What really does family mean to me?
The family is the most important social unit in our society,because in there, a person can learn about how to act, following some rules based on respect and responsibility needed to fit in any community.Also, our personality, likes and dislikes, are formed primarily in there.
But the family does not only has a formative function, because most ofthe times will accompany us the rest of our lives, for that reason has a support function too; as we are part of the family, we must also be therefor any members in the family when any of them need it, that make stronger the bonds between them.
For me, my family is the most importantthing in my life; since I was a little kid, is how my parents educated me, specially my dad, for that reason I try to have a good relation with allof them, not only in my house, with all my cousins, uncles and grandparents, because I have spent very good times of the family reunions. I lovemy family, is not a must, goes with me spontaneously.
Sometimes, I have heard people that literally say: “I hate my family”, personally is reallyhard for me to believe that, is hate some part of you that will never leave you, a part that defines you as a person and you will never findsomething like that, I do not ask for the reasons, they are very personals, I just say them: “think it better, you really do not want say that”.
