family`

I believe that we learn the most from our family. This is because they are the ones that raise us from the day that we are born until the day that they die. We learn our first words by listening to parents talk and we learn how to feed ourselves, how to walk, and how to communicate with others. They nurture us until we are old enough to be on our own. As we read about, the kids that grew up in the orphanage were very isolated and didn't have good communicating skills with others. The more loved and cared for you are the better off in life you'll be. We are taught our beliefs and values from our parents from a very young age so that we follow and live by them as we grow older. They also teach us latent lessons, ones we don't even realize we're being taught until someone says something about them. That would be like the way Sal described his stance which he never realized was his father's smoking stance. I thought that was weird not to know that you stand the exact same way as your father, which is kind of uncomfortable, I tried it. I believe that our family is the most important thing that shapes us.
