Personal Narrative: Living With A Latin Family
Living with a latin family means conflict will either develop for things you say in the less accurate moment or things you don't say in order to let the other person involved figure it out. In my family, there are a few different types of personalities that are so different that lead to misunderstandings and unavoidable trouble, although in most of the times it comes to a final agreement, our conflicts tend to be more intense.

I kept listening to what she had to say and what really made her mad is that she thought that I was noticing what was going on, I just never acted on it. This reminded me a lot about the show, when each person had their side and version of the issue. I truly apologized to her, because I never meant to hurt her, also explained that home could be a little bit stressing sometimes and that is why I rather hang out with my boyfriend or friends, not as an excuse, but as a way to explain why it was easier. I never really thought our lack of communication was the problem, but after all, we apologized to each other and I am glad that we solved this issue. I am sure that there will be more trouble as we grow up, since it's a normal
