My family tradition

Hello, my name is Yu Tamura. I am a university of Shimane student. I am from Hamada, Shimane, so I go to university from my home, but my mother takes up job leaving me behind, so I have a single life in my home. I am a only child, so I was two livings with my mother. I am sometimes lonly, but I have three cats, so loneliness softnes. My mother is nurse. My mother works on weekdays and she come back our home on weekend. On holiday, I sometimes go shopping with my mother. I often talk with my mother, for example my university life, my friends, my future dream and so on. My family is not special. My family is comon family. Even a normal family is happy. But I have a lot of relatives. All relatives gather on New Year holidays. On New Year holiday, we make omochi and on summer vacation, we go camping and we swim and go fishing. It is very fun. I am looking forward to the day. My mother has three sisters and my mother is the second sister. Also, my grandmother has one brother and three sisters, so I have a lot of relatives. I have 9 cousins and 11 second cousins. I go them well, so I play with them. My family and relative is good at sports. My family and relative leave a lot of good grades, for example gymnastics, tennis, judo, kendo and so on. I have played basketball since I am a elementary school student, so I want to be a good basketball player and I want to leave a good grade, too, so I have to make a lot of efforts. My mother is the best gymnastics player. She participated Inter-school athletic meet. I proud of my mother. My mother is very tender, of course it is very terrible when she is angry and she cooks very well. I thank for my mother she brought me up alone. I thank for having given birth to my mother. I want to be dutiful to my mother. I want to follow my mother. My mother said that she wants to go Italy and she wants to eat pasta and other Italian food, so I want take her to Italy with me. Also, my grandmother is very tender and she is very fine. She is looking forward to watching my basketball game. She cooks very well, too. I noticed important of family. I thought that it was a matter of course so far, but I noticed that it was not a matter of course so far. I have to do myself from now. I thought that my parents and my relatives have supported me since I was born, so next I have to support them. I thought that I have to thank for them. I want to graduate from university and become an excellent member of society and I want to repay its kindness. I want to be dutiful to my mother and relatives who brought me up and I think that I want to value them.
