Inspiration is a funny thing. This past Monday, I was inspired. We had the blessing of having a real life survivor of the Holocaust visit OHS and share his story with us. If there was one thing I learned from his speech was the importance of family.
I come from a family of strong hearted Itallians, who are often very hot headed. My grandparents use scheming to pull people from our family apart and keep themselves in the middle of the attention. In fact, my dad has not talked to two of his brothers for nearly five years now.
It's sad to think that that part of our family is completly gone, even if they are their physically. I invited them to my graduation hoping that they would all come together for a greater cause, only to see no reply. I wounder how long this feud will go on.
Being in a family of six, I admit that I don't have the best relationship with all my siblings. My sister Christina, just came home from Italy, and all I could was yell at her for wearing my favorite shirt.
The inspiring speech taught be not to be so materialistic and more rely on relationships with people instead of silly things like shirts. I plan on really trying to fix things with my sister instead of picking little fights. Maybe my parents will learn from me as well .
