Part 2
...we make an effort to share a peaceful moment during the meal.
We all are trying to have a conversation. I’m asked about my day at school, and we enjoy listening to each other for a few moments. Suddenly, I realise that it doesn’t matter how often or how much we fight. I know that my family cares about me.
This is my last year at school and I am looking forward to going to college. I think that my family and I will get along better when we don’t have to be together every day. And, besides, I know I’ll always come home. It’s pleasant to know that no matter what happens in the family or how much we argue, there are at least four people I can always rely on.
...we attempt to share a peaceful moment around the table.
We eat and try to have a conversation. My parents ask about my day at school, and for a few moments we actually enjoy listening to each other. It's at this time that I realise that no matter how much we fight, my family will always care about me. But I am looking forward to going to university. Maybe my family and I will get along better when we don't have to be together every day. I do know, however, that despite all of the arguments, I'll always come home. No matter what happens or how much we row, I know there are at least four people I can always rely on.
