Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 110: Family Moments

Keeping family pictures always gives me a smile wherever I go, and slipping into my gallery, I realize that there are groups of people looking up to me to succeed in order to change their story, and that group of people is my family. Family can either be found through birth or even on the street; we can also find a family.

Family is a group of people who live together, are related by blood, eat together, and share things in common.

Family is a foundation that everyone must belong to; it is a very nice place to behold. The funny things, the memory, and everything are worth making the family proud.

The family is made up of a father, a mother, and children. These people share their secret together; people in here build their dreams together and pray together, and they do everything possible to make their family name be heard in their generation.

• Nuclear Family

• Extension

A nuclear family is made of a father, a mother, and children. These people eat together, live, and grow up together. They know and understand each other very well; they know what others like and what others dislike.

An extended family is a group of people that live together; they consist of a father, mother, children, grandchildren, cousins, aunties, and even uncles.

I have learned a lot from my family, both nuclear and extended. As the first child of the family, my parent taught me how to be useful to myself, younger ones, and the family at large. They build me to be independent in life in order to face life challenges. They have built me to be self-disciplined, to avoid bad peer pressure, especially during the teenage age. Their advice has kept me moving in life, and I am proud of the man I'm becoming.

I am the kind of person that always loves being around my family, especially the extended family. So my cousins are staying at Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. They always visit the family, especially during the Christmas period. It was always fun having them around; when we were still children, whenever they visited, they would buy bread and other things for the family, and we would all share it together. We believe that together we will build a greater nation for our generation. We believe in helping humanity; we don't work for the betterment of the family alone but for the betterment of the generation. Whenever they visited, we would go out in the evening, strolling around the village to behold the beauty of the village and to also attend the cultural events in the village; it is always unique to be around the family.

Family is the blood, and the blood is always thicker than the water. As a great people belonging to a certain family, we must always do things that will bring good names to our family. A family can also be a good friend, good people that you meet up with while going out to hustle. I love my family. Every family is a blessing.
