The People That Help Make Me Who I Am

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn

I think that this statement is mostly true because I can see characteristics that are similar to people that I'm mostly around.  It's not completely true because I'm not like two of the five people that I spend the most time with.  The five people that I spend the most time with are my mom, sister, brother, my grandma, and my grandpa.  I admit that I sometimes act like my mom, grandma, and even my grandpa. However, I don't act like my brother and sister.  I accept that I have my mom's ability to save money, her attitude and sassiness, and her facial expressions.  The qualities that I got from my grandma are her quiet nature, her respect for God, and her love for hugs.  A quality that I got from my grandpa is his competitiveness for games.  I'm pretty sure I got my When I think about it, I can't find any characteristics that relate me to my brother or sister.  I don't act like my siblings because I tolerate them.  I really don't like the way that they act like towards people.  Because of this and their other tendencies, I choose not to behave the way that they do.  Overall, I think that these characteristics make me a better, more interesting person because I know when to keep my mouth shut, but can also be fun.  I like that I respect God, am quiet when needed, and can save money.  Apparently, people think my facial expressions are funny so I guess that's a good thing.  These traits make me similar, but different from two of my favorite people.
