Communication

Communication is really essential in the lives of people. It is the exchange of information between people, by means of speaking, writing, or using a common system of signs or behavior. This is the way of expressing our emotions and sharing the sentiments that are inside us.

Communication is also very important in a family. This is one way of strengthening the bond in a family. When there is interaction among the members of the family, there is a sharing of thoughts and feelings, and an exchange of opinions. You will know what is inside them and what they think so that when there will be conversations, you can not hurt them with your words.

I really felt the sadness of my youngest sister when she cried. She has to make a scrap book of poems. She needs to write the poems on her own. But because of laziness, she only writes one stanza in each poem. So my aunt reacted and said that it will not be accepted by the teacher. She said that my sister was better when she was in grade one. Because of that my sister, went to the table and was very angry to finish all the ten poems. But she was not able to do it and she just went in their room and cried. I really felt sorry for my sister because I could not help her write all the poems. I wanted to, but my handwriting is not like hers. My sister continued to cry. Then, my mother told her to stop crying and scolded her. She went on crying much stronger than before. Tears on my eyes went down. I directly went down stairs to wipe my tears.

I think that she felt too much pressure from us that is why she cried. I think she wanted to tell us that she could not do it but she does not know how to say this. She does not know how to express her feelings. I really felt sad for her because I already felt the same many times when I was still young. They wanted me to do something which I can not do. They forced me to achieve something which I can not make. But I could not explain to them what do I feel inside. And I am afraid to say it because I am afraid that they could not accept my explanation. And I am afraid that they will get angrier because they will feel being disrespected.

I want to do something to change this setting in my family. I do not want to keep this going because my younger sister might rebel because of the pressure. I am afraid that because of this my family would be destroyed. I do not want it to happen because my family is the only source of my will to keep going in life. I do not want that there will come a time that my family will be broken and it will be already too late to change what is wrong in the family. I will really try my best to have a good communication with my family.
