"I am the youngest in my family and live with my parents and my older sister. We all get along really well, and I look up to my sister a lot. She is studying at university, and I often ask her for advice on my schoolwork. My parents are very supportive of both of us, and they make sure we have everything we need to succeed.
Family gatherings are a big deal in our home. Every Sunday, we have a big family dinner where we share stories and discuss our week. My grandparents live nearby, so they often join us, and I love spending time with them, listening to their stories from the past.
Respect for elders is a core value in our family, and we always try to help each other out. Even though my sister and I are busy with school and university, we make it a point to spend quality time together. It’s important for us to keep our family bond strong."
