I am the person who come from a really loving family and I have been raised with the idea of great unity. In my family, we help one another when there is a need, and we all love to spend as much time together as possible. In our opinion, this is very important because we believe communication and harmony are the elements that can be found at the base of any successful family. However, still, there is one person in my family who will always be a real mystery to me and I feel I have never truly known this person.

I have been raised by the kind people, my mother and father, who married out of love, and have two children: my brother and me. My brother is two years younger than me. My mother and father taught me that communication is vital in any relationships in order to keep the flame going. They have been married for twenty years and it is not very common nowadays.

He is really powerful because he makes all the rules regarding my school, friends, schedules, eating habits and homework timings. Even though he is strict most of the time, he is also highly flexible as he allows me to experiment with different types of friends, lifestyles and hobbies.

My father has played a vital role in making me the person who I am today. He influenced a lot of aspects in my life, including my moral standards, education, as well as supporting me financially. He acts as my role model, confidant, and mentor. He really values education as he always kept telling me, “Education is the key to success in life”. With this regard, he took me to school and kept helping me to do my homework. Apart from that, he provided all the school requirements such as books and tuition fee. He insisted that both formal and non-formal education are essential in an individual’s life. He used to teach me how to keep the home clean and …
