The Importance Of Family

Nothing in life other than God is more important than family.

The Importance Of Family
Carson Schlotfeldt

To me family is one of the most important things in my life. It is higher than everything in my life other than my faith. Most people in this world think that your family is only the people that you are related to by blood or marriage.

To you, I say that is not true.

Yes, your family is the people that you are related to by blood or marriage, but it is also much more. Family is people you can always talk to when you need to. Family is people you can always count on to be there to support you through anything and everything. Family pushes you to be the best you can be. Family is people you look forward to seeing no matter what, and family is people who care about you like you are their son, daughter, brother or sister. There are many people in my life that I am not related to by blood or marriage, but they are family.

The greatest thing about family is their support for you through everything you do. My family has supported me through my many years of football. I can’t thank them enough for that. There would be times when I would doubt my abilities, but they would be there to pick me back up and remind me of what I am capable of because of God. My family pushes me to also do the best I can in difficult times because they know that it will help me in the long run. I appreciate my family and all they do for me. They are the most important thing in my life behind my faith, and I wouldn’t trade them for anyone.

Family does so much for you. Take in what they do for you and teach you and always tell them you love them even when you are mad at them because you never know when you won’t ever see them again. Love your family no matter what and thank them for everything they do.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
