random thought...
Do you think that the person you are today is primarily shaped by your childhood and the events that went along with it? Do you think that you are who you are in some way because of the obsticles you have faced as you grew up? We all have traits that we inherit from both of our parents, but another part of us we create on our own. It is not something that we try to do, and we are not aware of it, but as we are exposed to new people and new environments, they may affect us in some way or another. And ive seen it happen, too.
