Narrative Essay About Family
1. My Family Essay
No one can't meet a family like mine's. My family is well diversified. Every family member plays
an important role in all my family's lives. In my family, there are four people: my father, my
mother, my little brother and me. My father is one who brings money home and is also responsible
for organizing and planning family trips. My mother is the one who is in charge for making meals
and makes sure everyone eats at the appropriate times. My little brother is the pet of the family. He
actually doesn't have any responsibilities, for he's the pet. I am the rock of support in my family. I
always go beyond my parents' expectations. I also support my younger cousins and little brother, by
being a role model that they can look up to. Another...show more content...
Doing what my parents tell me to do is just one of many reasons why I am a rock of support for
my family. Not only do I support my parents, but I also support my younger cousins and brother.
As an eldest brother and cousin, I feel I must be a good example for the young ones. There are
numerous methods of showing my cousins and brother support. One main way is by providing
advice on making the right choices. For example my brother had a problem at school with one of
his classmates. As a mature and responsible older brother, I advised him to use the non–violent
approach. I told him to go discuss the problem and try to resolve it peacefully. My brother then
asked me why he shouldn't fight his classmate. I explained how violence is the answer to
anything. I advised him to first talk to his classmate in a professional manner. If then things get
out of hand, I told him to let the teacher know the situation. In the end, my brother didn't need to
get the teacher involved. In fact, their conflict was resolved by talking through with each other. I
also am very supportive of my little cousins. One way I help them out is by tutoring them once in
a while. They come over to my house and I assist them with their school work. Not only I help my
cousins with their homework, but I also support them recreationally. I play various sports and
activities with them. As their older cousin/brother, I feel I should be a good role model to follow. I
am also known for being there

Why does everyone leave?
Seeing your parents apart and not getting along when they're together is hard for most kids
specially when you're 8 years old and you don't know what's coming next. The day my parents got
divorced changed my perception of what a normal family was.
Having my dad around all the time wasn't my everyday routine. I'd see him once or twice a week
so I wasn't very much used to see him every day. One day I came home after school and he and
my mom were on the balcony talking, the notice I was staring, they both looked at me and called
for a family meeting by the tone of their voices I could tell there was...show more content...
According to the doctor the pollution had affected his eyes. He had always lived on the beach and
his body never got used to the city.
I knew my life was going to change completely, I wouldn't see him every day. Who would I cry out
for help when my mom gets angry?
Everything was about to change, we wouldn't order take–out on Sundays, it was a big deal, I was
losing my best friend, the only father figure I have ever had so far. I watched him taking all of his
stuff out of the apartment, I was getting more and more mad. Wasn't our beautiful relationship
enough to make him stay? I even blame myself I thought I had done something wrong, maybe
wearing his clothes and leaving them all messy, I apologize and swear not to do it again, but it
didn't matter the decision was already made.
I stared at him and yelled "if you don't love me anymore go ahead leave, I don't need you" there
were tears on our faces, I jumped into my bed and cried myself to sleep.
I realized there was nothing else to be done, he was not my father and I was sure I'd see him
someday, he wouldn't stop loving me, and we would always have the memories of the brief time we
shared our lives. He made the best out of my childhood.

Growing up with a father that was never around and a father figure that also left was hard, but it
taught me that I don't need a father to rely on. I have myself and my mom, and as long as I don't
forget who I am I

3. Family Narrative Essay
When I first looked for a topic, it was harder than I thought. As I picked up my pen and paper
everything evanesced. When the topic searching wasn't going well, I tried to define the word family.
Ooh did I think long and hard, but realized that everybody's definition was personal and different
based on their feelings and memories. I thought long and hard into my family history and adorned
the memory of our vacation to South Dakota, along with the activities attached to the trip. In my
family narrative, I will be explaining a family trip to Mt. Rushmore, Kalahari, and the wild
experience of standing in a glass box staring down from the Willis Tower, trying to unlock my
personal definition of the word family. Now, let's jump to the exhilarating trip to South Dakota!
Have you ever wondered what it was like to stand in front of Abraham Lincoln or George
Washington? They were on a high mountain called Mt. Rushmore. While there we visited the
Sculptor's Studio and the Lincoln Borglum Museum. I think I can say that the whole family liked
the Sculptors Studio the best of all. In the studio, you were given a face to face look at some of the
tools used to carve the important faces in the mountain. After we left there, everything went
downhill. All of the little kids were whining while the older ones were bored out of their mind. The
only ones that seemed to be enjoying themselves were my parents. "Ooh look at this. Oh yeah, this
is a cool monument." Now the real action occurred when

4. Essay on My Family History
My Family History
Family history is very important to an individual. By knowing where you come from, you can have
a better perspective of your life. Having a clear understanding of your family background allows you
to better appreciate the things that you would normally take for granted. The house, the car, and the
average clothing may look better when one sees the sacrifices their family has made. They will see
that their family has worked very hard just so their family can experience the better things in life. A
persons roots and origin is one of the most important things to explore. It alone can bring you closer
to self–discovery.
There are two sides to a person's family and one side of my family has...show more content...
One of these is that on Thanksgiving everybody comes together to my parents' house in New Jersey
for a huge feast. On Christmas only my mother and the children (me and my brother) travel to Illinois
to spend a week with my grandparents. On New Years Eve we all get together at my parents'
house in New Jersey and toast to the New Year with champagne and apple cider. During Labor
Day weekend all of my family travels to South Jersey to my grandfathers' condo. We usually
spend all of our time on the beach and barbequing, except on Sunday when we go to church. After
all, my grandfather is a minister. One of our biggest family traditions is going back to Puerto
Rico. Every year my mother and I travel back to Puerto Rico for a portion of our summer
vacation. Now that I am older I travel there more often and stay there much longer. My father never
joins because he doesn't like my mothers side of the father too much and he thinks that we when we
speak Spanish we are all plotting against him. Of course that's not true though. My bother doesn't
speak Spanish so he doesn't like to go either. I guess that tradition is one that belongs solely to my
mother and I.
The role of the people in family basically stayed the same for most of the generations with a little
change in the later generations. Earlier the males were the only ones that worked in the family and
the wife stayed at home and took care of the house and

5. My Family Narrative Essay
The day my family and I moved here to Moreno Valley I never expected the things I would learn
and how much I would change. I was around ten when my family decided to pack up and move
from our home in Santa Ana. We came here around winter and we never experienced so much
cold. before. We were so surprised that even the water in the garden hose was frozen. I remember
going to my first day in my new elementary school. I was quite nervous when we arrived. On that
day plenty of things didn't go as I thought they would. I'm able to recall that day quite well
actually. "Excuse me, Mrs. Torres, your new student is here." The nice lady said as she walked
inside. I trailed behind her silently contemplating if I should run back to the office with my
parents. It was a scary thing going to a new school where you knew no one. I stopped in front of
her and stood there stiff as stone and with my eyes glued to the ground as she spoke with the
teacher. I knew if I looked up I would be met with the eyes of the whole class, and that was
something I wouldn't enjoy at all. The teacher was currently in middle of a lesson when I arrived.
'Great. Late on my first–day, that's a great way to start off my day.' I thought a bit mad that I had to
walk into class almost an hour late. Not mentioning the fact that it was already the second quarter of
the school year. The teacher looked down at me and greeted me with a smile, although me being a
shy introverted child. I barely returned the smile back.

6. The Story Of My Family
The story of my family is one that I do not tell often. Although my entire family may not be in
agreement at all ties, I know that there is a purpose for every single person in my family; there is
a reason that I have the ties I do. Each person and each event builds on the continuous story of my
life. Each new day is another chance to embark upon a journey that has the potential to change my
life forever. Every time I see my parents, I tell them that I love them. Life itself is so fragile, and
we never know what is in store for the future. When I think of my family narrative, I think of
courage, resilience, love, compassion, joy, difficulty, and many more emotions and reactions. This
is the story of my family as it relates to Marriage and Families today.
My parents were married on January 15, 1994. They have been married for 22 years now, and the
beginning of my family was signified on that day. My parents were married for 2 years before
having their first child. Twenty years later, I am still their only child. My mother's pregnancy with
me was filled with stress and unexpected turns. I was born prematurely at two pounds and twelve
ounces; an entire two months prematurely. My mom had to stay with me in the hospital for months
because I developed jaundice and other conditions that deteriorated my health. The problems did
not end there, however. I would love to believe that racism and colorism are not issues anymore, but
sadly they are even today. The sight of my pale skin led
