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.
