The Best Family

Even though my family is HUGE we are all really close! Growing up I always had someone to play with, and someone to get in trouble with. Now that I am older, I always have someone to get advise from. It is great. I mean sure, we have our fights but we always know that we will be fine again soon. I guess the reason behind why we are all so close stems from the fact that my parents are amazing, and also, because of our religion we have always had guidelines that keep us all on the straight and narrow. Because of our morals and our amazing upbringing, my family have always really valued each other. We see both the strengths and weaknesses in each other and we are always there we are needed. I have 13 best friends and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Because of my amazing background I feel that I have the right to say this. If you have a family big or small, or if you are just starting one, my advise is this. If you wish to be truely happy, make your family your main priority. Spend time with them. Get to know them. Figure out what you can do to make them happy. Nothing is more important in your life then the people that you share it with. It has often been said that money is not what brings happiness. I do not feel that anything could be more true. It is important that your family is provided for, but time can always be found for family.

Getting Started

Getting started pretty much describes my life. I am working on my last year of college and getting ready to finally begin my independent life. I come from a large family and a very small town. Because of this I have never lead a very independent life. I have always had someone that I could turn to if I ever was having a problem.
Now, as I am getting closer to the end of my college life, I am looking at what my life will be like as my own boss. I will be the one making my decisions, and let me just say, I am SCARED! I mean, I have always had the power to make my own choices. I just never wanted to so I did it as little as possible. As I entire the point in my life that I have to do these thing I ponder, Am I ready? Am I going to make the right choices? Will I have the confidence I need? I guess these are all things that I will find out. Hopefully, I will like the answers!
