Family

I have many families. I have my real family that I live with, and I have my football, basketball, and baseball family. These are not a real family in the sense that most people would consider. Our football coach preaches that our team is a family. Just like a real family, we should all look after each other. I think we do a good job of this. Even though my other coaches do not preach the philosophy of "family" like the football coach does, I think that we still do this in the other sports. We all look after each other and make sure everyone is doing what they need to do. My real family is obviously the most important to me. I do not really have a very big family. I have 2 aunts and one uncle. My dad has one brother, and my mom has two sisters. I have five cousins total. One on my dad's side, and four on my mother's side of the family. All of my close family lives pretty close to Springfield. My grandparents on my dad's side live in Springfield and my grandparents on my mom's side live in Ashland. My uncle lives near Peoria. He lives the farthest away out of anyone in my close family. My family is very fun and easy to get along with. My uncle is one of the funniest people that I know. It is not a very big family, but I like it this way. I do not think that I would enjoy having a very big family. I think mine is good the way that it is. My family is very important to me. Many people consider family to be one of the most important things in their lives. I guess I would have to agree with this statement. Your family is always there for you in good or bad times. I do not know what I would do without my family. They do a lot for me, and I do not know how I could function without them.
