My family's life

Many years ago my family’s life was very difficult in many ways. As I look back over the years, I see that my family always has struggled. My parents are uneducated and it is hard for them to provide everything for the family’s needs. My mom and dad have seven kids including me. Our life is not that easy because we are so many in the family and only my dad can support us. During that time my dad was the only one who had a job. He was the only one to help us even though his salary was not good enough to cover our needs, but he still wanted us not to feel how we struggled. My dad’s goal was for us to complete our education. During that time five of us were attending school: my brother was in high school and four of us were in middle and elementary school. While we attended school we still had problems getting our taxi fare or things that we needed at school. But one thing that my dad always challenged us to do was try our best without any complains because one day we would have a good life. Sometimes we saw him really exhausted and sick because he worked hard for the family, but did not quit. He knew that if he quit everything would be chaos. There would be no school for us, no food and our family in the future would have the same problems. Now I can see how hard it is to take care of seven of kids at the same time. When I compare our life today, it is very different than our life before. Everything has changed and I know that this has come from the hard work of my father.
