MY LYFE

I am the oldest of three brothers. Being the oldest has many ups and downs, but so does being the middle child or youngest child.  Responsibility is a big thing when your the oldest child, especially when your involved with a farm. Being the oldest my dad always makes me do chores. My brothers aren't called upon to do much at all, but as soon as I'm gone one of them will have to do something.

Some kids have more heredity than others. My dad was tall and skinny when he was in high school and I got the skinny part. I inherited my moms height though she isn't very tall. My middle brother is going to be tall like my dad though. My parents both had blonde hair when they were younger but it got darker as they got older. Mine is doing the same thing. One thing I didn't inherit is eye sight. I don't have the best eye sight, but both of my parents have glasses and I don't need them.

Parental Characteristics have a lot to do with how a child acts. Most kids are like their parents and have the same views as their parents. My dad has a job that requires a lot of time so I'm not around him as much as my mom but I'm more like my dad. So that doesn't make a lot of sense. It must have to do with heredity.

The last thing that shapes a kid is their Cultural Environment.  Growing up in a small town I know almost everybody. It makes me a lot more friendly and out going I think. Small school allows me to participate in everything and give myself a lot more opportunities.

All those factors go into shaping a child. Good and bad things come from it. Every kid is different some may not be shaped by these factors at all but there is always heredity. The most important one in my mind is your Cultural Environment, that's a lot of people and a lot of things around you that make you who you are.
