Nothing effects who you are like your family does. Parents who you often wish you were least like are often the people you unconsiously model yourself after. Big brothers and sisters often provide role models that we intentionally try to imitate. Through these means and countless other subtle ways our familys often provide our sense of self. They are our first exposure to our culture and traditions.

... my father, raised in San Fransico during the forties and fifties.
