Factors That Make Me
As people, we all have different traits. And as we grow older, we can develop new traits. Some of these traits can include being responsible, patient, self-reliant, easily angered and hard-working. Although not all traits are good, we have them, and they are hard to get rid of. Many people we are around, for example family and friends, have the same traits we have, but in a way can be completely different. Our traits show exactly who we are, what we are like, and how we will handle certain things. Maturity is one trait that is definitely influenced by family as well as friends. It is probably the one trait that I have which is very noticeable. I am the youngest of my family, with my only sister being 8 years older than I am.
