Relationship Reflection Relationships are important to me because they help to validate me and motivate me grow and achieve my goals. I am also given the opportunity to express what I feel with those significant others. Caring for others motivates me to work as hard as I do. They push me to overcome obstacles and take on challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming. My Family/i>.
My relationship with my family is very important to me. They have inspired me to be the the person that I am today. The values that are upheld are passed on to the younger generation both implicitly and explicitly. These include values of integrity, education, respect, etc. Today I hold these values very dear and I plan to pass them on to my children. Sister/Sister My sister Esther is one of the warmest persons you will ever meet. Her calm personality helps to cushion my feisty over the top own. We relate easily to each other.She is my best friend. We are just three years apart so we are able to talk about almost anything. My Friends Though I could not find a photo of the us altogether I must include them in this reflection. They are warm and loving and they help to keep me grounded. Most of them are Christians so we encourage each other to keep the faith in God alive and to make decisions that are most beneficial to us. Keeping partnerships going requires open communication and trust. I think that without these qualities they will not last.

  1. Hello Nicola!
    I really enjoyed reading your relationship reflection! I feel the same way about my family. They mean EVERYTHING to me. I believe deep down in my heart that I am the way I am today because of them. My closest relationships are with my parents, sisters, husband, and my daughter. I like how you discussed how you and your friends encourage each other to keep the faith and stick to your beliefs as Christians. Very inspiring! Great post!!!

  2. Hi Nicola,

    I love the photo of you and your family praying together. I think that is so important an needed for guidance and direction in life. Prayer also helps develop bonds too. I like the photo of you an your sister as well. I have two sisters and we are very close.

    1. Hi Alycia,
      We were not praying. We were playing a game at a family fun day.

  3. Nicola,

    They photos of your family really added to your post. Thanks for sharing them! I feel that same way about my family. I would not know what to do without my family in my life. I like how you added in about your friends. I think it's important to have a balance between family and friends and it seems like you do. I am happy for you to have so many positive relationships/ partnerships in your life supporting all you do.
