“How is it that you are dark and your sister is light in complexion” people will always ask me. They fail to realize that either my mom or dad could be light or dark. It happens that I look more like my dad. I think my mom’s genes are a bit recessive in me I guess. I have some knowledge of genetics so I know how it works. Apart from the looks we get from our parents, there are other traits we could get from them too.

I look exactly like my Dad but there are several traits I got from my dad. My Dad is Energetic. I got this trait from my dad. I hate it when I see people do things with no energy. People who are sluggish and do things so slow get me pissed. I would always say “Could you at least put some energy into your walking whenever I see someone drag their feet while walking.
When it comes to doing things, my dad would always pick me to tag along with him because we have the same driving force.
Another trait I think I got from my dad is being happy and staying optimistic. If there is one thing I love so much about my dad is that he is always happy. There are times he would have things not going well and then he would let you know that he is fine and he stays positive.
This trait is something most of my friends love about me. I prefer staying optimistic and happy, I believe there is always something to be happy about and that is one trait I got from my dad and I am ready to pass on to my children.
My mom is a very calm person, she rarely has a social life. She has few friends, maybe 1 or 2, unlike my dad who is extremely social and has lots of friends and acquaintances. This is a trait I took from my mom. Most times I say to myself that I want to build my social life then immediately I am in a gathering I start asking myself why I left home in the first place. I do not like this as most times I just want to stay comfortably in a gathering and have a social life without being shy.
I would love my kids to be social and not be shy so I will not want this trait to be passed on to them.
I am a selfless person, I love being kind and making anyone I come across feel special and that is a trait I got from my mom. My mom is a caterer and sometimes she just decides to cook and give out to those in need that is one thing I love so much and I am certain she passed this trait to me.
I would love for my kids to be kind to people and treat people how they would love to be treated.
