So i'm suppose to write this essay about family values and give examples to convey my experience with family. While reading the requirements and details, it says that family can consist of extended family members and friends. Now, if you all know me, you know I always value friendship as much as I value family. So here is where the internal problem arises: Is it wrong for me to write about friends instead of my family. Though in my family there is everlasting love and care, why do I choose to write about friends? I think the reason is because friendship implies effort, trust, and growth as two unrelated people start to sacrifice a little bit of their life for each other. Whereas the love from family is obvious and therefore often underestimated. Yea its true, I do undervalue my family, but my love for them is always going to be there. Maybe the true reason is because with friends, I get to care for them without asking for care in return. But when I do meet people who care for me as much as I care for them, I then acknowledge them as my family. I guess now I can use the words best friend and family interchangeably. So here I go, writing an essay about my family and providing a descriptive reflection on how they have shaped my life.
P.S. This isn't homework, it's for an essay contest that caught my attention.
