He likes to make people laugh, spend time with his family, and play with the children of the family. He has a great sense of humor, and he just makes you want to be around him. He could pursue a career in entertainment.

Santrece Harris

I’m brown skinned, average height, and I have short brown hair. I have dark brown eyes, and naturally arched eye brows. I’m humble, and I like to try new things, like my aunt, Latasha, and I’m determined and self conscious like my grandmother. I have a strong interest in sports, and a sense of humor like my Uncle Lamar. I consider myself to be smart, like my mother. I get my love of children from my aunt, Lusion. Im literately in love with music, because of my stepfather, Michael.

My Self Analysis

I share the same skin complexion, eye color, and hair color with my mother, grandmother, and grandfather. I believe this is due to nature, because it's in our family genes to have these characteristics. I'm humble, and so is my auint Latasha. I believe I have this because of nurture, because when I was younger, she'd always keep me in the house.

My interest in new thing is also inherited from my aunt, Latasha, I belive this is due to nurture, because she pushed me to go outside of my limits, when I reached high school. I love to run track, play soccer, and play flag football, and my uncle Errol also likes to play sports like these too. I believe that this is due to nurture, because he encouraged me to play these sports, and just have fun. I get my sense of humor from my aunt Lusion, because I love to make people laugh, and so does she, I believe this is due to nurture, because when I was younger she made me realize the best medicine was laughter. I also get my love of children from my aunt Lusion, because she loves to babysit them, no matter the occassion. I believe this is also due to nurture, because we spent a lot of time together, when I was growing up and I was exposed to many other children in the neighborhood and family. My intellegence can be a nature and nurture thing, because my mother was a model student in high school; Good grades, Athlete, etc., but she pushes me to do my absolute best in school, so that I'll have a bright future. Both me and my stepfather are music lovers of the same genres, I believe this is due to nurture, since he's a dj and we spend a considerable amount of time together on weekends and holidays. Overall, Im glad of the person, I am because of the wonderful people in my life, and I wouldnt trade them for all the money in the world.

Nature Vs. Nurture

I think the nature-nurture ideal is more of a balanced relationship, when dealing with characteristics, because people are born with choices. In any situation, you have a choice, whether its going to Yale or going to the bathroom. Then, a person’s brain status can be a factor to the choices they make. So, there's no clear answer to which one is more effected, but for now the answer is "Both, but it depends on what you're talking about."

My grandmother, Josie, is brown skinned, portly, has medium length hair, and dark brown eyes. She has a bit of gray hair mixed in with her black hair. The smiles that she displays give most people the feeling of warmth, anytime they see her. She is a strong, determined woman, with a stroke of cockiness. She can also be envious of others at times, but she works even harder to be the best and have the best.

My mother, Catrina, is averaged height, slender dark brown complexion, shoulder-length light brown hair, amd dark brown eyes. She is a loving, caring, and straightforward woman. She is very intellegent, with a hint of wisdom in her personality. She loves to laugh, She's also an eccentric character and her overall attitude makes her a person, that you want to be around.

My grandfather, Felton, was tall, dark skinned, had shoulder length, black hair. He also had dark brown eyes. I don't know much about him, considering that we didn't visit him that much, but when we did, he was a nice person

My aunt, Latasha, is averaged height, fair skinned, light brown eyes, slender and short blond and brown hair. She is very silly, talkative and athletic individual. She is a fun loving person, who likes to meet new people, as well as spend time with her beautiful family. She gives off a motherly demeanor, and she acts as an older sister to some of the females members of our family. She doesn't let anything get her down, and her dancing is phenonmenal.
