To start I would like to introduce and explain the family setting that I have come from. I come from a very close four person family. I have a younger brother named Justin (17). He will be graduating this year from Hilltop High School in Whitecourt. He is very involved in hockey during the winter and golf during the summer. My parents are still together 19 years. My mom and I are best friends; we are very open and honest with each other. She has been doing payroll at ANC (Alberta Newsprint Company) for about 3 years. My dad and I are also very close. We have the same personality, joke around lots and get along very well. He has been a plant operator at Pengrowth for as long as I know. My auntie is the most influential person in my life. She had a big part in raising me when I was a child and instilling morals in my life. She babysat me when I was very little and grew into a somewhat second mother to me. I am also very involved in my grandparent’s lives. My family is the most important part of my life.
Because I had lived in this “typical” family, I hope to get a better understanding of the other types of family’s my future students might be immersed in. I personally don’t know what it would feel like to be in a broken family, have a teen mom or same-sexed parents. I know with the times today this is the family many children will be born into and having a better understanding of this will make me a better teacher and a more understanding person in general. This class will greatly influence my abilities of being a teacher.
