I grew up in a neighborhood with my relatives surrounding me, my family always stayed close to my relatives and I got to play and hangout with my cousins, we always were together, we go camping and picnics together sometimes we travel out off the country, my parents approve because they know whom I’m going with, they felt comfortable knowing that we were together.
