After going to college a few years ago I really noticed how important my family was to me. The first year I didn’t miss them at all as I met new people, made new friends, and joined so many clubs I didn’t have time to breathe. After my rebellious new student phase where I wanted to be on my own and answer to no one I began to miss my Dad. Not just my Dad but also my aunts, uncles, grandparents, and even my little sister.

All I can say is thank goodness for the invention of internet satellite because in just seconds we can begin an entire conversation online. Whether utilizing social media websites, chats, or just sending e-mails I can keep them updated on my life and get the skinny on theirs. I found out that as my little sister got older I actually had fun talking to her. She was surprised to find out how much older and wiser her big sister is. She recently moved to Romania to get married, crazy I know! I can still keep in touch with her via hughes net in houston. When you say you can’t wait to go to college to get away from your family, just know you’ll soon be taking that back.
