  17. Assignment- Journal Entry • Examine your present personality – what you like and do not like, how you react to things or people, what your habits are, etc. • Identify three or four factors in your childhood that have influenced your personal development and have aided in forming your present personality. These factors may be individuals, events, places, etc. • In 1 page, write about these influences and how you feel about them. • Include ideas that you as a parent or caregiver may do differently and what you would do the same with your own children or children for which you may care.
