Always remember that your past is
not what you are, but merely what made you who you are. I believe this is one
thing that is important for people to remember. Just because we are born into,
or get ourselves into bad situations, that is not who we have to be. We can be
anything and do anything we really want. I believe that statistics end up
making people feel that they will only ever be what they are supposed to be. Every
single day a new study comes out telling people that they are their past, and
that chances are nothing can be changed. The chances are high that you will do
the same thing. Just because a large percentage of people that share your
background end up a certain way doesn’t mean you have to end up that way as
well. Many times it is easier to let our pasts dictate who we are. It is often
hard to break a cycle, but I will not let it define me. At the same time we
need to accept that our background does make an impact on our development. My
biological father never cared to be around me, statistics say that I should
abandon my children as well. However I have decided that my past will not
decide who I am today. If anything I feel the need to be a better dad because I
understand how I felt and the things i struggled with.
