My Family

Even though I have a small family we all have big personalities and are very close. My family is composed of six people who are: my mom and dad, myself, my brother Miguel, my brother Daniel, and last but not least, my sister Kaylee. I am the oldest of the group so I am pretty much the designated person to set an example for the rest of my siblings. I guess you can say that the oldest sibling in every family is almost like a third parent. I often feel like it is one of my responsibilities to somewhat help raise my siblings into being good people and making good choices.

My mom and dad are both decedents from different countries. My mom is from Mexico, while my dad is from El Salvador. They came here separately in their early twenties, like many other people at the time, in search for a better future for themselves, their families back home, and their family in the future. They have worked hard throughout their lives, while they were kids and even up to this point, to accomplish many of their goals. They are my inspiration and I admire their quality of working hard for what they have. In turn, I try to imitate that quality and work hard in my everyday life as well. My brother Miguel is about to turn 18 and is a senior at Pacifica High School. He is very fun to be around and I feel like we are very close since we are only three years apart in age. Having wrestled for about six years now, he is very physical and energetic, so we like to roughhouse a lot of the time. Daniel, my second to youngest brother, is 10 years young. He is also very energetic and loves to joke around. He plays football for a little league team and he loves it. Finally, my sister Kaylee just turned 5. She loves to read and color like I imagine many little girls like to do. Being the only girl and the youngest, you can almost already expect that she gets spoiled very much. My siblings and I all have very similar characteristic traits and we usually get along and share laughs most of the time.

Although we are all very busy throughout the week, we usually leave Sunday unscheduled, for all of us to get together and just hang out. Normally, we will go to church, go out to eat, watch a movie, and even go grocery shopping, as a family. We may argue sometimes but at the end we all love each other very much.
