Conflicts in Families

For starters, I have noticed have families have interacted with each other during conflicts. It's not just a simple petty little things parents have a problem with. But it's about what might effect them on the long run when the father or mother decides to do what's best for the family. What exactly is the best decision? Well, you won't know unless you act and found out. My Family made the decision for me to live in the States. As people may know me, I grew up in Vietnam until I was seven years old. Moving to San Antonio Texas and has lived there for over sixteen years. I've taken upon myself to talk to my parents about why we even decided to even move at all. Back in Vietnam I remembered being really happy with what I had. Friends, family members, food, and many other things I personally enjoyed. Nonetheless, my parents and I packed up and headed straight to America without me knowing why. Come to find out, my uncle sponsored half of the family to live in the states. Which is amazing, despite that we don't get along at all. Although this may be true, I recently understand why he's the person I know today. He has had quite an interesting upbringing, considering how he escaped Vietnam. Started with him falling in love with the next door neighbor's girl. I don't know much of the detail, but he was seriously in love with her as a kid. At one point, the girl's family decided to escape Vietnam to go to America. Being close with the family, my uncle was offered by her family to escape with them to go. Situation got out of hand and my grandmother did not know and truly believed that her son was kidnapped by the neighbor to go to Vietnam. Funny that it was all his choice to follow to in hoping to marry the woman of his dream. Unfortunately, the girl now woman, did not feel the same way about my uncle. She thought that he was only a good friend, showing up in almost every picture they took together wasn't gonna seal the deal. She eventually decided to marry someone older than him. Needless to say, he was very much heartbroken with the matter. Following her from the beginning was never seen as a risk to him. So believe it or not, he still had faith. He eventually decided to live in New York to find new ways to continue his life. Worked in a Japanese restaurant for two years and people thought that he was Japanese. Until one miraculous news come running to him. Turns out the marriage did not work out due to the husband's abusive actions. Without a second thought, my uncle rushed to her side and quote, "seduced her." Not too long after that they got married and had two more kids with the one from the past marriage. Which are my cousins who I dearly love. The next five years, my uncle was able to sponsored my family then. I've had interactions with my uncle before in the past, but I never knew what he had to go through in order for me to be in the States. All in all, he had the courage and faith to follow his dreams to sacrificed many things for happiness. His actions humbled me enough to be grateful for him. There are times when we do n

 get along, but I do have huge respect for the man. Learning history of a loved one actions has been eye opening. There's no substitute for the blessings that's been bestowed upon me and my family. My uncle took those hard steps, and I'm willing to be an example for the future generation as well.
