here in Athens! You must tell me why you are shipping me off to another city!" said

Family Story And Origin Of A New Environment
Every family story and origin is unique to the members of the immediate group, while including the traditions passed from generation to generation.
From the scent of their house and clothes, special holidays, vacation spots, memories, what they eat and how it is served; all of these elements of life
are distinct to a family. These elements are incorporated into what is viewed as normal life in a way that we don't see how our lives differ from those
around us, until we are faced with a situation where things are done differently than us. Many families contain multi – cultural backgrounds, therefore
providing generations with traditions that include folklore from different origins. One of the biggest elements of culture how dishes are served and
prepared. If you ever travel, one of the biggest attractions to a new environment is the food that is served in that area. Some food traditions are
difficult to explain and don't make sense to outsiders, but to the family or local group it is a sense of definition and unity through foodways. In
Louisiana especially, with Cajun culture, we see many festivals and events that are food based, and the pride in the locals that serve it. My family, all
born and raised in the South, participate in the spicy food, crawfish boils, jambalaya sales, gumbo cooking events that this culture offers. From a young
age I can remember waking up on a Saturday morning in the fall, feeling the crisp air flow through the house as we had the windows open,

Telling Family Story : A Short Story
Telling family stories is the basis of family dinners in my house; whenever we all gather around my dining room table I know I'm going to hear
interesting stories from my parents lives. Growing up the person, besides my parents, that had the biggest influence on my life was my Grandpa
Dave. He was my dads adopted father, and he played a major role in my childhood. Everytime I visited he always had stories to tell about my dad
and what he was like as a child. My favorite story that he ever told me was about the time that he and my father went camping. "Your dad was
really excited to go, especially do to the fact that he was missing school for it. When he was packing his bag he was jumping all over the place, full
of excitement, I didn't think anyhting could ever ruin his good mood," my grandfather said with a slight smile on his face, recalling the old
memory. "We left off on our hike to the camping spot a little earlier than usual because I knew that he would get distracted by the view on the way
up," I could see the happiness in my grandfathers eyes as he told the story. "When we got to the camping spot your father gasped as he took in the
sites around him. He had the biggest smile that I've ever seen on his face, and it somehow got bigger when he noticed the river passing through our
land, back then the apple orchid in the back yard went even further, but that was before I got to old to tend to it. Anyways the boy asked me, 'Can
we go fishing?' and I couldn't tell him 'No'," My grandpas wife came outside just then and brought us drinks. My grandpa took a long drink from
his glass before setting it down and sighing, he started to tell the story again. "I got his pole ready for him as he searched for bait at the shore of
the river. 'Come and get it Rob', I called to the child. He excitedly ran towards me with his hands cupped together. 'Its ready for you all you have to
do is put some bait on it and then you are good to go'. He grinned at me before opening his hands up to me, 'I got a big one, its huge." He took the
pole from my hands and quickly, but tightly put his worm onto the hook. I started to set up the tents as he continued to fish, and a few minutes later I
heard a loud cheer

This was my favorite time of day, when the sun was going down, yet it was still early and you had time to do anything you pleased. The sunset was
about to come out soon and the temperature was just about right, I appreciated a lot of the things I have around this time. We ate dinner and I was
very pleased with the food my mother had made. I feel as if she had gotten better, or maybe I just missed her cooking and it tasted extra delicious
tonight.
Lastly, I had finished dinner and I got up from my chair. I went to end of my mother's bed and went through the trunk. As I started to dig, I found
exactly what I was looking for. The whole point of coming back to my house, was so that I could look for antiques in the house. My husband and I
planned on hanging, whatever we got from my mother, on the wall. "Mama, can I have these old quilts?", I asked her. "I promised to give those
quilts to Maggie, for when she marries John Thomas", momma told me. I gasped loudly as if I was somehow running out of breath to breath.
Maggie would never be able to appreciate these quilts like I would. Momma and I argued about how Maggie would most likely ruin the quilts before
they could turn five years old. "You just don't understand," I said while she looked at weirdly "Your heritage." I guess I didn't care as much as I

My Family Story : A Grandmother's Tale
A Grandmother's Tale
As I am listening on the phone to my family history learning where and who I come from, I suddenly realize why I am the way I am. I could
imagine my grandmother looking out over the plantation at the sugarcane and soybean fields telling me about all the generations that grew up there.
She was painting a clearer image of my ancestors as the minutes passed. The land has changed with time, as the lives of the many women who have
lived there; however, their love for the land has endured. That love and passion has shaped my family into who we are today. Owning the Riverlake
Plantation over the generations has given my family a chance to raise strong, independent people who will grow up to do something extraordinary with
their life.
It all started with a woman named Mary Ann Flynn and a man named Charles Wilson. Mary Ann and Charles both lived in Ireland where they met
and fell in love, which caused an unsolvable problem. He was Protestant and she was Catholic. Charles' family would never allow him to marry Mary
Ann because Catholics were considered the "lower class." Mary Ann and Charles both decided that they could not bear to break up, so they left
everyone and everything behind and immigrated to America. Charles became a successful contractor, leaving the household in Mary Ann's care.
Charles and Mary Ann eventually had a son, Alexander, who grew up to own a sugar plantation called Highland. He married my great–great–great
grandmother, Nora Hogan. The

My Family : A Short Story
Growing up, my family was ideal. My sisters and I were all very happy and very coddled by my father, he was my hero in my early years, he would
always be the fun and loving parent when my mom would yell. My dad was into welding, fishing, and playing guitar, I thought that no dad could
possibly be more outstanding or influential than my own, he was impeccably intelligent and resourceful. My family and I had not spent a holiday apart,
the amount of love that took place in our home was uncomparable. While growing up in my household, I had not faced many issues with myself
and my family, we had always felt secure with one another and spent our days happily together, just us five. Until one day that five became a four.
As I had gotten a little older, my parents started losing their love for each other, I was incredibly naive as a girl and felt as if this was temporary, as
if were to stop at any moment and would end and we could somehow seem to not acknowledge what took place the previous night as all of us sat in
our diningroom and devoured our breakfast in uncomforting silence. In every family you will encounter an argument between parents, but to me it
was as if the world had plunged into a vortex. I never imagined them separating, I knew my sisters and I would not be able to handle that and we
would slowly and mentally separate ourselves as well. I could not handle the heartbreak any longer so I eventually asked my mom a simple question, I
asked her where her love had

The Oppression Of Family Stories
Throughout the trimester the stories we have read in class all have pressures from others that affect the way the characters in them react to the
situations they find themselves in. Having class discussions about the way characters act in these stories gives me a better understanding of why
people respond to life in the way they do. These stories give my peers and I the ability look at life through different perspectives. Brief encounters,
pressures, or dreams that parents, peers, or our community put on us can make us behave in positive and/or negative ways outside our norm.
When I attend family gatherings the question I get asked the most, after being asked by my Aunt Linda what my love life is like, is what do I have
planned for my

Family And Love : A Short Story
"The most important thing in the world is family and love." At least that's what John Wooden said. That quote alone could make people ponder deeply
about family, but for my brother Jared, and I that was a whole different story. Since the beginning, my brother and I have always been unfair, and
unkind to each other. From getting into little fights over the smallest things to getting on the ground wrestling each other; my brother and I haven't
always gotten along. We would always say we were going to start being nicer, but it would never work out until him, and I had amind changing
experience with a small story and dream. Ultimately, my brother and I aren't like your stereotypical goody–two–shoes brothers, but in the end, we were
able to overcome that hatred and replace it with love and friendship.
From as far back as I can remember my brother and I have always been almost polar opposites. It would sometimes get so bad that our
disagreements would get out of hand, and our parents would have to break us apart from our whirlwind of a fight. Very recently my brother had a
dream about him, and I during one of our fights. The whole night of the dream he was rustling in his blue sheet covered bed until he finally decided
to wake me up and tell me what he dreamed. In the dream, he said very mean things to me, picking on me, and calling me names to the point where I
started crying. In the dream, he noticed what he had done, and had remorse for the actions he had made. "You know I

My Immigration Story : The Story Of My Family Immigration
My family immigration story involves a lot of typical topics and a few hardships which people may not expect. By my generation, we have become
accepted as White. However, both of my grandmothers had mixed ancestry.
On my father's side, my grandfather's grandfather moved to the United States in the late 1800's from Germany. This was just before the federal
government took over the immigration process. An American company had advertised in his town that they should move to theUnited States. Fishman,
and a large amount of people from his town moved to Beloit, Wisconsin.1 Wisconsin has a high German population to this day. I imagine that they all
had to pass the strict inspectors of Ellis Island. He stayed in Wisconsin and married a German woman. His son stayed in Wisconsin and married a
German woman. That son was my grandfather's father. My grandmother was a Mexican–American, born in East Los Angeles. Her mother came from
Guadalajara, Mexico. I do not know why she chose to migrate.
My grandfather was born in Wisconsin during the Great Depression. He moved back and forth between Chicago, Illinois and Beloit, Wisconsin growing
up. His household was impoverished. While culturally German, his family lived in the Polish neighborhood of Chicago. At this time, racial tensions
between different Europeans in the United States was still high. "During this time we saw, for example, the Irish "become" white and the "heathen"
Asians transformed into model minorities."2 Carl grew up fast,

My Family Story
The stories from our parents and grandparents always hold a special place in our hearts, for just an instance we get to see what the world was like
from a more mature individual's perspective, we get to live the days they did through the stories they share. My grandma, or what she is to me; my
meme, has shared a variety of stories from her childhood that has allowed me to see some of the challenges and opportunities she had faced growing
up. My favorite story she has shared with me would be about the time my memes parents decided to move states. The story tells about the trip on the
way to move, the short amount of time they stayed, and lastly, the decision to moving back, to where they previously resided. My meme grew up in a

She said the girls were the Indians and the boys the cowboys. In these new outfits, the girls who were the Indians found a red clay wall, and
"what's an Indian without some red clay" she would always say, put red clay all over themselves! After the game began the boys then decided they
too want to be Indians and covered themselves in clay! "Oh boy were we in trouble" she said. Around 3 months of living in Illinois memes dad
didn't want to live there anymore. He wanted to go back home he said. Just in time for the start of school the got back home. My meme explained
how most people wouldn't consider moving to somewhere such as Illinois as an exciting childhood memory, but for her growing up in a small
town, it was the best thing in the world! She considered the world to be small as she was growing up, and then told me about the car they had at
the time. A station wagon and no seat belt laws, and how there wasn't even a car seat for her baby brother. They then would lean the seats down
and nap and play. My meme has had a pretty amazing life growing up from what she tells me. I always enjoy hearing stories about the past, because
it allows me to see the world in different views. Something so little to us now, was the world to people back in the day, our generation takes
advantage of things we should be thankful for, and in hearing stories I become more thankful each day for the family

My Family 's Story Of Immigration
While every immigrant story is unique to the places they've come from, their personal narratives, and their integration, many share commonalities
within the American immigrant experience. My family is no exception to this fact as they highlight many of the theories of migration outlined in
sociology. By examining my family's story of immigration through these different lenses, I hope to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for
those who ultimately brought me into America. Around 85 years ago, my great uncle's first impression of the Gold Mountain arrived on the hopeful
lips of men in a time of Chinese turmoil. He came in the late 1940's from a small village in Southern China as a paper son aboard a ship under the last
name Kong ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A few years later, he sent for his sister (my grandmother and her family). Since there was no opportunity in China after the revolution, they saw
America as a chance for them to have a better life. My grandma, mother, and two of her siblings (they left three of their siblings behind because
they were over 18 and could not procure their separate visas at the time) moved to the United States in 1980 after the US formally recognized
diplomatic ties with China. One year before the big move, the four of them moved from their small village in Guangzhou to the hustle and bustle
of Hong Kong. They spent a year in limbo, while waiting for their visas and my great uncle to officially send for them. When their papers finally
arrived, they boarded a Pan AM flight with their three small suitcases bound for Los Angeles. Their reason for moving was primarily driven by the
New Economics of Labor Migration and World Systems Theory as China was going through a massive overhaul at the time. The country was still
rebuilding and restructuring after The Great Leap forward and the Great Famine had left China in shambles. This left little to no opportunity for
women in the large cities, let alone villages living in poverty. So when my great uncle sent for the rest of his family, they saw it as a chance for their
family to diversify their portfolio (to have my grandfather and older aunts and uncles stay in China while

Family Bullies Short Story
Family Bullies by Keith berry and Toney E. Adams
To begin their article, the authors first explain their topic and how they did their research. They defined bullying as something that has many
definitions. However, they did identify two main aspects of bullying: it happens more than once and is one person acting negatively towards another.
With this in mind, they then turned their lens toward bullying with in families. They began by looking at two personal stories about bullying with in
families.
In the first story, Victoria was bullied by her sister, Lily. Victoria explains that her sister was always trying to make her feel bad, irritate her, or cause
her pain. She claimed Lily liked making her feel bad and would leave the conversation if she showed no affect. Victoria also noted that Lily did it with
the whole family, and that Lily was always a little bit off the family rhythm. Through their childhood, Victoria grew to hate Lily and survive their
interactions. More recently, Victoria has begun to think how she treated Lily in reaction to the bullying was also a form of bullying. The relationship
between the two sisters is beginning to start again, Victoria says, but she is also cautious. The personal story ends with Victoria saying the bitterness
between them is leaving and the work on a friendship has begun.
The second personal story was about a boy named Tony and his cousin. His cousin bullied him by physically and emotionally hurting him. Whenever
the boys would be

Unflattering Family Stories
Stories of your parent's childhood are always entertaining. They are especially so when it is something that is embarrassing. These stories are usually
well guarded, but will be willingly told by anyone else, because of the hilarity. The only thing that makes such stories better, is a common theme. After
interviewing family members, I have found some stories that are somewhat unflattering, and all involve my Uncle and some sort of bike. A long
time ago, in a town not so far from here, my mother and her family lived in a medium sized house in Washington. The house had a full basement
that was unfinished, and the adjacent abandoned lot was a favourite place to ride bikes in the summer. Once winter rolled around, they were
allowed to move the bikes inside to the basement, where it was much warmer, and ride in circles on the dirt floor. My uncle one of his friends
were engaged in such an activity one winter day. They soon tired of riding in the same path over and over, and decided to look around. My
grandfather was fermenting some homemade beer at the time, and this was noticed by the two teenagers. They decided to try it out, and went through
quite a bit of it. Now, a quick class on brewing. When it is stored a balloon is placed on the neck of the bottle, and the risingyeast causes it to inflate.
Once the balloon goes back down, the fermentation is done. My uncle and his friend were not aware of this process. They consumed the beverage when
the balloon was completely

The John Wright Family: A Short Story
One day the John Wright family goes to a limited time buffet/restaurant called iApple. They have all sorts of apple food. They have apple pie,
apple bread, apple croissants, apple juice, apple crisp, apple cobbler, apple butter for the apple bread, apple chips, apple sauce, apple cider and
many more. Suddenly, a man yells to the dad, "Hey! You took the last piece of Apple Crisp!" then that man threw the apple croissants at him. The
dad has MAJOR anger issues, so he throws the apple pie at the man. "It's just apple crisp! I thought I had anger issues!" the dad continued to yell and
throw apple pies. "You are ridiculous!" yelled the dad multiple times, as he threw one more apple pie. "O. M. G! Did you just kill five apple pies by
throwing them?... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They took the dad away to the car and said " What you've done today is UNHEARD of. But we have no room in the jails due to so many people
eating two banana splits. TWO! I mean I was SUPER SURPRISED. You're only allowed to have one! You and those people have just gone insane!"
after he finished yelling at the man, he let him go. "Don't go to anymore buffets! Oh, and don't be getting into anymore trouble!" After a long day at
iApple they decided to go to Applebee's. When eating their meal they were thinking and feeling the grief of killing an apple pie. When they got home
they all went straight to bed annoyed about the food fight. They were even more annoyed when they thought about who threw the apple croissants.
Suddenly they thought, Wait. Who did throw the apple pie? Tomorrow I will secretly sneak out and find him and serve him a fresh slice of apple
justice! The only problem was– they ALL thought

Family Story
The story of Aiden and Jayla is a long and eventful one. They are an interracial couple who worked hard in life for themselves and each other. They
had many problems in their lives and relationship yet they always managed to come out of the chaos unscathed. Jayla had a difficult childhood that
kept her busy. She was an African American girl living with a working classfamily. She had problems with her family which even increased when her
parents refused to buy her vegetarian meals. She just didn't like the taste of meat. She had a child at 16 and was forced to raise the child on her own.
It was an untimely pregnancy like 88% of teen births in the US. When she was 14, she thought she had found the love of her life in a classmate of hers
... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They got married two and a half years after they started dating. This early marriage is quite rare nowadays. Their gender roles in the family skewed
some from traditional views. Both of them helped raised the children, worked for a living, and took care of the trailer. The fact that both of the
parents worked made it unlike a monolithic family. Jayla wanted to extend the family early because she wanted to have children while she had
healthy eggs and have more energy to keep up with them. Her fertility was better because she was a vegetarian so it increased by eating proteins from
plants and not animals. Eleven months after they were married Jayla gave birth to her second child, a baby boy named Kyle.
Their relationship didn't come without its share of problems. A while into their relationship they noticed people border patrolling against them.
People were treating them like they were abnormal just because they were an interracial couple. Their relationship seemed even more abnormal
because it was a white man with a black woman. Later on, Aiden was arrested for assault on Jayla's supervisor for sexually harassing her. Her
supervisor was not charged with anything because harassment is in the eye of the beholder and co–workers saw no harm in what the supervisor was
doing. They just believed that Aiden was overreacting. Even worse, he lost his job as a researcher at a local university because of that. Fortunately,
Jayla had completed her GED a

My Family Story
My parents have been divorced since I was a kid and they have their own separate lives and families. It was only me and my older brother until one
day when I was 15 we learned that we were going to have a little sister. My Father and his girlfriend ended up having a girl, Alicia, named after my
late Grandmother. They lived together for a short while until they ended up having many issues from financial to legal issues, like getting kicked out
of their house, and broke up. They were uncertain about who would take Alicia and tried passing off a baby to their friends for short times then to
other friends and then family. They did not want to give Alicia to her Grandmother because her and her Mother always fought about everything. But
they finally allowed Alicia's grandparents to take her. She was only supposed to stay there for a short time but one thing led to another and now her
parents have supervised visits. They have separate times and can only see Alicia on Sundays. Her grandparents, Deborah and John, have taken care of
her for 4 years now by giving her everything she needs.
Deborah and John, at first, were surprised by how my Brother and myself cared so much about our sister. They were a couple that were obviously
well off and well educated. They have a huge house and have a lot of space for a child to grow up. They would stay to themselves and focus on
taking care of Alicia. They had no contact with us until we reached out to them to see our sister. They allowed us to

The Story Of A Kitchen Night In My Family
This is the story of how my brother, Cole, got impaled by a kitchen night in his rear end. The plot began during a family gathering at my house with
my grandpa, grandma, aunt, my parents and of course, Cole, my brother, on March 6th 2016. We were celebrating my grandpas– who knows how old
– birthday by playing a few games of cards, enjoying a nice home cooked meal and talking with each other about new and fascinating things that
were happening in our lives. After we had all finished eating, it was my and my brother's job to clean off the table, do all the dishes and make sure
the kitchen was spotless like we are to do every night after our meal. As we were tidying up the kitchen, my family was still chatting amongst
themselves at the dining room table. Cole and I usually like to play around in the kitchen, and we joke around with one another all of the time.
This is where our playing choices started to get a little bit dangerous, even though what we were doing seemed to be harmless. We were doing
small turn, bickering about who was going to do what, and pretending we were ninjas. We knew, which is common sense that you shouldn't play
rough in a kitchen, so we figured out the idea to pretend like we were doing so. As I was pretending to karate chop him, and the two of us were
acting like five year olds, I kicked my foot out while holding onto a few plates, my brother laughing and having a good time. He jumped backwards,
thinking I was actually going to kick him, and right

My Family Story
Sitting with my aunt Alning and cousin Vincent is a pleasant reprieve from the bustle inside the house. A slight breeze cuts the air as I overlook the
balcony. Rice fields stretch out past the horizon. Coconut trees, that my grandfather planted, stand tall with ripe coconuts waiting to be butchered open.
Smoke from an outdoor cooking pit thickens the air–– a warning the farewell feast is well on its way.
It's been thirteen years since I've been back in the Philippines and the first time I've visited it as an adult. To learn more about my mother'sfamily I
decided to interview my aunts and uncles–– Tita's and Tito's–– about past memories. Growing up, I knew my mother's family was very poor, but also
very close. In the beginning of my mother's life, she, her six brothers, and four sisters lived in a mud hut and walked miles to get to school. My
grandfather was a farmer and eventually moved his family on decent land where he grew rice to support his family. Coming back to the Philippines
I wanted to learn more about my maternal family. My ambition was to one day keep a written record of my maternal family's legacy to pass down to
future generations so they wouldn't lose sight of who they are and where they came from especially if I decided to marry someone who wasn't Filipino.
On that balcony my first interview was with Tita Alning. Her son––my cousin–– Vincent–– or as I like to call him Manong Vincent–– sat beside her.
Manong is used to show respect to an older male brother or cousin. He sat there somewhat of an interpreter. Tita Alning knows how to speak English,
but there are just some words she may not know how to cross over well from Tagalog to English, hence, Manong Vincent being our interpreter.
"Thanks for doing this Tita Alning," I said as I whipped out my iPhone and turned on the Voice Memo App. "My first question is, what is a memory
you have of grandpa and grandma? Something that stands out?" Manong Vincent and I watch her as she tries to think of a memory. Vincent tries to
rephrase my question so she can answer it.
"Ah! I have something I remember!" she exclaims.
Part of her story involves her conflict between moving to Mindanao or Manila, two different cities on two different islands.

My Family Story
My parents have been separated for a couple years now. My mother wasn't happy with our family so, she went away. She isn't there that much for my
family and I. I have three siblings which, all happen to be younger than I am. I'm only 11 years old. So everything is very hard without a mother
figure. One day, we got to see her but, not in the way I'd want to.

backyard. Unexpectedly, I get a phone call. I answer it, it's my dad. He asks for the address of the house. I thought he was picking me up but, when
he came he dropped off my siblings and got into a huge argument with my mom on the front lawn. I just peaceful stood there and watched. I had no
idea what to do or say in that situation so I stood there in shock. My dad then drove off and left.
My siblings and I then spent the time with my mom. I had no idea of my mom's living situation so we got in the car and left. We got to a house that
