Journal #1:

How are you alike/unlike your family members?

—How has your family influenced your life?

—What knowledge and skills have you gained from your family that you use outside of your family life?

—In what ways does your family make a positive difference in your life?

—Imagine yourself 20 years from now. Where do you think you will live? What relationships do you expect to have then? In many cases, your family ties may be the only relationships in common between present and future. How would you feel if this were the case for you?
