Essay: "My Family"

I have a family of 11 brothers and sisters. Now, in this family of mine I'm second to the youngest. I love everyone in my family. This is not to say that I love everything that they say are do... that's what's so great about family. They love you no matter what, through thick and thin. Some may be hard on you because they see the good in you that you don't, but having a family is like having 11 friends. Eleven very good friends who you can always count on to let you know you are out of line or that you're wrong when you think you're right.

You can always count on your family when you are down and out because someone will pick you up, dust you off, and put you on the right path. But most of all, it is the love and understanding I get from me family while doing this time. "You see, my family is also doing this time with me in the mental sense of the form." They also keep me focused and thinking positive thoughts. They alone keep me from going crazy in this madhouse they call a prison system.
