I grew up in a large family with five siblings and both of my parents. In my household, we taught that the family is essential and worth defending. Similarly, I have been asked to start this blog for a class that I am taking in college right now. The class focuses on the family and what we have learned over the past years about this unit in society. While I will be sharing my thoughts and insights from my class, I will also be sharing experiences and thoughts from my own life.
