Does family shape one’s identity? How? Why?
What does the word “family” mean? I have a huge family. Not all are blood related, most are friend related.
Family, to me, defines the people that around you the most, the ones that love and treat you as part of their family.
People you grow up with, neighbors, friends, friends family’s, they all end up being part of yours, at least from and how I was raised.
I can say that the town I grew up in and the people that live there have always been there for me and watched out for me when my mom couldn’t, they went to all my basketball games to watch ME play and watch me grow up.
Because my step dad is a fireman, I grew up around every fireman and every cop in town. They treat me like their daughter.
Walking into my dads restaurant and trying to sit down and actually eat is probably one of the hardest things to do because I have to go in the kitchen say hello to all the chefs that have known me since I was a little girl and then to the bartender and waiters and everyone, it’s crazy!
I can’t imagine what I would being and where I would be with out these people in my life, they really are all my family.
