Network of kinship is the different relationships we have with people and how we socialize and interact with them. I can say in my life I have bonds and connections with people that play different roles.

My mother and father I consider them my backbone and they are the ones that support me the most and they are closest to me, but my mother is the one person I run to whenever I need something, she is the one that I am most comfortable with. My mother takes care of me, and my needs and she also take care of the whole household like cleaning, cooking etc. even though she works 5 days a week I always wonder how she does it. She is always there for me in every way emotionally, financially she gives me all the support I need in my academics and my dreams I consider her my number one fan and supporter.

As for my father he is the provider in my life and in our household, he takes care of buying groceries and also paying for bills he also fix broken things around the house, most of the time he is not home because of work so I don't bond with him that much that's why I am much more comfortable with my mother than my father. I am scared of my father he is the person that I can't sit down with and have a conversation even when I need something I am not comfortable enough to go to him, but I know that he cares for me and also supports me and my goals I want to achieve.

My family members from my father's side we really don't get along they really not involved in my life. The family members that are involved in my life are on my mother's side they really do give me support and they do show me love and care, they always cheer for me in everything I achieve in my life.

Friends and lectures are people that I met along the way in my life as I started University I can say they play a role in making my university life easier and I can attest  that you really do need people in University that can help you in your academics in order to do well and they really have been of help to me to do well in my academics.

My community and neighbors these are the people that play a role of "I scratch your back you scratch my back" we really do help each other for example: my neighbor whenever she needs sugar or teabags, we always help her with that, and we also ask for help if we need it.

We really do need people in our lives that can help you and have a positive impact in your life. All the relationships I have they really do play a huge role in my life and without them my life would be hectic.
