Family

What is a family? Is it something that people can go hind behind when they are scared. Is family a system of friends that are always there for you? I have many family members, I have aunts and uncles that are really in now way related to me. I have brothers and sisters that are also in no way related to me. But the family that is always there for me when I need them are the family members in my immediate family. During my first semester of college, I had to make huge choices about payment plans. I had so much money in my account at the bank, and the school was asking more than what i had. So, what happened, well, my uncle, said he would pay off a loan that would cover my first semester of college. It was great, I am not happy that i had to take that loan, but, I am happy that I have family to back me up all the way. That is what a family is. It is one big body, that shares burdens so that one limb does not die off.
