When we think about what shapes who we are, it's interesting to consider nature vs. nurture. Let’s look at both sides with some examples from my own life and the people around me.

1. Nature:

   • Our genes have a big impact on our identity. For example, I have my parents' eye color and some of their personality traits.
   • Some research shows that things like intelligence and skills might be passed down from our parents. This makes me believe that nature plays a big role in who we become.

2. Nurture:

   • On the other hand, the environment we grow up in also affects us. My friends and I often talk about how our families, schools, and cultures shape our interests and beliefs.
   • Trying new things like traveling or exploring hobbies also helps us grow and learn.

In the end, I believe it’s a mix of both nature and nurture that makes us who we are. Nature gives us the basics, while nurture adds the details and colors to our lives. This balance is what makes each of us special!
