Tonight we had class and it was great! I am so excited to start a knew
project this week to find a cool way to show off my family. I need to
come up with a physical metaphor to explain how the my family works
together as a system. I have two ideas so far which are a bowl of
popcorn or a quad. Those two things are my family to a T. We make home
made popcorn at least 5 nights a week and that is what i grew up doing. A
quad because that is our family sport together. I have been quading my
whole life and that is what we do as a family. I am excited to get
started.

This next week really made me relate to family systems. I really related to the family system example we did in class. We had people stand up in a circle hold hands and the teacher went around saying scenario's and putting on weight on people to have the others help hold them up. I related most to the "mom figure" in the example. The girl tried to hold herself up by herself when the teacher put weight on her. When she finally couldn't hold herself up anymore she let the rest of the "family" help her. I am like that in life. I try to hold things in and be strong and not let other people know I need help but it is better to ask for help.
This blog is for my thoughts and things that I relate to as i go through my family relations class. This first week that really stood out to me was family trends. The biggest one that made me think about was smaller families. It made me think what are really the reasons behind having smaller families. I can relate personally that we had a smaller family due to the fact that my mother could not have more than two kids. That did not stop my parents. Later on my parents adopted two more girls to make our family bigger. I did some digging around and found that people have less kids for reasons like money, time, and effort. It was sad to see those things but I guess that's what it has come to these days.
