TRAITS I HOPE TO PASS ON AND THOSE I RATHER NOT

Behavioral traits can simply be put as what makes up a person’s behavior, those observable characteristics and features of a person that make them behave a certain way. They are mostly inherited or influenced by the environment; that is, they can be passed from a parent or learned by an individual from the environment.

The trait I will hate for my children to have from me is not being extroverted, meaning not being outgoing and sociable. I usually don’t find it smooth going out and socializing with others; I get bored and tired easily and faster, mostly when I go out with a group of fellows or in the midst of people. I’m usually unable to communicate well in a group, even when I feel I am the most informed amongst my peers.

I usually feel overshadowed and timid amongst a crowd. I can remember one time in my first year in school, it was in ACC 101 class where my group had a presentation to make in front of the class. I was the main person who wrote out the answers and prepared the work, but we selected another person for the presentation. Unfortunately for me that precious morning, I was selected by the Lecturer to do the presentation; that was how I could not say anything. She decided to ask me to speak on the topic of the cash book.

At first, I was like, "Cash book?" It felt like too simple a topic to ask me to speak on, and everyone in the class burst out laughing. When I was to speak, I couldn’t utter a word. This trait is one I will hate for my child to inherit or learn from me. I will want to have a child who is extroverted in every way, although not in excess, but will hate for my child to be like me in this aspect of my character.

The various traits I will love my children to pick from me are patience, honesty, creativity, problem-solving, and compassion. A child who is patient will not miss out on a lot of things in life; a happy life is for the patient one. A person who is not patient may miss out on a lot of things due to the lack of patience. An honest person is always truthful and sincere and will not indulge in deception. A creative and a problem-solving person is always wanting to know how things work and how to make things better; such a person is usually logical and has sound reasoning. And lastly, a compassionate person will turn out to be a great leader; a compassionate person cares for the needs of others and will be fit to be a great leader.

Apart from the behavioral traits, my children’s physical looks should be charming. I love kids who have an athletic look, not too fair in complexion, good height, and an intelligent look, having the perfect genotype and being healthy.
