Emma's Students Stories, Family by Candy

Family is important to me. I am important to my family, too. Every member is important to their family. People give love to their family, and their family warmly gives love in return. I love my family, because I have a good relationship with them. They love me too! I like my family more than my friends. Friends are important, but I think family is more important to me. The people in my family have always taken care of me. When I was younger, my friends were too young to do that. I get along well with all of my family members. We have big family get-togethers at least twice a year. There are thirty-five members in my family. It's a really big family.
