1884 Words8 Pages

They have been my earliest teachers, and until today, are still teaching me the values, principles and morals they want for me. A big part of my personality is because I am an interpersonal crosspoint of my parents. My parents are very religious, and have a lot of morals. They always believe in doing what is right and being persons for others. For my father, this stems from him growing up under an Atenean education. For my mother, this stems from her own family’s religiousness and upbringing. The values that are still being imparted on myself and my my siblings through an interpersonal crosspoint has its roots from the interpersonal and social cross points that my parents encountered while they were growing up. …show more content…

Slowly and unconsciously, the social personality of Atenean has shaped me to the person that I am

    Would one hold the same values if he was, perhaps, born to a different family? The answer is probably “no”. For instance, if an individual is born into a family of integrity, he will likely embrace that trait, just as an individual born into a family of duplicity will likely embrace that trait.
