My spark is my family. I could never live without any of my family. Every morning when I wake up to my family, it lightens up my day. There is not one day I live that I don’t think about them. I know they love me and they know I love them. Every day they make me feel that life is worth living.
I chose my family to be my spark because if I didn’t have a family in my every day life I would not be standing here today (meaning that I could not live without them in my life). My family is my whole world. I enjoy my mother because she puts a roof over my head, buys me food, gets me things I want and need, and I wake up to her almost every morning. I enjoy my brother because he lets me play video games with him, sometimes bosses me around so that I can do things better in life, and gives me good advice. I enjoy one of my sisters because she has been there for me since I was a baby. She gives me lots of stuff, and lets me know that I’m not alone. I enjoy my other sister because she lets me stay at her house, eat her food, gives me good advice for the future, and she has faith in me to do whatever I want to do in the future. I enjoy my niece and nephew because they entertain me and they both are just so cute! I enjoy my close cousins because I hang out with them and they keep a smile on my face. I enjoy the rest of my family because they love me and I know they would protect me if I were in harm. I probably would enjoy the family I have not met because everyone in my daily life makes me happy. All of my family help me through my bad days and keep me going through on my good days. I have my bad times with my family, but it does not last very long because I can’t be mad at someone who I love and care about. My family is like the bright light when you go to heaven, I can’t go ahead unless I have them. I live for them.
I first knew that my family was my spark when I was a young little girl. Every day I know that these are the people I will wake up to, I know that they are going to care for me, protect me, love me day in and day out, and I also know that these are the people I love.
Every day I see my family. During the weekdays and during the weekends. My family has led me through the days and still keeps me going. My family has helped me accomplish many things such as waking up in the morning, wanting to live each day through to see them, they help me with school, give advice for the future, they give me happiness and joy everyday, and they help me plan for the future to grow up and live a very great life. They also accomplish to help me when the times I’m sad to get it so that I’m happy again. If someone took my family away then I would live a boring and depressing life. I wouldn’t be able to take care of myself or I couldn’t get advice so that I can grow up and be successful. I love my family too much for them not to be with me.
My family is the world to me and I love everything they do for me. They help me plan ahead for the future and live a normal child’s life. They have supported me through all the days since I was born. They have been there for me and they help me with lots of things. I can’t see the light of day if I don’t have my family. When one passes away I have a hard time, but my other family members help me through it. I love my family and I know that they love me back.
