Family Over Everything


After reading this article, there was an old saying that came to mind: “The family that prays together stays together.” Families that don’t take the time to actually talk and bond with each other tend to drift apart. Not only that, but it’s more difficult to gain respect from your family members. One thing that stood out to me in this article was when Feiler said that the military has trendsetting programs that help teams function better. I agree with this because my mother was an army veteran and all the techniques she learned from there, she brought back home to build a stronger relationship with our family. Unlike most parents, my mom makes sure that my sister and I are always on our best behavior. We want to make good impressions on anyone who happens to come and visit us. We never text or goof around at the table if we are in public because it’s rude. This is where the saying, “Mama didn't raise no fool,” comes in. My family enjoys each other company because we know that we will not be together our entire lives. I know a lot about my parents: where and how they met, why they aren't together now, and much more. My parents only want the best for me and that’s why there always in my business.
