I was born at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in San Francisco, California. I get most of my physical
traits from my grandma, and also from my grandpa. When I was getting older, I would get
random strands of golden hair from my grandma on my dads side. But I have the hair texture
from both of my parents, which is coarse and thin. And I got my height from my grandfather from
my moms side. I also tend to act like my grandma. In being caring and generous towards
others. One moment I had with myself was when I didn't wear a jacket when it was really cold
and I regretted it so much. I guess I'm an integral part of my family because I am part of
something and their lives would be pretty boring without me. I feel I'm more shaped by nurture
because my environment has always been quiet and uneventful. So for being really quiet, it
takes a ton of confidence for me to speak out in class or even doing a presentation

This person is my mom. We don't really share any physical or behavioral traits. One funny event
that recently happened was when I was showing her the Snapchat filters and she was looking at
herself and almost broke my eardrum, but it was a good time. She is the most important person
in my family and in my life because she cares and always thinks about others. She is the actual
glue the hold my family together. Even though we both have depression, we would both look on
the bright side and keep on going. She is most likely shaped by nurture because her mother
wouldn't care about her other than my uncle. The only person who was there for my mom was
the maid. The maid would care for her and show my mom things that my grandma wouldn't care
for to teach her.

The role this person plays, is my dad. I don't have much physical traits with him, but I do have
some. One trait we share is our hair texture. I don't act much like my dad in any way. One
memory I had with him was when we both went out by the city. We were both freezing but, we
had a fun time together. My dad is an integral person to me because, he would always tell me to
be strong for myself. He would also tell me to dress correctly for the weather. He is shaped
more by nurture because since he was in the police force and was also a firefighter, he grew up
knowing the protection was the best force to have.

This is my oldest brother. From a physical standpoint, we don't look much alike. Sometimes my
friends use to think that he was my dad when hed pick me up. I act a lot like him. And it's only
us that are the weird and crazy ones. I would make different noises and he would do the same.
We would call each other, Bro, and Sis at random times. He is an integral part in both my
family and I because since my parents aren't into technology, he teaches all of us. And out of all
my siblings, he's the only one who is nice to me. He is shaped by nurture because he was also
in military school, and that helped him be more disciplined.

The role this person plays is my second brother. I don't really look like him in any way. I act
more like him from being a procrastinator and being persistent. A memory I have with him was
when he was at school and he said he, Loves me, and he only does that to bother me. He is
important to my family and only sometimes in my life. He would mostly go out with his friends
than staying in. He is mostly shaped by nurture because my dad taught him that violence was a
good thing. And that would teach him to be more manly.

She is my younger sister. We look a little but alike. She has the almost exact face of when I was
younger. I don't act much like her because she born when I already knew things. If we were
alone together, I would walk out the door with scars or even bite marks. She is a vital part for
both my family and I because she's the smallest of the bunch. She's shaped by nature than
nurture because she gets angry easily and it's very similar to my dad's anger.

This is my uncle from my mom's side. I don't really look or behave like him. There was one time
where he made me dance at one of my other uncles wedding reception. He isn't such an
integral part of my family, only because we would often get visits from him - since he lives down
in Florida. He's shaped more by nature because he act a lot like my grandpa. As, he would be
very generous and calm like him.

This is my grandpa from my mom's side. The only part we look similar in is where I look more
Chinese. But I don't act much like him. He would come over to my house and he would bring
either food, red envelopes or even both which is more common. He is essential to my family and
I because he cares a lot for me and my siblings which I like about him a lot. I think he's shaped
more by nurture since his friends and his family always helped him with his personal struggles.

She is my grandma. We don't have similar looks, but we just share our hair texture from my
grandma's grandfather, which is coarse since he was African-American. I also don't act much
like her. We would drive towards the Westlake Plaza to get food. She would get Chipotle and I
would get Nations. She is important to both my family and I because she would either bring over
food or take my siblings and I for a trip around town. Not sure if she was shaped by nature or
nurture because she wasn't here for the project.

This is my grandfather from my dad's side. I don't look or act like him in any way. He died before
I was born.

This is my grandmother from my dad's side as well. They say I look and behave like her. I know
that I have some gold strands of hair from her because she had light hair and or because she or
so someone else was German. I don't know how I act like her because she died when I was 2.

Chincha, Peru
He is my uncle from my dad's side. I do not look or act much. We were playing Sapito,
(Froggy?) a traditional game in Peru, and he was encouraging me to win from my other uncles.
He is not really as important to my family and I since he lives in Peru and we live up here. We
mostly get to see him and my family over summer break.
