My family's history
"The people can't live alone" that is what my family taught me. I think to us as an Arabian people we like the social activates. We prefer to be in-group more than to be alone. I do not know why but that is what we grow up with. "If you want to know anyone very well test him in the travel." That is an old say in my culture. Many people agree with that because, in the travel the people will be in them natural way. In my family, we have a traditional that every year we have two trips. For me I was been in all of them except the last two because, I was here in the US. I have many benefits that I took from these trips. One example is, I set most the time with people older than me that means I took some lessons from them, some experience from them life, and some new words. That is one example; another is to know all the people in my family.
Before sixteen years, the relationship between my family's members somewhat weak. That happened because they live far from each other. That means nobody know the people who live in another place. My uncle was not happy for that so, he tried to thing about some thing that makes the relationship stronger. He knew some people who own some buses. He rent bus and tolled the family that we will make a trip so, who is interest about this trip he has to come to sign up his name in his home. In the first trip the passenger were not too much. Because, nobody thought about the advantage for this rather trips. As my father tolled me, that all my uncles and my antis were the only people in that trip. When they back, they always talked about that trip. After a year from that trip some people tolled my uncle to make it bigger this time because, they like to go. My uncle did that so, he rent two buses to go. It was fun. Now in the last year they were around 200 people.
For me, this trip is a good chance to meet the rest of my family specially the people who work or study far from my city. Moreover, I love to work or serve in those trips because all of them are my family. In the bus while we are in the street usually we make some activates like the best joke and some questions. In addition, the women prepare some foods that we enjoy eat them in the bus. I forget one thing, which I like also to go to buy the supplies for the trip before a day from the trip. Another task is to arrange the people in the bus. All that happened before the trip. When we arrive to our place we, the worker divide the work to us like the clean for a group while the food will be taking care from another. I like to be in the group who go to bring the food in the morning or anytime. Another thing that I am professional in it is to make the tae and the coffee. Usually I back from those trips with a new friendship and a relationship.
I am very sad that I could not go with them last year. The worst thing happen last trip is when I called them all of them said that we missed you inn the trip. I do not know why sometime I like to back to me home maybe because this activates. In the next year, I will try to be with them.
