Final thoughts (what do you want the reader to do/remember?)
Sometimes I stop and ask myself,where do I come from?
To discover where I came from, I have explored my paternal and maternal lineages, and my family’s current story.
My paternal lineages are life lessons.
My maternal lineages are more connected to me.
My family has a long, crazy story.
To discover where I came from, I have explored my strict paternal lineage, warm-hearted maternal lineage, and my family’s confusing current story.
My paternal lineage has educated me for the real life. My maternal lineage gave me motivation. My family’s exciting current story has made me expect for the unexpected.
Whenever I think about family the first thing I think is love. What is life without family?
