Why family is important to me:

Family is the single most important influence in a child's life.Making time for family members, communicating effectively and supporting each other are important ways to strengthen families and build positive relationships.Families are important because they provide us with love, laughter and a sense of community. Your family understands your habits and knows the trials that you have been through throughout your life.
