This project that I have made hereis a Ted Talk. There were options of what we were supposed to talk about. The ones I picked were between family and heartbreak that I've experienced. It Felt like this topic was something I think a lot of people could relate to and something I wanted to put out there. I Typed this on google docs and proofread it afterwards for mistakes.
Hello everyone my name is Kwame, and i'm going to start off by saying to you to stay close with your family. Family is important in our lives and we need their support and they need ours. Treat every family member with respect because they all love you and they wouldn't know what to do without you in their life. So let's get to what i want to say and what i need to say. In the beginning of 2013 A family member died in her sleep from a brain tumor. As a result of this three family members ages 13,16 and 19 moved from America to Canada. I remember picking them up from the airport with my mom and I was nervous because I have never met them before and I knew my life would change forever. It was very awkward at first talking to them face to face and they were really shy. Few weeks past we were all getting along and they went outside to play with snow because this was their first time seeing it ever. It was funny seeing their reaction because I never knew that they had never seen it before. From there I thought my relationship was only going to get better from there but it went downhill for a bit. Over the years me and my youngest family member didn't like each other that much. We didn't have the same interest, and we just had nothing in common. It wasn't till when I was older I realized it was some of the things I said and how I treated him affected us. Few years have passed and I'm Still not so close with him. Whenever I went over to his house we would just say “Hi” and isolate ourselves from each other. I don't think that's a good thing especially when we were young, we should have been hanging out and talking more. But deep down I can tell our relationship from the past affected us greatly. As time went by I realized it's not healthy to have a negative relationship with someone so I did the mature thing and worked on breaking down the wall that was up between us. Now our relationship is really good with each other. I support whatever he does in life and he supports me. I can tell that we just have more trust now more than ever. It's not worth it to fight over anything with family members and don't give up on each other because at the end of the day family comes before anything else
