Before I Was There
“Before I was, There Were...” I have so many relatives and all of them have done so much for me. My mom’s parents who are Kathey Sigmon and Jerry Carrigan are my grandparents, but they divorced and my grandma remarried to Bob Sigmon. My mom had a sister named Emily Sigmon and brother named Nick Carrigan. My grandma Kathey had two sisters name Faye Shew and Sue Robinette. My great grandmother Faye Carrigan is the mother of Jerry Carrigan, she has a sister named Nell-Rose Stafford but she passed away this year. I have no older cousins or siblings My dad’s parents who are Judy and Carl Harris are my grandparents. My dad has one sister named Carla Harris and one brother named Jason Harris. Carla has two kids a girl named Kirsten Tabet and a boy named Ryan Tabet. Kirsten is two years older than me and Ryan is only a year younger than me. My dad is first cousins with Scott Helton and he has a son named Tyler Helton. He is my second cousin and is two years older than me. Even though my parents are divorced now I still remain really close to both sides of the family. A lot has happened in the past but we all still care about each other. Before I even existed my grandparents were making sure that my mom and dad had everything they needed to start a family. I can’t say that I’m closer to one side of the family than the other because both sides have done so much for me. They’ve made sure that we had roof over our head, money to buy groceries, and something to drive. I love my family more than anything and I don’t know what I would do without

    Response to Fredrick Douglass Narritive

    When growing up with a big and spread out family, home life tends to be a little erratic. Since my mother was not the best of children, she had a few boyfriends in her time. She had my sister when she was six-teen, and my brother and I when she was around twenty. My biological father supported her until they both decided that they needed to go their separate ways, and she then married my step father. My family at the time consisted of my parents, my six-teen year old sister, my twin brother, and myself at age eleven. I had always thought of my family as pretty close to perfect until people started to talk. I first learned of this by my neighbor-friend’s mother, who whispered to her kid about why I had to leave every other weekend to visit my “other” father. I had never before thought of this as a strange idea, so I asked my sister about it. She told me our mother’s story. Once my mother learned of this, she was not upset with me for asking so many questions, and for that I’m glad. I learned more about my mother that day and I respected her for recognizing her past mistakes. Since she had, what I think to be, a pretty messed up life before; she corrected that and raised her children to be respectable people.…

    Julius Caesar Code Of Trust Analysis

    In life you discover that family does not depend on who came from where and if you share the same blood. It depends on if you are there through both the good and the bad no matter the circumstances. “Come what come may, time and the hour run through the roughest day.” One way or another, what’s going to happen is going to happen. We cannot expect everything to be good all the time, nor rely on those we put our trust into. We must be prepared to be let down. Although you may get let down more times than you’d like, you must always remember to get back up and try again.…

    Latin American Family

    Socially, divorced families tend to be completely isolated and alienated by their extended family members. Thus, to avoid such stigma, it is more likely for these families to separate than to go through a divorce. This only gives a slight indication as to how negative divorce is viewed in the Mexican culture, as well as in other Latino cultures. But because I am slightly in-between both cultures, I did not know what to expect and how to react to my parents filing for divorce. The opposing beliefs led me to great confusion and was a struggle in regards to finding a balance between the values and beliefs of my Mexican heritage and the American culture. In general, my idea of family changed; my immediate family and I experienced alienation from my extended family and we were not welcomed after my parents went through the divorce. This ultimately led to developing deep deceit and sadness because I believed my “small” family would always be there to support my immediate family and I. Eventually, this caused a change in how I valued family and completely tainted the importance I had for family into an individualistic emphasis on my well-being and development. Although this happened three years ago, I have slowly been warming up to the idea of family as being one of my…

    When Your Parents Divorce

    I had just come home from the last day of school in my 9th grade. I checked the answering machine for new messages and I found what I had least expected - a message from my mother's divorce lawyer. Even though all the warning signs had been there, I was still surprised. Things were bad between my parents, and my mom had already threatened to divorce my dad several times that year. They started going out on dates again afterwards, though, and I thought they were past all that. Before things turned sour, I thought my family was completely normal. One of my friends had even said to me, “you have the perfect family.” It turns out, not so much.…
