Undergraduate / My Family (from Saudi Arabia) Background [8]

In general, family in this point of view is one of the most important things in our life. My family history is present in my personality, because they were the first who teach me how to love them and how to take my first step in life. The culture was important too where I grow up to makes me as a good person. My Family history and culture has a huge influence on me. It has made me who I am today.

My family from Saudi Arabia and we have different backgrounds, which includes lifestyle, food, culture, religious beliefs. As for me, I am the only child in family. And sometimes I think about how will I live if I have a sister or brother. Sometimes it is so boring to be at home along. I think about my parents, that all my childhood they helped me and did everything for me. But it doesn't mean that I'm the main person in my family. Family it is also our grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles but I do not know more things about them. Also. my family tree has a long history of generations that sometimes are so ancient that we cannot remember the member of it. I know about our forefathers from our grandparents. As for me it's really interesting to know who lived before me. And when I begin to ask my parents about forefathers I find for myself a lot of interesting things. Unfortunately, I know not a lot of people in my family branch.

My lovely family consists of only three members: my mom, my dad and me. It was bigger when my brother was alive. He died from an accident when I was nearly ten. Not realizing how tragic and irrevocable the event of his death was for my mom and my dad. My father entered the hospital mental health after the death of my older brother and he spent about a month. After that he came out of the hospital and he was not like before, The thing that made me dependent on myself and responsible for my family. As result, which made me decided to study abroad to get a certificate that makes me to get the good job.

My hero is my older brother, Turky (died at the age of 25). He started from nothing in the begging of his life because nobody helped him in that time. When he started to think about selling cars people made fun of him, but after a few years he became one of the best car salesman in the town. Also, my mother told me that he did not like to take any help from anybody even from my father. However, when I think about what he did and what the age he started to sell cars, it makes me think he is my hero. I hope I can do half of what he has done in the past because I know that will be hard for me to do. Also, he helped our family when they need anything, and helped many people that I know because he liked to help poor people all the time. He liked help homeless people in several ways. I want to become like him helping people that he does not know without feeling tired. My hero is my brother because he was fighter, helpful and respectful man.

In conclusion, word family is a strong word because of this huge meaning behind and the family of today is much different than the family of 50 years ago. without Families you can not give the love and support to your children need which they need to become mature and responsible adults.
