Family is important because they help, love, and support one another through both happy and difficult times. Within a family, members take on different roles to help each other like a mother making beds and a father driving to school. The author finds comfort in visiting her grandparents on Sundays where her grandmother cooks for everyone. Friends are also impactful as they provide companionship through playing, laughing, and sharing secrets. While friends may argue at times, their friendship persists. The author's friend Nefeli is especially helpful and important to her. Overall, both family and friends are very important sources of support in the author's life.
