MY CONTEST ENTRY

What family means to me!

Have you ever been in a lovely and beautiful family?? Well, I have and it's wonderful .... Family means a lot to me because without a family, it is hard to survive.. I lived without a complete family and it was hard for me to cope with my education... My mom had us from different fathers, so she was a single mother. I had to start depending on myself and doing jobs to survive,, I never enjoyed the love and peace of a complete family until I got married and had my own wonderful family.

Can two families be the same?

Two families can not be the same.. Cause every family is unique in their own way.. Most families are peaceful and happy.. While most families are are unhappy and are always fighting or shouting at each other.... Yes! Everyone has issues with one another once in a while and it's common,, but most families are struggling in the terms of love for one another. Every woman has two main families,,,My reason for that statement is that a man takes his father's name (surname)... But a lady leaves her father's name once she's married,,, judging from this,,, a woman has two families, so she can tell that two families are not the same.... Like I mentioned earlier, my family before I got married was really a tough one and I had to start doing hard jobs at a tender age... Not until I got married, I began to enjoy family happiness and peace... So, two families cannot be the same.

I currently belong to a wonderful family and it's a nice feeling knowing you have a peaceful family full of life in them.
My family is an ideal family, Although we do have issues at times, but it's common in all families.. We all have ups and downs in our lives,,. We may not be as rich as other family but at least,, we have enough for the necessary things of life,, cause the number one thing that causes problem/issues in the family is money. If the man of the house does not work hard enough to provide fees, feeding and clothing money, it brings unnecessary drama in the family.

Ways I think the family can be improved

Families can be improved in so many ways, it depends on the the situation of the family's way of living,,,, In most families, the woman may have trust issues,,, people must have something to say,,,, it's not always the woman's fault,,,. If a woman is having trust issues in her family,, even if the man is not doing anything wrong, of course, we all have curiosity and sometimes our curiosity can lead us into knowing things that we are not supposed to know,, my advice about this matter of no trust,,,. As the man of the house, try to keep your mental balance in check and avoid situations that will lead you to beating your wife. As for the woman, avoid friends that give you the wrong advice, cause the main reason for divorce now, are the jealous friends who you keep and ends up tearing your family apart.

The advice I would like give to families......!

Never give up on your home,, this advice goes to the men and mostly the women.. There are some situations whereby the men tends to runaway from their home due to lack of enough money for school fees,,, sometimes when the man of the house run away, the woman leaves her children in the streets and runs away which renders the children homeless and no other option than to beg or start hawking in the streets... My advice on this matter is,,,, no matter the situation of your family, never give up. Strive for your children's sake, no one wishes for bad Luck, everyone has their time to be happy and sad.. So, no condition should make you render your children homeless.

The most important thing I want to say now...

Be happy in your family no matter the things you're passing through.
Always remember there is a better tomorrow.
Show each other love.
Whenever you're sad about what you're lacking in your family, remember that most families have nothing and say to yourself,, if they can survive, we can do better
