Abstract

After understanding the book My Bloody Life and other study materials, I was capable to
have a better comprehending of what a single person faces when it comes to being tangled within
a family. There are certain family based issues that can take a toll on an individual and lead one
to become involved in a gang. Indeed, there are also certain community-based issues that should
be in place, but these are often not there to use to one’s advantage. To investigate, I conducted a
community-based assessment based on Spergel’s Model and other assessment techniques.

My family
Everyone has family, sometimes big and sometimes small, but it’s all same for us. In the
family, we have father, mother, us and sometimes with siblings. Or, if we have a big family, we
will also have our grandfather and grandmother lived with us together. Whatever the family size
like big or small, we have a family, we all have a place we can feel relaxed and we have a place
where in the care of our heart. But today, I just want to talk about “my small family”.
My father is 54 years old now, but he still looks very strong, I always will say he looks
like a bear, not because he looks tall, because he is a little bit fat, but I don’t want him continue
gain weight. It’s not because I think he looks bad or something else, just because we have the
genetic disease-- hypertension in our family. The doctor says if he gains too much weight it will
be bad for his body and his heath. So, I have been working all the summer vacation just to give
him a gift—the card of gym. He doesn’t like to do sports, and he always say that also heredity to
me, because for me, doing sports also will kill me. But for his heath, I couldn’t let him just do it,
so I send him to do sports and I also did it with him together two mouths. Now he has not a
really fat body, and looks healthier than before.
When I talk about my mother, I need to use my imagination to guess and imagine her
because she was not with me all the time, she doesn’t stay with me, and grow up with me
together. The reason is that my hometown is very small town; it is difficult for people to find a
good job there. That’s why most of the people who live in my hometown left there and went to
Korea to work. And that’s why we have a lot of family like mine which belongs to a single
parent family. My mother has been working in Korea since I was 6 years old. Before she left
China to go back to Korea to work, she worked in China as a Korean guide. She can speak
Chinese as well as Korean. Until now, we don’t have a lot of chances to see each other, but I

believe that when I will finish my master here, I can find a good job and I will stay with her all
the time together.
The last member in my family, of course it’s me. Well, I am not a so smart student like
my father who can solve a lot of math quiz, actually I am really bad at math and English, my
father always said why I didn’t work hard for these two subjects, and I could go to a good
college in China, but I need to say that I really hated math and English before. But still, I came to
America to study English, maybe just because I inherited the spirit from my father “To never
give up”. And unfortunately, I didn’t inherit the beautiful face from my mother, even if I don’t
want to admit that, but all my family members told me that is true. So what? I still like to put
make up, have my own style, smile to everyone and face life with good attitude, my mother said
this is the most similarity with her, so I think it’s enough.
This is my family, just like all the normal family in the world, and also different from all
the different families in the world. Everyone’s family has its particularity, and commonality. I
love my family, just like they love me.
I will never stop keep watching my ...
