Why Does Family Matter So Much to Jeff Morris Jr.?

Jeff Morris Jr. grew up as one of eight children. He says the siblings are very different, including different politics and different personalities, and that they still respect and love each other. For him, family is the reason he goes to work. They are the people who know the whole arc of his life and who respect his decisions the most. He ties that to an essay he wrote while he was in Japan, Headline versus Reality, which Kyle Tibbitts says was largely about family. He also calls this period a chance to reconnect with family, and he talks about having been born into a different generation from some of the people around him.
