Your values ​​form the foundation of your entire life. From early childhood, children are shaped by the people they are closest to, such as parents, siblings, and authority figures. These people teach beliefs and behaviors. Personal values ​​also develop through experience and environment. Each individual is uniquely shaped by nature and nurture. Our values ​​are something we develop throughout life; they can change over time and be influenced by our families, our culture, our religious beliefs and of course the media. Personal values ​​develop through experience and development, they impact our personal lives as well as our professional lives. Everyone adds their own meaning to life. You chose your own beliefs and values, but these three things have strongly influenced me throughout my life. Religion is one of the greatest forces that helped me become the person I am today. When I was only five years old, Temple Dordorim taught me to pray and introduced me to religion and I have been a devoted member of my temple ever since.

Weston has made me the person I am today through all the different cultures and diversity we have here, but it hasn't really shown me what life is really like in the real world. Everything here is almost too perfect. Weston hasn't shown me the challenges of life because it's almost too safe and too exquisite. Weston shaped me into an independent young woman and made me extremely family oriented. I'm grateful to have lived in such a nice and safe place like Weston, but I feel like I have this mindset of such a perfect place and when I move forward in life it will be difficult to adapt elsewhere. Living in Tallahassee will be a struggle at first, like adjusting to a new place and being away from my family. I will now have to learn to live on my own and I will have to become a successful person on my own. But that's a good thing. I will discover more about myself than I ever knew and I will continue to have the same ethics and values. But I will acquire more because there is a different culture here. My parents taught me so much
