  1. Hello. I'm gonna be presenting my family project.
  2. So first I'm gonna start with who I consider my family to be.
  3. Just like I have in my other reports. I put my family to three different sections.
  4. So first I have my family that's in Texas, which is my mom,
  5. my stepdad and my two siblings.
  6. Then here locally I have my dad
  7. and then I have my grandma who we actually
  8. refer to his mom and my little sister Olivia.
  9. And then the ones that I see every day are my boyfriend Dylan.
  10. And then I included my dog Rocket as part of my
  11. family as well because he's like a baby to me.
  12. So now we're gonna move on to my family genogram.
  13. I included the same one that I had submitted previously
  14. just because the key and everything was set already.
  15. Um You can see everyone's Children, you can see who's married, who's separated,
  16. who doesn't speak anymore.
  17. And then in the bubble,
  18. I put my sister and her family because they were estranged for about two years.
  19. They reconnected and then I actually haven't spoken
  20. to her again in about another two years.
  21. They kind of pick and choose when they want to speak.
  22. And it was a really stressful situation.
  23. So I put them in their own little bubble.
  24. Now, for family stories, I had included my birth story,
  25. my mom and my dad's upbringing, the whole situation that occurred with my sister.
  26. And then my story as I see it. Now
  27. for my birth story
  28. in the reading, we had said how
  29. our birth stories are really important for us to hear.
  30. And I find that really true because
  31. my mom told me this story a lot as I grew up and I feel like it,
  32. let me feel really loved and supported
  33. just because she told me everyone was so excited for me to come.
  34. And they had been like wanting another child.
  35. Now for my parents, I included how they had struggles growing up.
  36. My mom's mother wasn't very nurturing to her
  37. and she was gone a lot all the time because her husband had left her
  38. and then my dad, his father was an alcoholic. So they actually had to leave him
  39. when my father was a young boy as well.
  40. And then my dad became the man of the house
  41. as a little kid and had to like provide income to his house as well.
  42. Even just starting like selling flowers on the side of the street.
  43. For my sister's story, I just expressed how
  44. we're not close and I kind of wish that we were.
  45. Um but I just feel like she's changed completely as a person.
  46. And even though I don't include her as part of my family
  47. in the previous slides,
  48. I just feel like it was just such a big impact on me.
  49. So I felt the need to share that story.
  50. And for my story,
  51. I just wanted to express how I feel like I've had such a
  52. good foundation and I'm a really good product of everyone around me.
  53. Survey results. So for everyone in Texas,
  54. I kind of got the feeling that my mom runs the household.
  55. My stepdad said how his what he looks forward
  56. to coming home is seeing his wife and his supporter
  57. and my brother and sister kept telling me that
  58. they were trying to think and answer the questions
  59. in my mom's mentality. Even as much as I told them, it had to be in their own answer.
  60. Everyone's definition kind of varied on who family is.
  61. Um for my family in Texas, it was more like who's inside their household.
  62. For my sister, Olivia,
  63. she kind of considered who she sees more often and included her friends in there.
  64. And then my dad and my boyfriend actually went
  65. a little more extended with their cousins as well.
  66. But overall, everyone just said that
  67. they love the support and comfort they get
  68. from their family and having that unconditional love.
  69. Our mission statement. Um pretty much
  70. all the way around no matter who I spoke to.
  71. We just want to be a good person in life, have a happy and successful life.
  72. And I asked them to like what success means. But
  73. my little brother just simply stated,
  74. he just wants to feel happy to him that's successful.
  75. Like as long as he's doing a job where he doesn't hate it and he feels happy,
  76. he feels like he's done when he needs to
  77. and the president were great.
  78. But in the future, I would definitely like to feel a lot closer to my siblings.
  79. So I've been making that effort by texting and reaching out to them first.
  80. Now I've included photos so you can get some visuals.
  81. So this is my boyfriend Dylan and then my doggie Rocket.
  82. Now I have my mom's side of the family so you can see my mom,
  83. Emily Ernie and my stepdad and then his son or my mom with her grandson
  84. Rocket.
  85. And then from my dad's side, I included my dad,
  86. my little sister.
  87. And then the second photo is my grandma who
  88. referred to his mom and again my little sister
  89. and that's my family project. Thank you.
