Family TreeBy: Rebecca Araneta

Past

Born December 30th, 1991, I was the first child of my parents Sunshine and Rey. From what I remember, being the first child was the life - all the attention and presents!

But two years later, my brother Jordan was born and three years after, my sister Jenna. As much as I liked having my brother to play with, I was more excited to have my baby sister because I had a doll to play with.

Unfortunately, my parents separated when I was in third grade and my siblings and I only got to see my dad every other weekend.

PresentMy parents divorce took a lot of getting used to it, but eventually I understood why things changed. The good thing is that my family doubled in size !

My siblings and I currently live with my mom and step dad. Together they had two children - my sister Aaliyah and brother Joshua.

My dad got remarried in Vancouver and he also had two children with my step mom - my brother Armel and the youngest Selena. Although they live far, I do get to see them once a year, twice on a good year !

Future

Almost every little girl's dream is to have a big family and live in an even bigger house...

Although the future is far, far away, one day I do hope that I will have my own family to add to my family tree. But for now, I`m pretty sure my parents are hoping I just finish school first...
