Family Background－revised

My name is Ching-Ti Chen.  I am a seventeen-year-old teenager, born in Tainan City.  There are nine members in my family, including four adults and five children.  Because of the tough financial support and the low pay earned only by my mother, we five girls all have been taught to make good use of money and cherish everything since we were very young.  Also, all I can do to relieve my family finance is try my utmost to study hard and apply for scholarships, for not only do I have incapability of getting a job to earn money but I also want to repay my mother’s moil.

  Father once occupied a sir in the military camp 30 years ago.  Accordingly, he is severe about our behavior, correcting our mistakes.  But he also gives me good lessons and trains me to become a responsible person.  My mom is a career woman and I show great respect to her, thinking of her as a superwoman.  She always encourages me to be more mature and independent.  Because of these concerned and tolerated parents, I grow up with happy and adore.  My elder sister studies in Department of Fashion Design in Tainan University Of Technology.  She is knowledgeable and good at art.  As I get into troubles, she will also listen to me and offer some constructive advice.  My three younger sisters bring laughter to us all the time and make the whole house filled with happiness.  My grandparents are over 70 years old; but they still healthy, usually concerning about our daily life.  It’s my pleasure to own such a lovely and harmonious family.  I have unforgettable memories from my childhood to now.
