Family Values

My family values are many things because my family likes to do certain things, like travel. We like to travel because this is what we like to do. My family loves to try out new things. Another thing is music they like listening to music. Because when I'm in a bad mood all I do is put on some music and it calms me down.

Another family value is Education

Because they want my brother, sister and me to have a good life and have a good job opportunities. My parents already have a college education they want us to attend. So when we finish college we will be able to land better paying jobs.

And one more family value is religion

My family most important value is religion. We attend church every Sunday and pray for others. We also help those who are in need and less fortunate than us by donating money, clothes, books etc.

Another family value is sports.

So I can learn the value of teamwork and sportsmanship. My entire family likes to go swimming and play tennis. My favorite sport is basketball and football. Playing sports allow me to learn good sportsmanship with my friends.
