My Family

2 lone parent families: unfortunately 2 years ago my parents divorced and now live on their own.

Housing is very expensive in mississauga/ toronto

My parents both provide for my family and spend money accordingly.

My parents met right after high school who both came from two different world and different takes on life

Children taking on adult roles

My mom prepares my sister and I for the future by giving us roles and chores. for example every weekend we clean and do laundry, every Friday I clean the bathrooms and my room, sometimes I babysit my sister when my mom goes out and get paid for it.

by doing chores I receive money and save. I like to spend money on clothes, food, and fun activities. I now can treat myself every now and then while still being rational.

When I was younger i would always ask for a younger brother or sister so finally when I was 9 and half my parents had my little sister Jordelle who is now 6 years old.

No matter what at the end of the day I am happy that i have good supportive parents. even though they aren't together anymore, they both are always by my side for example when I wanted to audition for Cawthra Park S.S. for drama program, without their support I wouldn't have gotten in. they always show their love and support through all my extracurricular's like outdoor soccer, art and singing lessons.

My parents always made sure I has food to eat, clothes to wear and provided a shelter. Since I was one of the first born kids in my family, Id say a community helped raise me with love and care.

From a young age, my parents have always taught me right from wrong. As I began to grow up they slowly hanged back and let me be more independent and learn from my mistakes. Once my sister came, I acted as a role model and now tell her dos and donts
