Environment (nurture) is the total of the forces or experiences that a person undergoes from conception

to old age. It also includes family, friends, school, nutrition, and other agencies one is in contact with.
Almost all of my values and characteristics in life are a result of the people that surround me, my
environment, as the term implies. They are the ones who teach me all I need to know to grow as a
person.

My family, for example, was the first teacher who instilled in me all of the beliefs, values, and lessons I
needed to discern between good and wrong. They are also the ones who shape my characteristics, such
as being a nice and God-fearing person. As I develop myself, my friends have a significant influence on
me. They are the people who had an impact on me in many areas that I am currently interested in.
Teach me how to utilize and play computer games, just as my high school friend did. He is the one who
introduced me to the type of game that I now enjoy. My peers are also the ones that encourage me to
compete in a pageant. And it's because of them that I've participated in several pageants, which has
helped me build my confidence. I'm grateful because they push me to go beyond my limits.

To summarize, the current environment I am in right now had a significant impact on me as I continue to
grow as a person. It assists me in going through various changes in my life that have formed the
foundation of the person I am now. They are the ones that introduced me to the world and allowed me
to develop as a person.
