On the one side of the paper, make a list of pros and cons of Biological families. On the other side, do the same for your other family, made up of your friends and role models.

Feel free to discuss your lists with your peers and we'll continue shortly."

K-Lee set to work on her list, only quickly putting some ideas down.

She frowned looking at it. She didn't really have many ideas to put on it, but still tried.

Family was there to support you, whether you choose them, or they ... chose you.

"In a little while, we're going to go on a mini adventure, but before we do that, I want to show you a quick calculation." She paused as she flipped to the page in the textbook. "Using the Pythagorean number system in chapter two, we're going to do a rather simple calculation of your family name number. Unfortunately for this you're going to have to use your biological family name, although if it's legalized, then I suppose adoptive would work too. Anyone have any idea how to calculate this number?"]

Oooo, adventure! Calculation? K-Lee was frowning within seconds of looking happy. She had forgotten that it was Arithmancy and that involved actual math and work. She didn't have any idea on what to do, so sat quietly.

K-Lee worked on how interpreting her families name. Writing it down, she referred to the textbook to see exactly how it was done.

S-O-L-E-R

1-6-3-5-9

1+6+3+5+9= 24

Soler family number: 6

Quote:

Textbook: 6: Balance, nurturing, service-oriented, responsibility/duty, family focus, domestic and work issues.

K-Lee thought about it. It sort of fit her family, in a way. Though she didn't know what some of it meant. She went on with the task, poising her quill on the parchment again.

She had nothing. She sat for a few minutes, just trying to think.

Quote:

My father is all for if you have the knowledge and ability you have the responsibility to do things, I suppose that makes sense with the responsibilty/duty part of things. Family focus also. As a family, we stick together. My twin brothers Reed and Royce, and my sister Pearl keep the family balanced. Reed and Royce loud and outrageous comparing to Pearl's quiet attitude.

That worked for K-Lee. It seemed to cover all she could understand.

Text Cut: BIOLOGICAL FAMILY PROS: - They are almost always an owl away - They love you and look after you - They are protective and side with you - They help you out when times are tough, and try to stick together - No matter how different, there is always something that bonds them together. CONS: - They can't always be there with you - Disagreeing on something and not being able to just stop being near them for a bit to cool down FAMILY OF FRIENDS AND ROLE MODELS/ADOPTED FAMILIES PROS: - You choose them - There are boundaries, not always with them like you're biological family. - If they are you're adoptive or chosen family, then you msut admire them for something. - If they adopted you then they have to care for you, otherwise why would they have chosen you? CONS: - Sometimes there can be jealousy's in the group or family over someone not truly belonging, or being new. She frowned looking at it.
