In appearance, most people say I look like my dad and his mother (my paternal grandmother). They say my eyes and smile remind them of my father. In personality, I can say that I have traits from both my mother and my father. My mother is very careful, detail-oriented, and organized. I think I inherited these traits from her. However, my mom is also very cautious and doesn't like to try new things. I am not like her in this area. My dad is more active, adventurous and handy. He has always liked to hike, jog, and swim. Even at 82 years old, he still jogs in the park almost every evening! When we went on family vacations, he would always want to visit everything he possibly could in the area. He is also very handy. If anything is broken he always wants to try to fix it himself first before calling a repairman. I also like to exercise when I can. I love to visit new places and try new food. Sometimes I can fix something by myself, but my dad is much more skilled than I am. My dad, unfortunately, has many food allergies. I'm glad I'm not like him in this area! I enjoy eating a variety of food.
If you have children, in what ways are they like you?
Of my three children, I think my middle daughter is most like me. She is very organized, logical, and disciplined. Her skin is also similar to mine. She tends to get freckles easily and has to be careful of the sun. My oldest and youngest daughters are more carefree and careless. They prefer creativity to structure. They are similar to some members on my husband's side of the family.
