Ten forces that have shaped me

I would have to say the first force would have to be my mother. She has shaped my life because she taught me to be kind a caring. My second force would have to be my dad. He has taught me to be very organized and neat. My Grandma would be my third force. She has taught me that I should treat others the way I wish to be treated and she gave me a lot of pointers on how to deal with people who may be difficult to handle. My grandpa is my fourth force. He taught me to work hard, be dedicated and to take my time with things. My fifth force would have to be my sisters. They have taught me that no matter what my family is what gets me through it all. My brothers are my sixth force. They have taught me to be patient and understanding of others. My Seventh force would have to be my religion. I am a christian and my religion has taught me to be grateful for what I have, to be loyal to my family, to be morally rounded and to have strong values. My eighth force would be my friends. They have showed me what it means to be a good friend and how I should treat others. They have taught me to be confident and to not worry about what other people think of me. My ninth force would have to be my teachers that I have had over the years. all of them have impacted me in some way and have made me into a better student. My final force would have to be my family farm. Growing up on a farm, I was taught to not be afraid to get my hands dirty every now and then. I learned to be caring towards animals and to know what it is to earn what you have worked for. It has also taught me to work hard and be consistent in my work ethic.

Brooke, I enjoyed what you wrote because I felt that it was very similar to mine. Family is a very important part of the developement that we get. I find it interesting that you grew up on a farm though. It's a great thing to be diligent.
