IT’S YOUR FUTURE

Personally, I grew up as the middle child and at times felt neglected and
ignored. I often struggled in my family to feel like I even mattered to
my family. As a child I was jealous and said hurtful things to my siblings because I wanted to gain attention. I acted out at school to get attention. I wasted valuable time hurting my family instead of building
up my family. It was only when I got older that I began to appreciate
my siblings, and my parents.
My family had tremendous challenges. We were on welfare for a period
of time and had many hardships to overcome. You may feel like I did.
Or maybe you feel that you got stuck in a horrible family. Allow me
to encourage you. You may not see the benefit of your family, but I can
guarantee there is someone in the world worse off than you. I would not
trade anything for the things that I gained from learning how to work
with my family. I love my Father and Mother greatly. I love my sister
and my brother very much.
