I am fourth-generation deaf, which means everyone in my immediate family is deaf. So I grew up always having 100 percent accessibility to language and communication, which was wonderful and something so many deaf people don’t have.
I have lots of friends, but I’m probably a terrible friend to all of them, even my family. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found myself with no friends later on in life. My friends become my enemies.
My family comes from Panama, and I grew up in a single parent household with my mother, who barely spoke English. She couldn’t get a good job, yet there were four of us for her to raise.
I grew up with an incredibly loving and supportive family that gave me the impression there were a lot of options for me out there.
I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap.
I was born in a poor family, a lower middle class family. My father was a clerk in the forest department. I was very bad at studies. I was not very good at sports, also.
I’m surrounded by great friends and family. I don’t know what I would do without them.
It is important for me to carve out time in my schedule to spend quality time with my family.
I have a wonderful shelter, which is my family. I have a wonderful relationship with my brother and sister; this makes me feel that I know always where I belong.
I had a birthday party with my family and friends at a house, and Chipotle catered. It was beautiful.
My favorite room in the house is my kitchen. It’s definitely the heart and soul of our home. It’s where we gather in the morning as a family to start the day, and it’s where we wind down at night over supper.
The family, that dear octopus from whose tentacles we never quite escape, nor in our innermost hearts never quite wish to.
I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.
I am proud to be a Sikh and am a true disciple of Guru Gobind Singh, who sacrificed his entire family for the Sikh religion.
Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins.
My family has always been there to support me along the way. My coach, John Nicks, is a great influence.
Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people – your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.
Just growing up and going through life and how tough life was for me and my family, I’m always going to stay humble.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
Weekends are sacred for me. They’re the perfect time to relax and spend time with family and friends.
Happiness is being content with what you have, living in freedom and liberty, having a good family life and good friends.
I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage.
In a big family the first child is kind of like the first pancake. If it’s not perfect, that’s okay, there are a lot more coming along.
My family is always my priority.
I watched my mom and dad build everything that matters – a family, a home and a good name.
