I believe in....

I believe in Determinism with the opportunity for change. I enjoy live music because all my life i grew up in an environment with people playing instruments. Because of that, I will most likely pick acoustic songs over songs full of amplifiers. I want to go to college. I think a lot of this was influenced by my parents saying all my life "Sydney, you will have so many more opportunities if you go to college." I have brown hair because both of my parents have brown hair. I'm naturally skinny because i inherited my moms high metabolism. When I'm older, I'll probably get cancer checks more often because it runs in my family. All of these aspects, everything I've encountered as a child, has made me the person i am. I believe in determinism because the foot prints left on us as children are eventually the adults we will become. With this being said, you don't have to follow the foot steps and ultimately create the exact same environment for your children. If you were raised dirt poor, you don't have to stay dirt poor and that's where your will comes into play. The effects of being poor will forever shape you, but you can rise above the past generations and create a new version of determinism for the next generation to make their own.
