Unit 2

Hello all! Welcome to my Unit 2 Blog! To me Unit 2 was jam packed with lots of useful, interesting information/concepts that I would not have thought about on my own. My interest was caught by the book's discussion of the individual's personality. I have always wondered what has made me the way I am today, and now I know. I got to be this way from my environment and the genes I was given at birth. I think that I am a lot like my parents, but also I am way different from them too. The book said that a majority of our personalities is formed from our genes, and I really see that expressed in me and my three sisters. We each have very unique personalities, but each of us express in different ways of our parents genes. My mom is a worrier. I often refer to her as a helicopter mom, always hovering above me and always concerned with what I am doing. Two of my sisters are very much like this, so they must have gotten the helicopter genes. My sister Emily and I are much more go with the flow, outgoing, and not really concerned with stuff ever. This is more like my dad. However, my mom and dad both are always prepared well in advance, my sisters Elizabeth, Erin, and I are a lot like this, but Emily is not. So I think that since she is the oldest her environment was shaped to put stuff off to help out with the younger kids and that she would eventually get around to the stuff she had to do. I will say that I am the most free spirited of the bunch, and I think that it is because I was the baby and my parents had seen/dealt with just about everything by the time I did it, and also I am the boy; therefore, I am the favorite and can get away with anything. Hope you enjoyed my blog today!
