1. In my family, it's expected that you will go to college or further your education.
In my family it is pretty much required for you to go to college. My father went to college along with his parents. My mom didn’t go to college because she had bad grades in high school. She later decided to go to college and further an education in the medical field. My dad pushes me all the time to get good grades and to take hard classes. High school may be tough, but college is
going to be tougher. Every one in my family is headed down the road that leads to going to one college or another. I am sure that the expectations in my family will not be changing any time soon.
2. Everyone in my family is expected to contribute to chores, cooking, cleaning, and maintaining the house.
I agree with this statement also. Every one in my family has a different responsibility. Nathan, my younger brother, is expected to have the garbage out every Friday morning at 7:00. My chore is the put away the clean dishes whenever necessary. My sisters have less work to do around the house because they have jobs that they are at all the time. Every one in the house tries to split up the work so my mom doesn’t have to do all of it. We all have a responsibility to fulfill. So yes, I would say that everyone is expected to contribute to chores in my house.
3. Sometimes, it's hard for everyone in my family to get along.
Heck yes I agree. Every family has problems. Some problems are bigger than others, and some are stupid to be fighting over. Now that my sisters are eighteen, I amseventeen and my brother is 14, we have all matured and began to get along better and found it more easily solve our differences. When we were younger, we fought about the littlest things. Most of the arguments were over what channel to watch next or who got to sit by my mom at dinner. Now that we are older, we can solve our problems by ourselves, without my parents getting involved.
4. There are goals I have that my parents and/or siblings just don't "get."
Every one has dreams or goals. Some are different and some are wild. I some times have a problems telling my parents and siblings my goals or dreams. Every one is afraid of being rejected or not being understood. I had a goal or dream to make the sophomore, starting volleyball team. That didn’t happen. My summer was horrible. My dreams were crushed July 22, five days before my sixteenth birthday. When I burnt my leg, all I could think about was not being able to play volleyball. I put in so much work over the summer and dedicated half the whole summer to volleyball. When your dreams are crushed or not fulfilled, it is nice to be able to go to somebody who understands. In my case, I turned to my mom. My mom knows how much I love volleyball and it is nice to know some one cares. So next time you think that no one “gets” it, they do, one way or another.
