Families are always an essential part of one’s life. Some has nuclear family also known as elementary family consisting of parents and their children while some has joint family consisting of grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts and their children.I live in a joint family. We are 7 family members including my grandparents, parents, one sister and one uncle. I am really blessed to be born in such an amazing and huge family.
My Grandfather is a retired government employee and my grandmother is a retired teacher. My Uncle is a doctor. My Dad work at a private company and my mother is also a teacher. My sister is doing her post-graduation.
Since childhood I have always spent more time with my grandparents as my both parents and my uncle has been in the workforce. They took care of me and also played with me. My Grandmother is my best friend, and I can share everything with her which I can not even tell my parents. She always understands me and supports me. Even when I am wrong, she corrects me, rectifies my mistakes and does not scold me at all. Even now, every night she tells stories to me and my sister and that is our favourite time in a day.
Both my sister and I go to a nearby college which is one of the best colleges in our city. I never had many problems in studies because my mother is teacher herself and she is the one who teaches both my sister and me. My grandmother also helped me in my projects sometimes when I was in school giving brilliant and creative ideas. And now also I don’t have many problem in my study as I am doing graduation in English Honours and my sister’s stream was also English Honours.

We also celebrate all the festivals like Holi, Diwali, Durga Puja, Christmas, Rakhi together. And sometimes we also visit our cousin’s place to celebrate the festivals with them. I celebrate Rakhi with my sister since I was a kid. It was taught by my dad. All my friends celebrated Rakhi with their brother, and I used to feel bad and that’s when dad taught me to celebrate Rakhi with my sister which I believe is a very good lesson taught by him to us. As Rakhi is not only about brother protecting their sister but siblings and cousins protecting, loving and respecting each other. We all are same and we all love our siblings and cousins equally. We enjoy a lot during festivals which is why we love festivals a lot.
We also have tea evening where we all gather leaving all our work no matter how important that work is as family is very precious and is our priority. We invite our cousins, friends and other relatives. Enjoy our tea time and also do other fun activities. Some presents a beautiful dance performance, some sing, some perform even perform recitation and share our talents and passions which is so beautiful to hear and it is always a beautiful evening.
Both my parents sacrifice a lot for my happiness. They always think about me first and then about others and themselves. They always gave me what I wanted still maintaining the limit so that I don’t get on the bad path and be spoilt. I sometimes don’t have to ask for anything, but they provide me a lot of things which they couldn’t have no matter how difficult it is for them to get me things I need. They give such amazing gifts to me on my birthdays and festivals and sometimes even without any occasion. They are very precious to me. I am so fortunate to have them in my life.
We always have dinner together as we all know the quote “A Family that eats together, stays together. ”If it is not possible for a particular member to eat with us due to work then we wait for the member so that we can eat together.

Before eating we pray to god to bless us, helps us overcome any situation and to maintain the love and respect we have for each other.

I also learnt about patience from them. It does get tough sometimes to deal with our family members but still we love and respect them and maintain our patience. It helps me in the to deal with the world as well. When I used to do group projects or sometimes just for some certain reasons I get angry or loose my calm I try to maintain my patience which is taught to me by my parents. It gave me so much confidence. Without my family and their teaching I could not have been so confident and happy in my life. My mother made me so strong. She taught me that it is okay to fall sometimes and even if we fall we have to stand up on our own feet and move forward.
They will always be there to give me support and push me from behind to move forward but I have to be brave and take a step forward by myself which also made me so confident.

They also taught me that I should never reject what others give me be it a very trivial thing and say bad things about the gifts or things any person give me just because it is not expensive or just trivial thing. Not everyone gets everything so we should respect everyone, everything. And also taught me not to waste any food because there are people who do not get to eat even a little bit.
We are always honest to each other as I was taught to be honest and share everything. And honesty is the best policy. And, this honesty helps me a lot in my life

Family is the best gift we can have.
