Me myself and I

I believe that who we are is determined by whom we hang out with. Who you are around influences how you feel, what music you listen too, how you feel on certain subjects, so on and so forth. The people you around, are influenced by the people they are around (and on and on and on) and what they say or do makes you think in your own way. For example, who you hang out with could influence what you do, say you where watching television with your friends, and your friend got to pick the show, I myself have a friend who is very political, and we would end up watching Keith Olbermann, or just “Keith” as my friend calls him. Which did infact, end up turning me into a political person, and very interested in politics. Who you hang out with can end up making you think differently, which can lead to influencing other people. Since no one hangs out with the exact same people, this is what makes everyone unique. However, there is some level of control, because we can decide who we hang out with, keeping the power somewhat with us. And many times, who we are influenced by we cant get out of our lives, family, close family friends you may have to be around all the time, like it or not. I believe we know who we are by looking at everyone you are constantly with, friends, teachers, family, and finding the qualities in them that you can also see in yourself, therefore finding out who you are. What you believe in however, can differ from those around you, for instance, I myself watch the news every morning while I get ready for school, keeping me informed, and also changing and shaping my opinions. People we are around change out thoughts, opinions and ideas every day. Music is something I myself learn more about ever day on the way to school. Not being “the driver” I get no say in the music, so I get new music I wouldn’t have originally listened to. People we are around have a lot of influence on what we do in our every day lives, making us try new things, foods, music, and politics. Everything that people around us do makes an impact on our lives, even in very small ways, and by doing this; we impact other people in the same or a slightly different, or even a very different way. I believe that who we are is made of whom we know, and how they impact us, everyone is unique, but because of the people they know, personalities are acquired, not given out at birth. Who we are as people changes each and every day, simply because of what we do, see, and know.
