My Family
My immediate family consists only of myself and my parents. Many people ask me if it is horrible being an only child, but I have to say that most of the time I thoroughly enjoy it. There is a lot of privacy, no younger or older siblings to annoy you and you get more presents during the holidays. My parents own their own business, a market research firm. I find their job to be very boring for the most part, but once in a while they come across an interesting project. My dad is practically a historian. He always has his nose in a book, usually something regarding World War II or else a political treatise of some sort. My mom is also an avid reader, but not nearly as much as my dad. She is very involved in the arts, which is unfortunate because our tastes differ so much. She loves abstract art while I maintain that it is simply people who can’t draw looking to make money through some sort of alleged deeper meaning in the piece. I have only one grandparent, my grandmother on my mother’s side. I also have an aunt and two uncles, however I do not see any of these relatives very often because they live in different states, some in Oregon, others in New York.
Cheers,
Halsey
