Genes or Environment

Today I was talking with my dad, about me not posting. I have not forgotten about my blog nor have I given up, but by the end of this quarter I will be back. I was sittin around and I was thinking. I spent yesterday with my aunt, a woman I love very much and love spending time with, and we went to go see my cousin play in a basketball game. We were just talking about my family on the ride there. Today I talked with my father and just got to thinking, what makes people the way that they are? My father has always questioned society and why things are the way they are. If it wasn't for him, among a select others, I wouldn't be who I am today. My aunt has always wanted to experience more, always wanting to move on to the next thing in life to experience. She taught me experience as much of life as possible. My Uncle has been looking for himself as long as I have known him. He knows that the way things are, aren't the way he wants it to be. He is finding himself, and I am proud of him. Although he didn't purposefully instill this in me he taught that in the end you have to be happy, if you conform to others and ignore your true feelings you won't be happy. Finally my other aunt, who has always worked at bettering herself, but what she taught me has nothing to do with that she taught me to have pride in my family. Most of the people in Winnfield don't care about the things that my dad showed me were important, nor care to see the things in the world my aunt told me about, want the changes my uncle wants or the drive of my other aunt. I really have no point just me thinking in this post
