Family，it's just a six-letter word：but to me，it is a word full of meaning．From the moment I was born，my parents showed me with love．I love spending time with my family．Hiking up Mt．Washington，going on a road trip to Las Vegas，camping in Virginia，and playing volleyball in the mud are some of the greatest and most unforgettable memories I have made with them．

The definition（定义）of the word family，in hte dictionary，is a group of people related by blood．As I grew older，the definition of family continues to change．I have learned that one can have different types of families．My volleyball team and my lacrosse（长曲棍球） team are two groups of people I consider as family because during each season，they are the ones that I am always around，that can give supports（支持），that can give a helping hand when needed．

I like to think that my classmates are another type of family．They help me on both school work and homework and explain concepts（概念） that seem foreign to me，like different slang words．They can even make me laugh when I am having one of those days when it seems like very lousy（恶心）thing that could happen，is happening．

The people around me have taught me to always be there for family，that family comes first．From school，to sports，to home，I know that I am not alone，that there is someone there．Without my family，and my"extended（延伸的） families"，I don't know where I would be．I am truly lucky．
