One thing I cannot live without

Everyone has that one thing they can’t live without in life. The one thing I can’t live without would have to be my family! Family is everything to me!

 I know that it may sound really worn-out to the people around me but I think I have a good reason. When I’m upset; I also have the one item I can’t live without. That one item that makes the good day, better, and the bad day,  good. For me, I can compare my family to music. I love music. It makes my world go around and you will rarely find me listening to something, likewise to my family they always there for me in my good times and bad times, and my family makes my world rotates on its axis.

For me a person who is called successful in life is a person who has a happy family. Family is important to everyone in the world. "Family isn't whose blood you have. It's about who you care about", my dad once told me. Each person has a different and unique family in their heart. Deep inside me, family holds an unchangeable place.

Dictionary explains family as a fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children. To me, family is those who support and care for me. They watch for me and are there when I need them. They also help me reach goals that I have set for myself. They help encourage me and emphasize the talents that I have, whether or not I know what your talents are. Throughout life, I have had many teachers. My favorite teacher and the one who has impacted my life the most, was not a Math or English teacher but, my family. They taught me one of life’s most important things was never to give up. My parents always give an example and demonstration to me that through hard work and determination, I could accomplish anything.

When we faced with very difficult times, my family would pray to God to have strength, to carry on. Through each trial and problem, that life placed in front of him, my families never give up. My family always says that we must learn to accept that with everyday life was not always easy and fair. There were many financially difficult times and everyday problems that I thought we would never make it through, but my family encouraged and made me see strengths that we can do it if we just together.

 For those reasons, my family is the thing that I can’t live without.
