Examine yourself in the context of the nature vs. nurture debate. Think about your personality characteristics, your likes and dislikes, your strengths and weaknesses. Are you the way you are because of nature (heredity) or nurture (environment, parenting, education, etc.)? If you were to pick a side, which one would win out in your development as a person?
I believe that the way I am is because of the environment I have been raised in. My family is extremely involved in my life and has instilled many morals in me that make up who I am today. I feel as though the parenting that my mom and dad have conducted over the past 18 years has made me a stable and confident person that is finally ready to be an adult and enter college/live on my own. Also, my education has developed the way I think and execute myself when finishing assignments because the schools I have attended are highly ranked. The teachers I have had so far have shaped me to become a good student and have offered me numerous opportunities in order to broaden my horizons. I am very lucky to be surrounded by a healthy environment at home and at school, and it has influenced my personality as well as my ambitions to really make something out of myself. The constant encouragement from my parents have inspired me to always follow my dreams and make sure that I push myself to be the best that I can be.
