Have you ever really though about what makes you who you are today? Are you born with traits that make you who you are or are you made of influences and experiences? I would have to go with the ladder. Everyone goes though life, watching, reading, seeing, experiencing, ect... It's our reaction to those who makes us who we are. If you were in a car accident do you think you would drive the same afterwards as someone who hasn't been in one? That's a pretty minor example but you get the point. I think that if someone else grows up as you, same name, same looks, but they live with a different family in a different state they will be completely different person as a result.
So what do you think? Anything to add or do you have a different view?

I believe I was made to be somebody and that I have a purpose to fulfill on this world. I've been given traits from birth but also some of my traits have been dimmed or sharpened or even gained because of some life experiences and that's m=what makes me the unique person I am today. I also believe that the people around you, especially your parent have a huge influence on you because they raise you and your attitude can depend on your parents a lot.

It's probably where I go and where I live that has the most influence on who I am. I have OCD as well and I think that plays into it as well. When I was younger, my parents controlled me because I didn't know better. I appreciate them for doing so because I'd like to think they molded me into a decent person.
