In my seventh grade year, I was making bad choices and I got into a lot of trouble at school because of the type of friends I had. The type of friends I had didn’t help me with my school work, and I had bad grades. When I realized the friends I had weren’t really my friends, I decided to find some new friends. When I put aside the people that had a bad influence on me, everything changed. I started getting good grades, and I stopped getting into trouble.

My culture and upbringing has shaped my personality and actions a lot. First off, I was raised to always try my best. My dad always wants me to be on time and make smart decisions. He lets me take extra-curriculum and makes sure I am always double checking and triple checking to make sure I am not missing anything. My mom raised me to be honest. She says that as long as I am honest, I will be better off. Because I was raised like this, I always try my best. When I get in trouble, I will try best to tell the truth.

From my family’s way of acting and culture I believe that it has affected my own personality and individual choices. One of my culture’s most important key factors is honoring your elders. This has helped me learn patience and how to understand other peoples ways of thinking. Since, disrespecting elders is a very serious matter I’ve somewhat learned that even though you may disagree with your parents you should still respect them and their wishes. One choice that I made that I really believe has made an impact on my personality is my choice of going to China. My mother’s idea has really opened up to me how she was raised and understanding why she wanted me to go so badly.

As long as I remember, I have never been fully happy with anything. I don’t know why I do this, but I always try to find the negative sides to things. For example, when I got my laptop, all I could think about is how lazy I would become. This is the way my parents raised me, my dad, especially. I remember once, on a long car ride, my dad told me, “Always see a different side to things”, and I have remembered that all my life.

The way I was raised made a big impact in my personality and choices. I was taught as a young child to always stand up for yourself. Although I do not agree with my parents teachings, I transformed them into things I would live by. For example, they have taught me that if someone hits you, you hit back. However, even as a child, I knew that violence was not the key. I took it as standing up for myself and the things people say about you don’t matter. It is what you think of yourself that does.

Through all I’ve been through I have adjusted my personality to it. My parents and many people are telling me different things that will be always good to know for the rest of my life. I think it is important to know things like these and I think everyone should have a teacher. But not the teachers from school, a teacher to tell you right, from wrong. A teacher that's always by your side.

When I was little, I was taught many things. First of all, to talk to adults formally with their relative name and their real name ( Aunt Lien ) everytime I would see them I would say “hi “ with the formal name. This taught me how to be respectful to my elders and if I did not my dad would make me say it. My dad was very strict about to keep the house clean ( even if it was just one toy car not put away he would yell about it ), getting to places on time or maybe even earlier, etc. By doing this I have gotten the habit of cleaning and going to places earlier than usual, as they say “ the early bird gets the worm”.

I have always been taught that if you see anyone injured you have to help them immediately. When I was in kindergarten I saw someone that tripped and fell , so I came over and helped them . I knew that water always helped injures like this , so I brought him to the drinking fountain and put water over his hand to get the germs out . And then I told the teacher about the injure and she came and brought a first aid kit .

Growing up, my parents did not teach me a lot of things compared to other people. My mom and dad wanted me to learn more languages, so they sent me to Chinese school with my two neighbors, although I was not very good at it. I only stopped going to Chinese school because they had moved to a new location. By going to Chinese school, I had wanted to learn more languages. Going to Chinese school has also changed me by wanting to do better in school.

My culture would be your traditional American family. We have the usually traditions and support one another. In my family, we have Irish ancestry, which means we are hotheads, or short tempered. Some family members are in or veterans from war, so we are strong and do not give up on one another and push ourselves to the limit. We encourage each other to always try our best and do well in anything we are involved in, no matter what anybody tells you. I try to do well in everything that I do, such as sports and of course my education. When I do struggle in school, I tend to freak out and get frustrated, but it helps me to remember what my mom said about not giving up since there is always time to make up for your mistakes.

I am who I am because of what has happen to me since I was little, good and bad. These experiences is the reason why I am me now. My community, friends, family, teachers, and even people I don’t get along with have shaped me and will continue to shape me until I die. The way I carry myself, talk, and treat others all came from learning from different experiences in my life so far, and I will continue to learn.

My family has made an impact in my personality and individual choices. they have taught me how to treat others the way you would want to be treated, this is very important because if you don’t treat others nicely, they would do the same to you and you wouldn’t like it. They also taught me how to obey the elders, and how to help one another when they are in need. I believe that helping others is also important thing to me because when you help others it makes you feel good seeing them happy.They also have taught me what’s wrong and what’s right.

In my life, whenever I feel like giving up I always think about the people I love and the people who believe in me such as friends and family that know that I will one day succeed in life. I don’t why I sometimes feel like this. Is it because I just don’t want to continue anymore, I don’t know.

My family was always generous and nice to other people around us, even if we didn’t know them. They taught me to always be nice to everyone around me in order to make friends, NOT enemies. They showed that I should be grateful because my family is living the “American dream”. They told me throughout my entire child years that we have it better than anyone else in my family. They helped me become a good kid but, sometimes I slip out of the “nice zone”. They encouraged me to carry out an excellent education because they couldn’t finish all their years in college.

My upbringing shaped my personality and choices very much. I was raised by my single mom so it made me more independant. My mom would always teach me to do my best no matter what. So when a test came I would do well because i was not pressured. When I would get bad grades she would not get very mad unless she knew I didn’t do my best or if i was being lazy. My mom would always teach me to be a nice person and that I would get good karma. So i try my very best to be the good person that my mom wants me to be.

My parent teach me do not wasting my own times to do anything that have no points. They think if I wasted my time on something that is realy not need, I would miss many niceness or those thing I actually need to do.Because they always say that to me, so I following them. They have helped shape my personality and choices. I do not keep up will the Joneses for things such as living environment, or special skills. I think I just need to do as good as I can.
