I love my family because They are nice to me and we have fun together.  We go to Family Fun Center and I get to play “Hide and Seek” in the tunnels with my brothers.  I love it when we play baseball outside.  I love it a lot because it’s my favorite sport.  My family always cheers me on.  After we’re done, Daddy gets us slurpees.

 

I also love to make cookies with my mama because they are my favorite thing to eat.  I love my family because God gave me to them.  I love to cuddle with my brothers. My family loves me because I’m special.

I am fortunate to be blessed with a wonderful family.  I have very loving and compassionate parents, plus a terrific little brother.  My parents are involved in my life.  They contribute much of their time to help me.  At school, they communicate with my teachers and volunteer their time.  When it comes to my hobbies, they support me and make many sacrifices so I am able to participate.  My parents encourage me to do my best and keep a positive attitude.  They remind me to have good morals and to choose my friends wisely.  My brother is my best friend.  He looks up to me and we take care of each other.  My family is the one lace I know I am accepted and loved for who I am.  I wil always have so many cherished memories to remind me of why I love my family. 

 

2nd place

Tariq Destin

Combee Elementary

4^th grade

 

There are three reasons my family is important to me.  They are loyal, helpful and protective.  My family is great.

 

To begin with, my family is very protective.  They try their hardest to keep me s afe from all kinds of dangerous things and people.  I can’t imagine them not protecting me.

 

My family is also helpful and respectful to each other. They also help others  who are lost or hurt. My grandparents watch my brothers and me when Mom’s at work.  My mother can always count on them for anything we need.

 

Loyalty is important to my family. They are always loyal and expect people to be loyal to them.  Loyalty brings great things to you!

 

My family is very important to me.  They are loyal, helpful and they protect me.  They are the best family ever.  They are as important to me as a bone is to a dog.

5^th grade

 

My family is top of the charts.  They give me what I need to succeed. They encourage me to do my best as I grow in front of their eyes. They’re there for me whenever I need them.

 

They push me to never give up, like when I was first learning to20ride my bike with no training wheels.  I was a three year old Evil Knieval flying up and back down my driveway. Now I’m ten and I am jumping ten foot from ramp to ramp on a bike.  The blue mongoose trick bike is definitely made for me.  And I;m so glad my family bought it for me.

 

I can remember when I was just six years old playing for the Little Monsters soccer team at Duff Park. I wasn’t very experienced then, but I knew how to kick a ball and that’s all that mattered to my mom and dad.  There were no tryouts or any of that stuff we do now.  We seemed like a bunch of ants just running around like crazy, all scrambling for one piece of food, which was the ball.  All our moms and dads were cheering us on.  We were paranas attacking the ball like a dead piece of meat in the water.  We’d kick it as if we had nothing better to do. 

 

Through all the many times we’ve spent together, I now know that out of all the other families in the world, mine is the best.  Through the years of coloring on the walls to learning about ancient history in school, my family has always been there for me.
