Who AM I?
My name is ______. My ethnic background explains a lot of who I am, and the values that I have developed. My name was chosen using a religious method that is based on astrology. My parents are both from India and moved here only a couple of years before I was born. They spoke little English, and as a result, I was taught Gujarati as a first language. I grew up with a large family because my parents, grandparents, and my uncle's family all lived in the same house. Growing up in this environment helped mold me into the man that I have become today. My family is religious and we went to the temple every week. Even as a child I attended temple schooling where they taught us about our heritage, which in turn educated me about where I came from. However, now I am not that religious and don't go to the temple because I believe it is becoming corrupted. My family and my parents in particular, provided me with the morals that I hold to be true. I am very grateful of the way my parents brought me up. They always told me do to others as you would like them to do to you. That phrase is what I keep in mind befor
I haven't always done the right thing, but I have learned from it when I think back. The foundation has been set for me so I just have to build upon it. My mother and I have a lot of traits that are similar. I feel as if I could talk to my mother about anything, while it is different with my father. How you eat and how well you talk care of your body effects your physical traits no matter what your genetics say. That early childhood bond is probably what influenced much of my thinking. When I was young I was not exceptionally intelligent. As the first few years went by in school, I started to learn English and started improving in school. I am very big on learning from my mistakes. Also an individual's physical traits are more venerable by the environment. I am still experiencing new things and changing. We both think a like and have many common interests. That is why I believe that childhood experiences are responsible for a lot of the traits we have when we grow up. During my four years here I will have plenty of experiences that will change the way I think or act, and I am hopeful that they will all be for the best.
