Tracking My Growth

The process of growing up is complex for every person, for there are many influential factors in a person’s growth as well as the development of his personality. As for me, what has affected me most in my growth are family and friends, the two equally important factors.

Family is just like fertile soil needed by sprouts for its growth. It plays a significant role in shaping my character, leading me to pursue unknown knowledge and explore brand new experiences. In most cases, those who are raised in a harmonious family tend to possess many pleasant characters and vice versa．

In the meantime, friends influence me in some other ways. Just as Voltaire, a great French thinker, said, “All the splendor in the world is not worth a good friend.” Friends are like beacons illuminating my soul and always give me in large quantities sympathy, joy and love when needed.

       Family offers me warmth and guidance．Friends give me strength and care. Both of them are most influential in my growth.
