Having a younger brother with a disability shaped my family’s viewpoints on inclusion, accessibility, bullying, medical decisions, etc. ad an individual, my lived experience of having a brother with a disability has shaped me into the person I am and has inspired me to enter the healthcare field as my field of study/future career.

Grew up with lots of strong female figures in my family who are kind, ambitious, and hard working!

3 out of the 4 of my mom’s siblings all live within 3 miles of each other with her parents living 0.5 miles away from my family. This has allowed my family to become very close to each other as we constantly see each other.

One thing that affects my family a lot is the fact that my parents grew up poor. We are now upper middle class because my parents worked really hard to create a life for their kids that they didn’t have themselves and I think that has caused my family to be really grateful with each other and also we tend to splurge a lot on vacations and other experiences

1) military family

2) parents not from same hometown as children

3) 3 siblings and 2 parents, splitting time to go to activities gets a little difficult (especially as kids get older)

My oldest sister having an intellectual disability contributed to how myself and my other sister were brought up. My parents sort of positioned my oldest sister as a “lost cause” while putting pressure on us to “do better”

Having immigrant parents while being born and raised in America

I am an only child, which has been great because I am extremely close with my parents. However, as I got older I feel like my need to be around people my own age has gotten stronger. Therefore, I chose to go to college far away from home. Being away from home now definitely makes me appreciate my parents and how they raised me. Additionally, it makes me more grateful to come home.

Most of my mom's side of the family had a pretty similar way of thinking. They are very religious however are also very liberal, socialists. Although one of my uncles uses his religion to justify being harshly right winged. I think him moving to another county with a new language and not having friends pushed him further into that narrative.

having a lot of extended family live very close together, also having similar values and beliefs

My family has moved around a lot (we have lived in different countries) which caused me to attend multiple different schools. However, moving around so much has made my family very adaptable and knowledgeable about different curriculums, cultures, and norms making us more curious and respectful when interacting with people who come from different background than us.

Moving around a lot when I was younger made it hard to create deep relationships with other families. But it also helped us learn how to connect with others and adapt to new environments in short amounts of time.

My grandparents on both sides lived very close to my home growing up which influenced me a lot because their views along with my own families were so conflicting
