Family is supposed to have your back,
Family is supposed to know you,
There are supposed to be no secrets with family,
There are supposed to be no lies with family,
Family is supposed to love each other unconditionally,
Family is supposed to be there for you,
There is supposed to be understanding in a family,
There is supposed to be trust in a family,
Family is supposed to be there for you,
Family is supposed to understand.

What I really like about this poem is it really tells about the importance of family and talks about what a real family bond is. It tells about your family having your back no matter what and talking about if you tell your family something, that they will never turn their back on you or ever tell anyone about it. This poem really reaches out to any family and it really speaks to the heart. That’s what I really like about this poem.

When I was little I just couldn’t do without my baby blanket.
It was the most beautiful thing IU had ever seen. It was silky and soft and good smelling blanket for sure. My great grandmother had made it for me right before she died so it was very special to me.
It had blue,green,red, and yellow bears on it and they all had blue and green bows on the bears.
While I had it, I would name each of the bears and then rename them the next day.
That’s why it was so special… because it was made out of love and care for me by my great grandmother.
Without it, I would have never fallen asleep or never stopped crying!

It was in that moment, the moment when gravity took full control of me and thrusts me to the ground that I thought to myself, “What have I done?”….
I look up to see the world spinning in circles and when the world suddenly stops spinning, I see faces above me asking me questions like, “Are you okay?” “Can you feel everything?” and then all of a sudden I was overwhelmed with questions and it was like a million tiny voices in my head yelling and screaming at me. Then someone said, very loudly, “EVERYBODY STOP TALKING!” It started to get quieter and soon subsided so that you could hear a pin drop from anywhere in the gym. Then someone came over to me and asked me, “Do you know who I am?” I squinted and readjusted my eyes and I could vaguely make out the face of Gretchen, the owner of the gym. I tell her that I do know who she is and that I know what my name is and where I am, then she asked me if I knew what had happened to me, and I couldn’t remember exactly what happened. “All I remember was that I was doing a full (a flip) and then I stopped spinning and I hit the ground then I woke up here and you all were standing above me.”
I asked them what had happened to me and they started to tell me that I was doing a full and for some reason I just stopped twisting out of nowhere. My coach tried to help me not hit the ground but he just couldn’t get there fast enough to save me and I fell full speed flat into my back and then I blacked out. Gretchen told me that she saw me doing the flip and she said she didn’t think I was trying as hard as I usually do. I told her that was probably true because I was just so sore and so tired that I probably just gave up half way through it. POW! A shot of pain goes straight up my spine and into my neck! I rolled over onto my stomach hoping that that would release some of the pain but it only made the pain worse. I asked Gretchen if I could have some Advil® or Motrin® and she said she go look up at the front to see if she can find some for me. My mom walks through the door and she rushes to my side and asks me if I’m okay and I tell her that I’ll stay alive and live through it.
I think that this mistake taught me that me that I need to always try my hardest at whatever I do. I think that the moment I realized I was falling is the moment when I realized that I should’ve tried harder and not given up. The lesson I can take away from this is that no matter how tired I am or sore I am that I can never give up becuase if I give up I’m giving up on my self and the well being of myself.
