The topic that we talked about in class, about how we are somewhat like our parents is interesting to me. Especially since i am adopted and i dont know who my birth family is. I act a lot like my adopted family, in certain ways, but at the same time i am so different from them, which i am sure is the same for a lot of other adopted children. It makes me wonder though if some of the things that makes me different from my adopted family makes me somewhat the same as my birth family. Obviously i would look more like the, but the way that i act and think might be somewhat the same too.
anyway, i dont think that how people act and grow up to be has everything to do with parents and family, but what experiences that a person goes through to help determine why they way that they are. for instance, if a person gets into fights at school, and is always getting into trouble for most of their childhood, they will probibly not be the happiest people. And if a person grows up being nice and not getting into fights then they might end up being more happy. that is how i see people being, and why they act the way that they do, if it is not just the family that determines how people act and are the way that they are.

Familial (especially childhood) influences are powerful and long-lasting, but not the only effective determinants of our individual natures.
