“Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II” by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Kimberly Kirberger. Pages 199-236.

Summary:

What is perfect family? For this short story writer, Marc St. Pierre, thought that a perfect family should have parents, a son or daughter. Couple years ago, her parents started fighting more and more and she knew that they were going to divorce. She didn’t know what she could do. Nevertheless, she was so mad because she felt betrayed. Finally, her parents got divorced. And then, Marc and her mother, sister moved to her grandparents’ house. Although the house was smaller than before, her grandparents were so care about Marc. They asked her about her grade, her friends, her school, and her feeling everyday. Marc realized that a perfect family was not meaning a father, mother, and son/daughter. Finally, she understood that it was her perfect family, nothing more important than that.
Opinion:

I am so glad that I read this story because I learned something from this story. I learned that a perfect family is all about love, not about people. A single parent is very common in those years. Therefore, nobody cares about that if a kid has father/mother or not. They only care that if a kid has good family or not. For me, I won’t care anything about that. If I love my kids, no matter they have mother or not. I believe that I can give my kids a wonderful life although I am not very rich.
