“My Family”
Page 4
Everyone has a family, whether it be small or large, immediate or extended. This is your page to reflect upon your family members.
If you are including only the family members with whom you live, you will need to write a brief paragraph about each person (5 sentences or more). You will also need a picture, drawing, or something that symbolizes this person.
If you are including your extended family, you will make a family tree and write at least 3 paragraphs-one paragraph for whichever family members you choose to write about.
**Living pets may be included for either page.
***You do not have to write about any family member or include any information that you don’t feel comfortable with.
Example (with whom you live):
This is my dad, Don Gibbs. He is a jokster and is never serious! I get my sarcasm from him unfortunately. He works in sales at a security company, kind of like ADT. He lives in Waukesha, Wisconsin, my hometown. He lives in a small, crazy looking blue house that is super ugly. He may joke with me all the time, but I still love him anyway.
This is my mom, Marta Gibbs. We are pretty close, but ever since my parents’ divorce, we’ve become different people. I don’t know what I would do without her. She lives in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. She is a school counselor, currently looking for another job. My mom has 2 awesome dogs, Maddie and Bella. Maddie is the dog we had growing up and she got Bella last year. I love those dogs.
This is my brother, Josh Gibbs. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee and is a manager at a restaurant called Local Taco. They have the best tacos I’ve ever had. We used to fight all the time growing up, but now that we are older, we are the best of friends. I’m pretty protective of him now!!! We don’t keep in touch as often as we should, but he’s the greatest brother anyone can ask for!
Family tree example is on the next page.
Gibbs Family Tree
The Gibbs Family
Donald Gibbs Sr.: This is my grandpa. He lives in Florida. My grandpa has been through a lot in his life. He used to work for the U.S. Coast Guard and has since retired. He has died a few times on the table of the operating room because he has a terrible heart. They’ve done a ton of surgeries to prolong his life and so far, so good. He is an amazing man!
Kristin Gibbs: This is my aunt who married into this crazy family! I grew up idolizing her because she was so cool! She was that hip aunt that everyone loved. She would always give me clothes she didn’t want anymore and I loved how they smelled of her.
Kayla Gibbs: This is the first girl cousin born into the Gibbs family. I would hang out with her all the time. She idolized me like I did with her mom. It’s sad that I don’t live by their family anymore because I wish we could hang out more. I would be that cool cousin who took her to get her nails done and shopping.
