Most people act or look like their parents. This is very common for people especially since there are phrases like, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Personally I think I have a lot in common with my parents but I also have some things that are different from them.
I get my smile and eyebrows from my mom. Almost everyone points this out and she does too. Another thing I get from her is that she's smart. We both always got good grades in school and always were good at figuring things out like puzzles or riddles. Something that I didn’t get from her is my height. She is 5’4 while I’m around 6’1 or 6’2.
Some things I get from my dad are my height, humor, and athleticism. My dad and I are almost the same height as he is 6’2 and I’m right under him. A lot of people say I was lucky I got his height which is funny but also kind of true. Both my friends and my dad's friends say that we are pretty funny so I’m happy I got that from him. I also get my athleticism from him. He used to play Basketball in high school and college and I do now. When he was young he could jump really high which I definitely got from him. A way we are different is that he is more extroverted than I am. I’m a lot quieter when people first meet me than he is.
Some things I get from both of them is my personality and my work ethic. There’s a lot of personality traits that I have in common with both of them. They both also work really hard and I work really hard too. Some things I don’t have in common with either of them is that I like different foods from them and I have different hobbies like reading and playing video games. I’m glad I got some of the traits I did from them however, I’m also glad I got some of my own to make me more unique.
