In my darkest hours, my family has always been my light

Each week in June, we are publishing an essay by an LGBTQ writer that answers this question: Where do you find pride, joy and/or comfort in your own life, particularly amid a rise in anti-LGBTQ legislation? Check back here each Monday this month to read a new installment of the series.

Joy is what lights us up.

I’ve come to know it through a variety of means — dancing, music, hiking, food, movies, karaoke, dodgeball, writing, meditation, connection. Each of these brings a spark to my life that feeds my spirit and sustains me.

That’s not to say joy comes easy, though. Every day requires real effort, intention and commitment for me to attain it. My attempts aren’t always successful, but I keep at it because I’m worth it. I believe that now. I haven’t always.

As a Samoan, I come from a community that is rampant with homophobia and other conservative values. Thankfully, my mum, dad and two siblings didn’t push any of these views in our home in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Even so, coming out in 2017 at the age of 32 was difficult. I feared judgment from other Pacific Islanders, and, above all, I was terrified of embarrassing my loved ones whom I sought so hard to make proud.

Confronting the truth was freeing, and my family readily accepted me. But it only scratched the surface in terms of coming to terms with reality — it took me longer to open up to them about my battle with addiction.

It started in 2016 while I was living in Sydney. I had just finished a contract in what I thought was my dream job in the entertainment industry; it turned out to be the opposite of that. After enduring a hostile and often racist working environment for two years, things ended badly, and I was at an all-time low. When a man I’d hooked up with offered me crystal meth one night, I said, “Why not?”

Getting high once or twice a month became part of my routine that I managed to keep under wraps. When I moved to Los Angeles the following year, things got significantly worse. I had more free time, and now I was thousands of miles away from my family in Porirua — my support network. Something I had taken for granted.

Telling them I was struggling with substance abuse was like coming out all over again. On Christmas Day, I called my mother to tell her I was an addict. Perhaps subconsciously, I thought I was softening the blow. In actuality, the revelation shook my mother to her core. She stood by me, though. Another burden had been lifted off my shoulders.

Still, a lot would need to happen before I could pull myself out. Individual and group therapy, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Sex Addicts Anonymous — you name it, I was doing it. There were some positive aspects to these meetings, but for the most part, they all felt out of touch because they centered Whiteness. It was isolating; I’d often leave triggered or resentful. As the years passed, I’d gain a year or so of sobriety, lose it for a few weeks, build another year up and so on. It became a cycle.

Then the pandemic hit in 2020. I was out of work, got kicked out of my apartment and was relapsing fast and furiously. My spiraling had never been as reckless or disastrous before. Between the collective weight of the pandemic and the ineptitude and gross misconduct of the U.S. government, it’s a wonder any of us were — are — functioning as we’re expected to, business as usual.

The Pasifika community was dying at disproportionate rates across the United States, along with other historically marginalized groups. Coupled with the violence and chaos of law enforcement during the racial justice protests, I felt scared, lost, alone.

At that point, I hadn’t seen my family back home in almost five years. My best friend, Court, who has been instrumental in every step of my healing, lives on the other side of the country, too. I spoke to all of them every day, but it wasn’t the same as being together, holding and hugging each other.

By June, my situation was dire. And yet, despite how bad it was, I was desperate to stay in L.A. I carried a great deal of pride and shame, and I was afraid of the uncertainty that would come in letting go of the pain I was so familiar and “comfortable” with.

Court sensed I was off — and she reminded me that now was not the time to let my ego get in the way of my survival. I eventually mustered up the courage to reach out to my extended family, my Uncle Percy and Aunty Tupou, who are based in the South Bay area. We are related by blood distantly, but our family history and cultural ties are close. Without hesitation, they drove down to Los Angeles and back to bring me into their home.

For decades, they’ve taken in countless guests and helped them get back on their feet. It’s truly a Samoan/Tongan household, where there’s always around 10 residents (kids included) — not just because they have a big family, but because it’s in their nature to take care of others who need it. After feeling lonely for so long, I’d finally found a place to live that genuinely feels like a home. And living with young babies has been indescribable; their energy has affected me in the most beautiful ways.

Together, we play board games, we work out, we swim, we argue, we laugh, we cry, we eat, we gossip, we vent, we crack jokes, we share stories, we watch “Encanto” and “Turning Red” hundreds of times — all the acts of affection I’d been missing and desperately craving while living solo. I’ve been welcomed into a loving environment where I can focus on getting better and actually thrive.

Tragedy struck when my Uncle Percy passed away suddenly last year. But every Sunday, I take blueberries to his grave after my hike — that was one of his favorite snacks. In those moments, I like to sit in gratitude for how he showed up for me, which allowed me to show up for myself and, in turn, now show up for my loved ones.

My family is what keeps me centered and healthy. My family here, my family back home and my chosen family (especially Court). They are my greatest source of joy and peace. They are constant reminders of what unconditional love is.

It’s a gift but also a privilege to have such a solid foundation amid today’s political climate, where LGBTQ folk, particularly Black queer and trans folk, are being attacked on every level. Every day, we see our basic human rights being violated and stripped away across the board. Not everyone has the safety net I do to rely on.

Without it, I’d still be stuck. For all we know, I could be dead.

For those who find themselves on a rocky path to recovery, don’t give up. That breakthrough and that blessing that changes everything could be just around the corner.

Today, I’m in a position I couldn’t imagine two years ago. I just booked my immediate family’s flights to come visit this December. For the first time in six years, I’ll get to embrace my mum, my sister, my niece and my nephew and take them to Disneyland and wherever else they want to go.

So many LGBTQ people have had to create new families and communities because we weren’t accepted in the ones we were born into. We all have the power to do that. And we all deserve to experience love — from our families, and from ourselves.

My Family My Pride – A story about Family and Love

Parents play an important role in the growth of an individual. They do sacrifice their life and happiness and invest their 100% for their children. That’s the duty of every parent. But how much do we as children respect and honor them is a big question. We owe many things to them. They have struggled throughout their life only for our happiness.   I still remember the good old days when my mother sacrificed her entire life for me and my sister. 

You can’t measure your parent’s struggles. But we should not forget that we all have an important role to play in their life as they played in ours. I am at a loss of words when I have to talk about my mother. She has been a pillar and a support structure in my life who taught me what life was all about. She motivated and encouraged me in every decision that I make. She sat by us every time I and my sister studied. Imagine doing all this after a long day at work. People tend to get tired after a long day at work, a hectic day to be precise.

She never got tired especially when it came to looking after her children. All that she desired in life was her children’s happiness. I can proudly announce that my momma is the best mother in the world. She has been the guiding star in my life. Whenever I faltered, she was always there to guide me. In every important decision that I made in my life, she has always been there. Some say that there is a light on the other side of the tunnel. My mother is the brightest light who was always there to paint my dreams.

But she would never talk about the sacrifices and the struggles that she made for us. Of course, she didn’t want us to know all that.  She just wanted us to focus on our dreams. Despite earning a low salary, she invested most of it for our extra classes so that we could not face any difficulty in our studies.  She did every bit of what she could do. When I look around, I realize that my parents have gone a few miles extra to look after their children.

Best holds less value as compared to their efforts. So if there is something beyond best, then they are my parents! They never said no to me and my sister. Despite having tight finance, they would anyhow make the necessary arrangements. They want me to stand on my toes and look after my own self. It’s said that up to only a certain age that your parents would look after you. 

Today I am at a better position in my life. I can fend for myself. But when I look behind, on my life journey, I could say that my parents were the heroes in my life! I would be zilch if it wasn’t them who never let me go down.  Engineering textbooks used to cost half a grand and others in my class would opt for previous edition and 3 rd handbooks, but my mother and father would buy me new books. I would snap them saying that I don’t need new books and new books are too expensive.

But my stubborn parents cared about their children more than money.  Aforementioned, they only cared about me and my sister’s happiness and they wanted us to be in a good position in our life! Friends, be happy about what life has to offer you.  Never forget your parent’s contribution to your life. My parents are like my two eyes!  Today, by God’s grace I have everything, and all that is because of my parent’s struggle and sacrifices!

If they had not been supportive then I would have been nowhere! I can look after all my needs and now it’s my time to look after them and make sure they both get all the happiness that they sacrificed during their young age, looking after both of us! Thank you, God, for blessing me by giving a wonderful family! I could not have asked for anything better than that!  Unhone humhe  apne dum  pe jeena Sikhaya!   My Family, My Pride!

A family is one of the greatest gift god has given to all living creatures on the earth including humans. It is a privilege to have a happy family as not everyone in the world has it.

The joy of living with your parents, fighting with your siblings over petty can just make you smile the moment you think of it. In order to inculcate the values of a family in the students, we have composed some short essays for students.

These essays are suited for students of all ages and classes. Not only these essays shall give an insight on how a family should be but shall also enrich the students with the moral values of a family.

Audience: The below given essays are exclusively written for kids, children and school students.

Family is important to every one of us and we all love our family. Wherever we go in this world and whatever we may achieve, our heart and soul will always be in our home because it is where our beautiful family is. Nothing in this world can be stronger than the bonding of the blood . The members of the same family may have differences of opinions, may quarrel often for silly things but in spite of all these it is our family that supports us during our ups and downs.

As the saying goes, “ Family is the best thing you could ever wish for. They are there for you during the ups and downs and love you no matter what”.

Contrary to this saying, we cannot choose our family as we choose our friends. But I can say that I’m blessed with a wonderful family. My family is very small with four members – my mother, my father, my elder sister and me. My family is a middle class family and my father is officially the bread winner of our family. My mother supports him financially by taking tuitions for school children.

We do not have much money or wealth but what my family has in abundance is love for each other which cannot be replaced by anything else in this world. My father and my mother are the role models to my sister and me. They struggle a lot to give us a better life. More than anything they have taught us discipline and morals of life which is helping us to lead our lives in a righteous path even today.

I cannot ask anything more to God since he has already showered me with my family which I treasure the most every second and will safeguard even in the future.

The family is a valuable god gift which plays a most crucial role in every individual’s life. I love my family very much because all of my family members stand in my good as well as bad times. From moral teachings to love and support, my family has always helped me without any demand. There is no doubt that we experience our biggest triumphs when we really connect to them.

My family is like a strong pillar for me, on which I can rely blindly anytime I require support. From my family, I have learned the social graces of loyalty & cooperation.

My family consists of my grandfather, my grandmother, my mother, my father, two young sisters and myself. My grandparents are the pillars of my family and my grandfather is the head of my family. He is the one whose decision relating to any matter is final and all of us do respect it.

Right from my childhood, my family members have prepared me for the challenges that I’ll face in the years ahead. In addition to this, all of my family members help and serve each other at times of need. These qualities that I have learnt from my family has helped me to shape my adult life in a right manner.

I am really very attached to my grandfather. He holds an excellent life experience because he has already faced so many ups and downs. My Grandfather has helped me to build my perception & vision towards society.

My family has always been there to motivate and encourage me to overcome all difficulties in life and achieve success. The role of every member in my family is unique and important in their own way. I thank God that I have grown up in a family full of love and discipline. My family values will definitely help me in becoming a better person.

A person without family and its love never becomes completely happy in his/her life. I am complete and happy with my family that includes five members. My family is a group of five including me, father, mother, brother, and sister. Family bonding is a unique type of love that gives you every lesson needed to live a harmonious life.

Growing under the supervision of a caring and loving family will increase our social values and overall well-being. Each member of my family carries out equal responsibility in sculpting the strong bonding needed for a better future and develop moral importance in each other.

My father owns a successful business of office stationery store. He uses the money to cover all our expenses and give a better lifestyle to the family. He works hard day and night to get us better education, food, home, etc. He hides all his tiredness when he comes home after a long day to spend quality time with us.

My mother is a talented homemaker who also does a part-time tailoring at home. She does all her duties with at most interest, from taking care of us to all the household chores and finds time to pursue her passion as well. She is a multi-tasker and does all the tasks from helping us in our studies to preparing delicious healthy foods to sculpt us into a better human being.

My brother is an engineering graduate and does a job in a well-known company. He is my best well-wisher and helps me in all ups and downs. My sister is also an engineering graduate and an employee in an IT company. She always finds time to help me with all my difficulties and she is my secret keeper too.

My family is a lifeline to whom I can run to, whatever may be the situation I am facing. My family guides me to be a good person and help me in nurturing good values. We, humans, are animals that live together spreading love and care for each other, and this togetherness is called family. The absence of such a divine bonding make us equal to animals.

Family value and growing in such a caring surrounding helps me to pass all the struggles and hardships that I face in my daily life. Whatever be the situation we are facing, our family will never leave us alone. My family is a blessing for me and I value everyone in my family with equal respect and love.

Most of the people in the world are blessed with having a family. A family, with whom you can share all your joys and sorrows, who is there to guide you through your growing years, who stands by you in the toughest of the situations. I too am blessed to have such a family.

My family is one the most bizarre family in the world. We are four people, my mother, my father, my younger brother and me. While my father is the one who does work for a living, it is my mother who is the boss of the house. My father is a humble person. He is an officer in a government department. My mother is a housewife. It is our mother who takes care of our studies as our father is often busy with his official assignments and even travels for days together. We just miss him when he is not at home.

He never scolds us. But, our mother is just the opposite. She wants us to remain disciplined and we often get scolded by her. However, our father comes to our rescue most of the times. My brother, still in school is the one with whom I love to spend my time the most. Not because I love to play with him, but because, being the elder sister, I enjoy instructing him and showing him who is more powerful at home. He, at a time, seems so helpless when our mother says to obey his sister. I just love that moment. But not all days are the same. I hate having to study all along while he gets to play more than me.

The Atmosphere in my Family:

We largely have a peaceful atmosphere at home. After school, our time is spent on studying, playing and watching television, which of course our mother does not like. Unlike other couples, my mother and father seldom have a fight. In fact, as soon we see an argument brewing up, one of them just withdraws and it is just rare to see a heated conversation between them. This is what I like the most about them as I feel that my parents are so cool. It is only me and brother who love to fight with each other.

However, we know that behind those fights, it is actually our love for each other which binds us together. I just enjoy being at home spending time with my parents and my brother. I just feel how bad it would be when tomorrow I and my brother shall move on for our professional lives and we shall not be able to spend much time together. However, it is the memories of today which shall be with me forever and will bring a smile on my face anytime when I feel low.

The Importance of a Family:

A family is said to be the first school of a child. It is from here you start to learn how to speak, walk and interact with the world. It is important to value the importance of a family in one’s life. At times, people feel that they are grown-ups and that their parent’s advice does not matter anymore, but that is not true. It is the elders of the family who at any given of time would know the world better than us and we should all respect our family members and love our siblings as well. It is the family who builds our character and we should feel fortunate to have a family around us.

Introduction

My family values are what I take so dear to my heart because they have made me what I am today and I plan on passing these great values to my children in future. Every family has those things, acts and values that they hold in high esteem and they cherish so much. These vales have become a part of them: most times, it is what distinguishes the traits in each family and in some ways it makes or mars the future of the family members. Same applies to my family, we have some set values that has become a part of us and it has made my life a lot better because I have become a better person who is not only valuable to himself but also to the society at large. I will be sharing some of these values with you.

My Family Values:

Some of my family values include:

1. Honesty:

This is a principle that is highly protected in my family. My dad has this saying that, “honesty is the best policy.” Ever since I was little, my family has taught me how to be honest and the benefits that lie within. Sometimes, my parents even test us in ways we were not expecting and a reward is given to the person that comes out honest. This is one of my family values that I cherish so much and I am proud that it is what my family hold in high esteem.

2. Kindness to Others:

This is not a common trait to all. My mom has this belief that if the world and everybody in it shows love and kindness to one another, there will be no hatred and wars will be eradicated. This is a family value that we cherish so much. I learnt to show love to everybody. Even when we did not have much, my parents will still give to those who are needy. My dad says that the world is like a river, we would eventually flow into one another later and you do not know the future, the person you helped today might eventually be of help to you tomorrow.

3. Education:

This is a value that has been passed from generation to generation in my family. My dad would say that education is the best legacy you can give to a child. My family does everything in their capacity for you to get a sound and benefitting education. The acquisition of knowledge is also quite important. All of us try to gain more and more knowledge because we all have a family slogan that says “knowledge is power and that power makes me a hero.”

4. Dress and Appearance:

This is a religious value we cherish in my family. My dad would say that you are addressed the way you dress. I do not want to be address wrongly and give out a wrong impression. So, our appearance really matter a lot to us and the way we dress.

Conclusion:

Every family has one thing or the other that they hold in high esteem and tend to pass on from generation to generation. This is what makes a family a united sect not because we are related by blood but because of we share the same values.

Introduction:

Why I love my family is a question that has been floating through my mind for a very long time because no matter how hard I try to pin out a reason why I love them, I just can’t find one. This can be due to fact that they mean the whole world to me and I will do anything for them. I love my family a lot and I would like to share some of the reasons why I love my family and will never trade them for anything.

Why I Love My Family:

I have a family that consists of 6 people: my father, my mother and four children which includes me. For you to understand why I love my family I will tell you a little about each of them and why I love them so much.

My father is the best father in the world: well, that’s what I say. He is a business manager. I look up to my father a lot because I will like to take a lot of his behaviours and make it mine. He taught me to be contented with whatever I have. We did not have much when I was growing up; my dad lost his job and still did not allow anything of the pressure change how he behaved to us at home. He is caring, gentle, accommodating and disciplined.

My mum is the best cook in the world. I do not know where I would be today without my mum. I owe her a lot. She is a teacher by profession and this fascinates me a lot because not only is she inculcating knowledge in the young minds of tomorrow, she is also building the future of our society at large. I want to be like my mum. I remember those times when she had to sacrifice when the most precious of her things just to make me happy. She is loving, caring, understanding, accommodating. In fact, she is everything you can ever wish for in a mother.

My elder sisters are the best. Although they can be frustrating sometimes but that is mostly because of my stubbornness. They pretend they do not really care but deep inside they do. The things they do even subconsciously say otherwise. I remember a day in elementary school, I was being bullied a boy in class. On this particular day, he hit me. Unknowing to me, my sister heard about it and she beat the boy and made him apologise to me, I felt so happy that day because I had someone who had my back.

My brother is one of the best gifts I have received. He is the last child and this gives him an opportunity to be annoying if you know what I mean. He is joyful and always ready to heed correction. There was this day, I heard him bragging to his friends about how awesome I am, and I was the happiest that day.

We all have one reason or the other on why we love our family. I love mine because they are the best gift I could ever ask for and the fact that they have been there for me through the good, bad and funny times.

Importance of family is something that is greatly overlooked and underrated in the world we live in today. The definition that the family had about one hundred years before now was very clear. Back then, a family was believed to be a unit that consisted of the father that was in charge of the finances of the family, a mother whose primary duty was to look after the home and take care of the children and then there were the children. Largely based on the region you are from, a family can also include members of the extended family like aunts, uncles and grandparents. This type of family system is referred to as joint family.

Family Importance:

A family that is important is one that is very strong. If a family is going to be very strong, there is a need for the bond between them to be very strong. Bonds that help in keeping the members of a family with each other are relationships. If there are very strong relationships among all the members of a family, there is going to be stronger commitment between all of them and the family as a unit will be very important.

Better communication is also a result of family relationships that are very strong. If all the family members can take time out to talk and know each other well, the bond between them is bound to be very strong. Even if the conversations are about big things or small things, it does not really matter. The most important thing is that all family members stay connected to one another. It is very important that they all list to each other and understand every member.

How to make Family Bonds Very Strong:

We have various things that can help our family bond to improve.

A few of them include:

1. Love: love is the most important thing we need for our bonds as a family to improve. When we love the members in our family, we will also be able to know all about privacy, intimacy, caring, belonging and sharing. When there is love in a family, the family will prosper.

2. Loyalty: loyalty is something that comes as a result of love. Family members should stay devoted to each other. It is important that we are able to count on our family to have our back anytime we are facing problems.

The importance of family can never be overstated even though we live in a different time now and our attitudes to relationships, marriage and what a family should be has changed. The family is something that we need to help share our problems and be there for us anytime we have issues. A lot of the things that were not acceptable in the past and we now see as normal. Even with all the changes that the society has effected on our family system, the family still remains the major foundation of our society and this will remain the same.

My family is the best gift I have got. A family can be simply said to mean a social group of different people in our society that includes one or more parents and also their children. In a family, every member of the family commits to other members of the family in a mutual relationship. A family is a very important unit and the smallest unit in the society. A family whether a big one or a small one is of very great importance and use to all of its members and is believed to be the unit of our society that is strongest because the society is formed from the coming together and culmination of various families.

In many cultures, the family serves a child’s first school where the child learns all about their traditions and cultures more importantly learn about all the rudimentary values in life. A family is very essential in the teaching of healthy habits and good manners to all the members of the family. It gives the members of the family the opportunity to become people with better character in our society. I feel very lucky to be born into a small and lovely family; I learnt a lot of things from my family.

I am from a middle class and average family with six members (my father, my mother, my grandmother, my grandfather, my younger brother and me). My grandfather is the head of the family and we all respect and listen to him. He is really wise and tries to advise each and every one of us using his many life experiences. He has been involved in many interesting and adventurous activities that he tells me about all the time. Most of the time, he has the final say on all of our family issues and he does his best to make all his decisions impartial.

Any time we are eating today as a family, he sits at the top of the table; we all have designated seats at the dining table. When my brother and I are available, my grandfather teaches us about our traditions and cultures. My grandfather is very friendly and has a cool and great personality and tries to talk nicely and calmly to everyone passing across his message without being rude. He helps my brother and sometimes me with our assignments. He majorly teaches us about all of the tools we need to be successful in life including punctuality, discipline, moral, cleanliness, continuity, honesty, hard work and trustworthiness.

My lovely grandmother is one of the nicest people I know, she tells my brother and I lovely stories every night. My father is a civil engineer and he is very hardworking, sincere and punctual. He is the breadwinner of the family and does his best to provide for every member of the family even if that means he has to work extra hours. My mother is very sweet and takes care of every member of the family even though she works as an accountant at a firm. She wakes up very early in the morning to make preparations for the day. My brother is a funny and jovial person that enjoys sporting activities and I love him so much.

Sometimes I wish my cousins, uncles and aunts lived with us, I love having them around. There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of having everyone around. I have highlighted some below.

Some advantages are:

1. It gives a better routine of living that can contribute to a proper growth.

2. Having a joint family helps in following the numerous principles of an equitable economy and helps teach discipline and respect. It also teaches us how to share the burden of other family members.

3. There is the understanding of having to adjust to the needs of other family members.

4. The children in a large family get to grow up in a happy environment because they have children of their age around that they can play with.

5. All the members of a joint family are usually very disciplined and responsible as everyone has to follow the instructions of the family head.

Some of the disadvantages include:

1. There is always the chance of a rift or fight between the family members because of the possible imbalance of feelings of oneness, brotherly love and feeling of generosity.

2. There is a chance of the members of the family that earn very high looking down on members of the family that do not.

The concept of family is important in India for every individual. Family defines an individual background in terms of social relations and growth. Families influence the lives of individuals from childhood to adulthood especially in decisions concerning life milestones like marriage and career paths. Indian families live together for up to four generations under one roof and they manage to maintain lose family relations compared to other families across the globe. Indian families tend to stick to their cultural practices as a family and they maintain religious practices that cut across the family. Elders in Indian families are respected by the members of the family and their opinions are considered during decision making.

What Family Really Means :

Basic knowledge defines a family as a group of people who share genetic and legal bonds. However, the concept of family means a lot more for other people than just the bond and it incorporates the concepts of culture and religion. In India, the concept of family differs from what the rest of the world perceives as family.

Families in India go beyond nuclear and extend to wider circles, whereby the extended family lives together and are closely related. The relationships in the family are strong such that cousins are considered siblings and aunts and uncles are considered parents. Family also means the unconditional love among the members of the family whereby there is support in terms of finances and emotions.

Why the Family is so important:

The family plays a central role in lives of individuals in teaching of moral values. Parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents have been known to teach the children on morality and disciplinary issue s in most cultures. Both spiritual and moral values are instilled through family. Family give a sense of belonging to individuals because they are over by the family and supported at all times.

A family will always support its members with needs including financial and emotional needs. In a family, there has been established levels of satisfaction and happiness from the joy of being together. Families also helping community development through contributions and participating in activities in the community. The family is important in the society in maintaining order, discipline and peace.

I come from a big family. My family has not moved to an urban area and so we still live as a wider circle together with the extended family. In my nuclear family, I am the first born of four children. I have one sister and two brothers who are still at school. I have three aunts and two uncles. My cousins are twelve in number and most of them are at school except for the youngest ones.

My grandparents are very old and they do not get out of the house much and are being taken care by my parents and aunts. Most of the children are always at school and the house gets quiet but during holiday, we all unite together as a full house. My family is of the middle class in terms of wealth. Our religion is Hindu and we all practice the Indian cultures and traditions. What I love about my family is that everyone is a good cook and the food is always amazing. Members of my family are kind and respectful and that is why we rarely have disputes. The family support is strong and we all love each other.

Why I love My Family:

Having a big family is interesting because the house always feels warm. As I had earlier mentioned, my family is made of good cooks, which makes me love them. There is always teamwork within the family and good relationships are maintained. I like the adventurous nature of my family because we always have fun whenever we go for holiday vacations or have a family event.

Moral cultural and spiritual values are highly cared for in the society. My family is oriented in good moral values and believe we make a good role model for the society. Despite the influence of education, the family has been able to maintain the culture and traditions of Indian people. The love that exists in my family is precious and that is the most important value of all times because what family without love?

Our Weekend Outings and House Parties:

We do not have many of these in our family because of the different schedules among the members. We only have weekend outings and house parties during holidays. Birthday parties are and weddings are the parties that we frequently have as a family. I love parties at home because the food is usually exceptionally good. Also, the dancing and happy faces. Weekend outings are usually in form of picnics and they are usually full of games.

Cousins Visit during Summer:

My family is young and only three of my cousins are in college. The rest are in high school or elementary schools. Whenever my cousins come home from school, it is a happy moment for the whole family and we host parties to welcome them home. Whenever my older cousins are at home, I enjoy their company and I love to hear stories about college because that is where I will be in a few years’ time.

In the spirit of holidays, we have a vacation or two in a year. During these vacations, plans begin early and when the time comes, it is enjoyable and relaxing. Vacations for us as children tend to be more enjoyable because we have an environment away from home and with minimal parental supervision and we tend to explore and talk among ourselves. Team building during vacations strengthens the bond in families.

Family is a blessing to individuals because that is where they belong and it is what defines them. A good family is built through moral values and team effort. Having family events and parties or vacations re important is strengthening the relationships within a family. A happy individual is definitely from a happy family.

Sharpen Your FOCUS: Perspectives on Workplace Diversity 

UPDATE: (6/17/21) The SCOTUS ruled in the  Fulton v City of Philadelphia  case mentioned in this blog post. The SCOTUS unanimously decided that Philadelphia does not have the right bar a religious agency from refusing to work with same-sex couples.To read the full decision, click  here.

June is Pride month, which celebrates Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Allies and Pansexual (LGBTQIA+) persons. The annual recognition of Pride is in June to honor the Stonewall Riots of 1969. The Stonewall Riots occurred in response to a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay club in New York City’s Greenwich Village. The raid lead to days of protests and clashes with law enforcement because of the violent way employees and patrons of the Stonewall Inn were treated during the raid. Although there have been gay rights organizations founded since the 1920’s, the Stonewall Uprising is considered by many to have kicked off a gay rights movement both in the United States and world-wide. As a result, there has been some progress.

essay on my family my pride

One of the most widely recognized moves toward parity, is the marriage equality decision based on the Obergefell v. Hodges case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in June of 2015. The SCOTUS ruled that the ability to get married is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and therefore would be afforded to same-sex couples as well. Marriage equality has been nothing short of transformative for LGBTQIA+ persons. I can attest to this personally. As a result of Obergefell , I was able to marry my wife in April of 2016. And, right after we got married the next most popular question our friends and family asked was, “Are you going to have children?” But the answer to this question for some people, especially those who identify as LGBTQ+, can be extremely complex.

While the right to marry has been protected by the U.S. Constitution, in some cases, the rights of people who identify as LGBTQ+ to have a family is highly opposed. This topic has become the basis for heavily debated litigation both on state and federal levels. In this context I am referring specifically to the ability to physically have children whether via pregnancy, including surrogacy, or the ability to adopt a child. For example, this past November 2020, the SCOTUS heard Fulton v City of Philadelphia , a case where the City of Philadelphia barred Catholic Social Services (CSS) from placing children in foster homes because CSS would not license same-sex couples. CSS argued that, despite the fact that they are supported financially, in part, by federal taxpayer money, they are entitled to reject otherwise qualified same-sex couples for the sole reason that they are same-sex. CSS argued their policy is protected by their constitutional right to freedom of speech and exercise of religion. This is one example of numerous cases where same-sex couples or gay persons have limited choices when trying to adopt a child because some adoption agencies have become privatized or are religious-based and have similar rules as CSS. The SCOTUS decision on this case is still pending.

Another case that made both national and international news was that of James Derek Mize, and his husband, Jonathan Gregg, both American citizens who sued the U.S. Department of State (DOS) for denying their foreign born child U.S. Citizenship. James and Jonathan worked with a surrogate, located in the United Kingdom, to have their daughter. However, due to additional circumstance regarding the egg-donor and sperm donation from Jonathan, the DOS denied James and Jonathan’s daughter U.S. Citizenship. The reason was based on an outdated immigration law which requires the child born abroad to have a biological connection to a parent born in the U.S. Jonathan, the biological father of their child, was born in Britain. If the child had been biologically related to both parents, the policy would never have applied. This case is an example of the unexpected challenges LGBTQ+ persons can face when trying to have a family and the outdated rules still implemented by the U.S. immigration system. In September 2020, a federal court struck down the DOS rule that denied citizenship for James and Jonathan’s child. Click here to read the decision.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has become a more widely utilized alternative method to pursue pregnancy. However, if a gay person or same-sex couple wants to pursue this option, some insurance companies will not cover any medical expenses incurred because often the individual or couple must prove the they have tried through “traditional methods” to get pregnant have been unable to obtain a viable pregnancy. Thus, the expense of this option can be overwhelming and therefore, prohibitive. Season 3 of the Netflix show Master of None did a thoughtful job of discussing and portraying this very issue.

Given that marriage is now a protected constitutional right for all U.S. Citizens, does this not also imply that the right to have a family, if a person so chooses, should be as well? The idea that a person is only “fit” to bear or raise a child if they meet a very narrow set of perimeters is simply put, unrealistic. No single factor alone has been identified to guarantee someone will or is a good parent. Thus, I would then argue that an individual’s sexuality or gender identity should not be the sole factor in determining their ability to have and raise a child either.

Pride is generally a joyous celebration where we see rainbow flags flying, parades, and public displays of solidarity with LGBTQIA+ persons, who are able to celebrate out and proud in part because of the aftermath of Stonewall. Nevertheless, Pride is a also a time to reflect on the fact that this movement was born out of decades of protests where individuals have fought and lost their lives in the pursuit of the right to simply be recognized and treated equally in all aspects of society, including the right to have and raise a family. Clearly, the need to fight continues!

From my family to all of yours, however that family is defined for you – HAPPY PRIDE!

My Grandpa Redeemed Cans for Money. He Deserved a Raise.

a photograph of used aluminum cans stuffed in a clear plastic bag.

By Andrew Li

Mr. Li is a senior at Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan.

When I was in the fifth grade, my grandpa took me to my school’s dumpster. “You know the Coca-Cola and water bottles that people throw out?” he asked me in Mandarin. I nodded, spotting two empty Poland Spring bottles lying on top of a nearby garbage pile. He swiftly plucked them out and stowed them away in a plastic bag. “That’s 10 cents. Your turn,” he said, smiling as I ran to another trash can. Seconds later, I emerged victorious, holding a Pepsi can over my head as if it were a trophy.

My grandpa was a canner, someone who collects recyclable containers on the street and redeems them for money. In New York State, canning is possible because of the Returnable Container Act , passed in 1982, which calls for a 5-cent deposit on glass, metal and plastic beverage containers. Though the law was meant to reduce litter and encourage recycling, it has also had the effect of offering a lifeline to some New Yorkers. A new bill that is pending in the State Legislature offers a chance for us to significantly improve the welfare of canners like my grandpa.

There are an estimated 4,000 to 8,000 canners in New York City. Many of them turn to canning because they are unable to earn a steady income for a variety of reasons — because they are homeless, unemployed or recent immigrants, as my grandpa was.

It’s easy to see canning as sad and degrading. When I was in the fifth grade, I remember the looks of disgust and bewilderment on my classmates’ faces when I told them that picking through the trash was actually quite profitable. I quickly learned not to offer this observation. Nonetheless, I was raised to respect family members, especially my elders, so I was never embarrassed that my grandpa was a canner.

On the streets of New York, though, my grandpa endured scathing looks. And some of his family members looked down on him for doing work they saw as dirty and indecent.

But there’s a difference between being desperate and being pitiable. Though it’s no one’s first choice as a profession, canning offered my grandpa a chance to build a life and a family. He always took pride in his work.

When my grandparents left China for the United States, not knowing English barred them from most work, and they had to rely on what little money they could earn through odd jobs or, eventually, canning. Some people collect cans to supplement their savings and support their family members. My grandpa remembers spending hours every day picking up bottles just to earn enough money so that his family could sleep with full stomachs.

His top priority was making sure that my dad could attend college without taking out loans — a feat he was able to accomplish. Even after landing a construction job, my grandpa continued to can for 30 years, until the start of the pandemic, as a way of helping to pay the bills.

Since the Returnable Container Act was passed four decades ago, the benefits of canning have been dwindling. Five cents today is worth only a third as much as it was in 1982. To earn just $5, barely enough to afford a meal, you have to collect 100 containers. That’s 100 instances of finding and collecting, not to mention carrying everything you’ve gathered to a redemption center. Many stores also impose limits on the number and types of containers that can be redeemed, requiring canners to travel to more than one place to unload their haul.

The new bill would double the bottle deposit to 10 cents from 5 cents, as well as expand the kinds of containers that are redeemable. For many canners, a greater return would mean less time on the streets and more time to devote to education, family and working toward a more stable income.

Canning is no easy task, as my grandpa regularly pointed out. He frequently brought me along to help him carry and redeem the containers we collected. As a teenager, I had little trouble walking the half-mile route, picking out recyclables, but since my grandpa was in his 70s, he would have to stop and rest regularly. “You’re lucky,” he would tell me. “When you get to my age, everything is 10 times harder.”

Increasing the deposit on containers would also most likely be a boon to recycling. In 2020, New York recycled 5.5 billion containers , with redemption rates of 64 percent . Some of this is thanks to the long hours that canners spend picking up after other people, and in 2022, the rate reached 70 percen t. Still, this percentage can be improved, as demonstrated by Michigan’s 76 percent redemption rate and Oregon’s 86 percent , both of which offer 10 cents for containers. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the states with the highest redemption rates tend to have the highest deposits.

The benefits of doubling the bottle deposit are clear. It’s time to give canners the respect they deserve.

My Family’s Daily Struggle to Find Food in Gaza

By Mosab Abu Toha

An illustration of a man in a room where a family is eating dinner. The man sees his brother in the destroyed landscape...

Recently, my wife’s distant aunt, Leila, invited me, my wife, and our three children to her home in the Faisal neighborhood of Cairo. She promised to cook us maftoul , a Palestinian dish that we had not eaten since we fled Gaza in December. Back home, making maftoul was often a family affair. One person cooks a rich stew from pumpkin, onions, tomatoes, and chickpeas. Someone else mixes wheat flour into a dough. A third person rubs the dough through the holes of a sieve, creating tiny balls that are similar to pearl couscous. Finally, the balls are steamed and served with a hot ladleful of the stew. We looked forward to tasting it again.

Leila speaks with the same warmth as my mother, and she cooks the same familiar foods. When we arrived at her sixth-floor apartment, I felt the comfort that comes from shared history. Only months ago, my family survived Israel’s bombardment of northern Gaza, and I was detained by Israeli forces. Leila’s husband, who was deaf, was killed during Israel’s 2014 offensive in Gaza. The moment I sat down, their eleven-year-old son, who lost his father as a toddler, took out a box of dominoes and taught me to play. I thought about how none of us meant to live in Egypt. Leila and her brother came here for her son’s medical treatment, and they can no longer go home.

While the maftoul was cooking, sending a delicious smell through the apartment, I got a video call from my brother Hamza, a father of three with a fourth on the way. He was in northern Gaza, picking through the rubble of the house that we once shared. In the background was the recognizable sound of military drones, and I urged him to get to safety. Instead, Hamza passed the phone to my mother, who was there, too. She looked pale and tired, and she told me that they were running out of food, but she still thanked God for what they had. She was scouring the area for edible plants such as cheeseweed.

It is difficult to find maftoul in Egypt, and Leila’s was good. I felt lucky to taste it with my wife and kids. But, lately, hearing about unprecedented starvation in Gaza , I have felt a sort of hatred for the food in front of me. As I eat simple meals of chicken, rice, salad, and olives with my family, I think of the hunger in my homeland, and of all the people with whom I want to share my meals. I yearn to return to Gaza, sit at the kitchen table with my mother and father, and make tea for my sisters. I do not need to eat. I only want to look at them again.

When I was growing up in northern Gaza, food marked our saddest and happiest occasions. You could tell that someone had died when you saw people walking in a line with trays of food balanced on their heads: bread, boiled eggs, fried potatoes and eggplant, pickles, falafel. The neighborhood came together to feed grieving families and their guests. People also delivered refreshments before and after weddings: coffee and tea in winter; soda, juice, and ice cream in summer. During the month of Ramadan, we fasted while the sun was up, so we knew how hunger felt. But, after the evening prayer, we gathered as a family for iftar, the meal that breaks the fast.

Until recently, Gaza had enough flour. Before the war, about five hundred supply trucks arrived each day, and every three months the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East ( UNRWA ) gave rations to most of the families in my neighborhood: flour, rice, sugar, milk powder, lentils, sunflower oil, and canned food. I started buying flour only after the agency hired me as a teacher, because I could no longer receive aid. As recently as last year, I could purchase twenty-five kilograms of flour for about ten U.S. dollars. I helped my mother bake it into sfiha , a flatbread baked with minced meat. I loved to tear a warm piece of bread and scoop up a bite of falafel, avocado, or cheese.

Even when Israeli forces began their 2023 offensive, in the wake of Hamas’s October 7th attack , I could buy a kilogram of bread for about a dollar. UNRWA helped keep the price down by taking sacks of flour out of storage and distributing them to bakeries. After Israel invaded, however, the lines for food began to grow; nothing could come through Gaza’s northern borders. I often waited for hours to buy a few loaves, and when bakeries ran low on fuel I sometimes returned with nothing. And, when I read about air strikes that destroyed bakeries in Gaza City and central Gaza, I became scared to stand in line.

In the final weeks before my wife, my kids, and I fled south, my neighbors grew desperate. One day, in the Jabalia refugee camp, I heard police sirens and came upon a crowd of people in the street. They were so hungry, I learned, that they had broken into a bakery. I saw three people hide sacks of flour on a donkey cart, under a blanket. I also recognized a young man, one of my former students, in the custody of two policemen. They were holding him by the neck. “I want to feed my family,” he cried. “You cannot do this to me.”

In December, a U.N. report said that ninety-three per cent of Gaza residents—more than two million people—were experiencing crisis levels of food insecurity, or worse. “In Gaza, pretty much everybody is hungry,” Arif Husain, the chief economist at the U.N. World Food Program (W.F.P.), told The New Yorker in January. To meet the need, aid groups would need to triple or quadruple the flow of supplies into Gaza, he said—something that seemed possible only with a humanitarian ceasefire. “In my life, I’ve never seen anything like this,” Husain said. After that, Hamza sent me a video of our parents, who are staying in the Jabalia refugee camp with some relatives. My mother was sorting out clean grains from a dirty pile of rice. Apparently, someone had salvaged it and sold it to my family at the market.

On February 9th, Hamza sent me a WhatsApp voice message. He had succeeded in buying three kilograms, or six and a half pounds, of wheat flour on the black market. It had cost him a staggering forty U.S. dollars, he said, and would probably run out quickly. Still, there was a note of triumph in his voice.

Three days later, on social media, Hamza posted a photograph of what he was eating that day: a ragged brown morsel, seared black on one side and flecked with grainy bits. “This is the wondrous thing we call ‘bread’—a mixture of rabbit, donkey, and pigeon feed,” Hamza wrote in Arabic. “There is nothing good about it except that it fills our bellies. It is impossible to stuff it with other foods, or even break it except by biting down hard with one’s teeth.”

In his post, Hamza wrote about how his kids were faring. “When I hold the new bread that you are bringing me, I want to hide it so that I don’t run out of it,” his youngest daughter, Awatef, told him. “Dad, God willing, today we will eat bread like the bread of the past,” his eldest daughter, Razan, added. His two-and-a-half-year-old son, Hayyan, simply placed a hand over his rumbling stomach. Hamza’s wife, Kawthar, was now nine months pregnant.

The baby arrived on the evening of February 16th. Hamza walked with Kawthar and her mother from his in-laws’ home to Kamal Adwan Hospital, in our home town, Beit Lahia. They were terrified, Hamza told me, because they could hear drones and warplanes and see the distant lights of air strikes. Only two months earlier, Israeli forces had raided the hospital and the World Health Organization had deemed it no longer functional.

They reached the hospital at about 9 P.M. , but they couldn’t find a doctor. Instead, a nurse joined them in a windowless room that was running low on blankets. “Kawthar gave birth while bombs were falling all around us,” Hamza told me. After ten tense minutes, their new son, Ali, was born.

Hamza told me that the hospital had no food to offer Kawthar, and no diapers for Ali. A woman gave them one syringe of milk. Then hospital staff asked them to go home. “Ali continued to cough and vomit for hours after his birth,” Hamza said.

Our brother Mohammad sent his congratulations from a tent in Rafah, the city in southern Gaza that is currently home to more than a million Palestinians. Most of them are, like him, refugees from elsewhere in Gaza. In a voice note, Mohammad told me about his “gift” for his newborn nephew. “I have told Hamza about two sacks of wheat flour in my bombed apartment,” Mohammad said. “I had the feeling that they survived the air strike.”

On February 18th, Hamza shared some good news. “The baby has brought luck to us,” he told me. He had gone back to our destroyed home and found one of the sacks in the rubble. “I have split the sack between me and my parents and sisters, although part of it was spoiled by rainwater,” he said. In the background of our video call, I could see one of our teen-aged cousins digging through stones and glass with his bare hands, looking for the second sack. A few days later, Hamza wrote on social media that he’d bought his wife a small gift of rice and beef. One plateful of uncooked white rice cost him twenty-five U.S. dollars, he said, and a fist-size heap of raw beef cost a shocking seventy dollars.

U.N. agencies no longer dare to send aid trucks north. In early February, CNN reported that Israeli forces had fired on an UNRWA food truck in central Gaza, prompting the agency to halt deliveries to the north. Last weekend, the W.F.P. resumed its own deliveries, but desperate people crowded its trucks; later, people took food and beat one of its drivers. Its convoys have now been halted again for safety reasons. “The decision to pause deliveries to the north of the Gaza Strip has not been taken lightly, as we know it means the situation there will deteriorate further and more people risk dying of hunger,” the W.F.P. said . “Gaza is hanging by a thread.”

A few days ago, I sat with my wife, Maram, in the back yard of our apartment in Cairo, watching sprinklers water the grass. Our youngest child, Mostafa, was playing on a swing while his siblings were at school. “The sprinklers remind me of my family’s farm,” Maram told me. “My dad and uncles and cousins used to water the strawberry plants and cornstalks.”

I thought of times when I picked strawberries and corn from her family’s fields. We barbecued the corn under a grapevine at night. I still have photographs of the harvest. But, this year, there may not be any strawberries or corn to pick. When Maram and I look into each other’s eyes, we both see sadness.

This past Monday, an ear doctor who treated me in Gaza, Bahaa al-Ashqar, managed to cross into Egypt through the Rafah border. I woke up to a call from him at one o’clock in the morning, and two hours later a taxi dropped him off at our apartment.

I was overjoyed that Dr. Bahaa was still alive. We hugged. But, as I stared at him, I saw how thin and weak he looked. This is not the doctor I used to know, I thought. He had lost thirty-seven pounds since the start of the war. In Rafah, he’d survived on canned food.

Dr. Bahaa had been on a long journey, and I felt like I should help him with his things, but all he had was a backpack. It was mostly full of travel documents. Still, he had managed to ferry a few small gifts from my brother Mohammad, for Maram and me. He unpacked barbecue and shawarma spices that we couldn’t find in Egypt, along with a bottle of dark-green Palestinian olive oil. When I smelled them, I felt a wave of love for my brother.

In the morning, Maram cooked tomatoes and fried some eggs. Dr. Bahaa told us that it was his first normal breakfast in months. We dipped bread and feta into the olive oil. It smelled of the trees that grew the olives, and it tasted like Gaza.

Dr. Bahaa spent the day trying to repair his phone and prepare for his onward journey. His wife and children, who escaped Gaza early in the war, were waiting for him in Europe. In the evening, he returned to our apartment for a meal of chicken and rice.

Over dinner, my children dropped some grains of rice on the floor. Dr. Bahaa didn’t want us to throw them away. “Pick them up and put them on my plate,” he told the kids. “I’ll eat them.” We had to convince him that there was no need. We have plenty of fresh rice, we said. But we could not stop him from wiping his plate clean. He understood that, in Gaza, this food could save a person’s life. ♦

My school has classes from LKG to 12 and each class has three sections. The school starts at 7:50 A.M. with a prayer session in which we sing various hymns. The prayer session is concluded with the reading of the news and the thought of the day so that the students can also learn moral values. The last period gets over at 1:40 P.M.

The cultural mosaic.

India, my pride, is a vibrant tapestry of diverse cultures, traditions, and languages. It’s a land where 1.3 billion people coexist harmoniously, encapsulating the essence of unity in diversity. This cultural mosaic is not just an abstract concept, but a tangible reality that shapes the Indian ethos.

India’s historical grandeur is another source of pride. The architectural marvels, from the ancient Indus Valley Civilization to Mughal monuments like the Taj Mahal, reflect a rich historical legacy. These timeless relics are a testament to India’s technological prowess and aesthetic sensibilities.

Scientific and Technological Advancements

In the realm of science and technology, India has made significant strides. The successful Mars Orbiter Mission by ISRO, affordable healthcare solutions, and digital innovations are milestones that underscore India’s scientific temperament. These advancements have not only brought global recognition but also improved the lives of millions.

The pride of being an Indian is not just about its glorious past, but also about its promising future.

Historical Significance

India’s history is a testament to its resilience and strength. The civilization that flourished along the banks of the Indus River in 2500 BCE stands as a testament to India’s advanced societal structures and scientific advancements. The Mauryan and Gupta Empires, which are often referred to as the ‘Golden Age of India’, were periods of significant intellectual and artistic development. Moreover, the Indian freedom struggle marked by non-violent resistance led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi, continues to inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

Cultural Diversity

The cultural diversity of India is one of its most distinctive features. With over two thousand distinct ethnic groups and more than 1600 spoken languages, India’s culture is a colorful mosaic of diverse traditions and customs. Each region in India has its unique dance form, music, cuisine, and art, all of which contribute to the country’s cultural richness. This unity in diversity is a source of immense pride and forms the essence of India.

Scientific and Technological Achievements

India’s contributions to science and technology have been noteworthy. From the ancient times of Aryabhata, who introduced the world to zero, to the contemporary achievements in space technology, India has always been at the forefront of scientific advancements. The successful launch of Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) by ISRO, a feat achieved by very few countries, is a shining example of India’s technological prowess.

Economic Potential

India, currently the world’s fifth-largest economy, is rapidly emerging as a global economic powerhouse. With a young and dynamic workforce, India is poised to become a significant player in the global economic landscape. The nation’s strides in sectors such as Information Technology, telecommunications, textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, steel, and aerospace signify a promising future.

Spiritual Legacy

India is often referred to as the ‘Land of Spirituality’. The birthplace of religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, India has been a spiritual guide to the world. The teachings of peace, karma, dharma, and non-violence originating from India have influenced millions globally.

In conclusion, India’s diverse culture, rich history, scientific achievements, economic potential, and spiritual legacy make it a country of pride. While challenges persist, the spirit of India lies in its ability to adapt, evolve, and grow. As we move forward, India’s journey as a nation continues to be a source of inspiration and pride for its people.
