Design Plan

I've edited this plan since my orginal writing and it should make better sense now. I plan on writing about how my sister's pregnancy effects my family as a whole. Since this essay is meant to be personal, I’ve decided to write about my sisters pending pregnancy and the effects that it has on my immediate family. I’ve decided that my purpose will be to inform people about the mental and social changes that occur during pregnancy and how it affects the entire family that supports the expecting mother. We are in a society in which more financial responsibility is being pushed onto people who are less reliable. She is a recent college graduate, with several thousand dollars in student loans and a less than a reputable health. She has been smoking for the last thirteen years and has several bouts of anxiety and depression. My goal for this piece is to stress the importance of family.My audience will most likely be families in which someone is expecting. Expecting parents will be looking for advice, and comfort in the upcoming months and years. I would hope to encourage people to not stray from reality because they feel overwhelmed, but to grab hold of the wonderment of their lives, such as watching their newborn child sleep. I would like to stress how the child affects both sets of parents as the child reaches infancy and progresses every year. Even though this is my sister’s first child, I have cousins who had children in the recent years and I’ve seen them grow up. My family is naturally close. We get together every month at my aunts house, so in part, we have all had a hand in raising them. There is no such thing as a predictable path to parenthood and the journey itself is often the best experience a parent can receive.
