Big Families

Author's Note: "I have grown up all my life surronded by tons of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Big Families can be lots of fun but can also be a pain sometimes."

I have a big family. My Dad is the youngest of 9 and my Mom is the youngest of 8 children. Growing up with a big family is always a lot of fun because there are lots of people to talk to and hang out with. Since my parents are the youngest in their family most of my cousins are much older that me. My oldest cousin is 37 and has two kids already and most of my other cousins have graduated from college and have already started their careers. Family reunions are also a great experience for me because I get to catch up with people I haven't seen in a while. Also I don't get to see my cousins and aunts and uncles very frequently because they are all grow up and busy a lot, but we use Skype and Facetime to keep in touch. For example my cousin Leah is currently studying abroad in Santiago, Chile so we keep in touch with her by emailing, texting, Facetiming, and Skyping.  Family is very important to me and the more family I have to more people I have to go to if I get in trouble or am going through a hard time. I know that my family will always be there to support me no matter what happens.
