Family

Family
My family is enormous, so I don't think I can write about my entire family. That would lead to a ten page essay, and that is no exaggeration. What I will write about is my immediate family. There are many aunts and uncles in my life, but I only see about three every single week: my aunts Letty, Bertha, and Lupe. These are the aunts that my mom hangs out with the most, and these aunts of mine have my cousins which I enjoy hanging out with. The cousins that come from my aunt Letty are Alejandra, Andrea, and Eduardo which are twenty, seventeen, and fourteen from left to right. I see them about twice a week because I carpool with Alejandra to school and they're always home in the morning. My aunt Lupe has three of my cousins under her roof; Enrique, Stephanie, and Jaqueline. I would tell you their ages, but I suck at remembering that sort of stuff. I see them when there is a party in the weekends. For some strange reason most party's take place at their house. I suppose it's because that's where my grandpa lives, and every family revolves around the grandparents. Last but not least is my aunt Bertha. She has three children whose names are Sergio, Fabian, and Omar, and I will not share their ages due to my ignorance on topics such as ages and birthdays. Sergio and Fabian are no longer living with my aunt, so I rarely see them anymore, but my cousin Omar is the person I'm constantly with. Believe it or not, he was sitting right next to me as I wrote this. Anyway, I hang out with Omar every Friday night, and this is thanks to my mom being best friends with his mom. Therefore, by default, I became his best friend. This is my immediate family, or the section of my family I'm constantly coming in contact with. The rest of my family I only see when there is a huge party or when somebody passes away. Also if by any chance somebody is shopping in the same store at the same time as we are, and that happens every once and a while. I have covered about one tenth of my family and managed to vaguely describe my immediate family with about four hundred words. This is why I think I can write a ten page essay about my family, but I'd rather not. In conclusion, that is my immediate family that I love very much.

  1. It must be nice having a big family. More people that have your back, rely on, etc.

  2. You make them sound like a pretty amazing family. I wish I could say I was close to my family members like that.

  3. Big families are awesome but it can be a handful sometimes. It sometimes gets overwhelming when you have a lot of family over at your house in my opinion but nonetheless fun.

  6. I have a huge family as well, and I love it. The parties are definitely a little crazier, but it is all worth it.

  7. I know first-hand just how big families can be, I have easily over 100 cousins and to be honest, I don’t think I’ve met all of them in the 22 years of life I have. At least you get to hang around some of them and have built a bond with them.

  8. I'm pretty envious of others and how close they can be with their family. That's something I've become really detached from—family. But hearing about your family would probably make someone try and be close to their family again!

  9. I wish my family was that close, unfortunately it's just my immediate family and that is literally just the people living in my home. That is so fun to be seeing your cousins constantly, I wish for that when I get older!

  10. Families can be very different sometimes and some can be very connected. I wish my family was connected like that.
