My Questions on Myself

1.

How does the way you have been rewarded, punished, and disciplined over the course of your life affect who you are today? Over my years I have been affected a lot by how my parents have disciplined me. My mom and dad always rewarded me and my sister equally and fairly for what we did. In this way, we were always rewarded and this pushed us to do better than usual. I know that when my parents rewarded me for something I did, I would always do the best to get that same reward again. It affects me because I always try and perform to my best just because of that reward system.
2.

Explain how the following factors have influenced who you are today: religion, ethnicity, gender, hometown, country... I have always gone to church ever since I was younger and because of that I have a moral obligation to uphold. I could never be a dishonest or disrespectful person because of the way that I was brought up. I appreciate the way that I was brought up because I am an honest and good student because of it. Many other people do not act in this way because I think that they did not go to church as they grew up and their parents didn't lay down rules for them.
3.

To what extent are your own thoughts, attitudes, and perceptions responsible for the person you are today? I feel that the way that I act is a reasonably sensible way to act. I have a positive attitude and I think this influences people around me in a positive way. My perceptions are generally positive and I believe in having a good outlook on my life and other peoples lives. I'm generally the person in my group of friends who never shuts up and always tries to make everyone laugh a lot. I just like to be that person because it makes other people feel good about themselves.
