Kinship refers to the interaction relationships that we have with other people within the society even in the family. It involves the connection of relationships between a family and it extends to a larger social groups such as a tribe or clan. Kinship have a important role in our lives in shaping a social organization.

Interactions with other people is important, it can be people within a family, neighbors and also friends. On my networks it incudes my  family of 7, My parents, aunt, 3 siblings and me. We always interact a lot when everyone is available, we chat about old times and share memories of childhood. It gets fun whenever I came over for holidays. Things changed when I moved into a new place, where I had to make new friends.  I made friends, whom we are always found laughing as if we have a laughing disorder. My networks now included friends as we always chill together on weekends. We watch movies, make videos and take photos. Whenever we do grocery we go together, we always cook together on our spare time. I am a clown among the friends as I become happy when I see people smile and laugh because of me.

Also My networks includes my res mates I stay with, as we are more than 60 at res. I sometimes socialize with them when I am the kitchen doing dishes, sometimes at the laundry. During  recess we host game night at res, where we watch movies and play games. They host games as some students are not able to go home as it is far. I lack socializing skills due to my social anxiety, as in class I do not interact with anyone, I always sit alone. I get panic attacks whenever I have to attend classes especially when I am alone. It is even hard for me meetup with my group members whenever there is a group assignment because I cant talk or socialize with people I  am not used to. 

My network also takes place in a taxi, as sometimes I sit with someone who is talkative, I also chat back and have fun.  Also when there is a ceremony I interact with many people whom I have years not seeing them. In family gatherings I get to meet new family members whom I do not know. Also the family from both sides, mothers side and fathers side come for  ceremony, depending which family did a ceremony. I catch up with my childhood friends and cousins. 

In sum up kinship is important as it shapes us as individuals, also interaction with other people is important.
