The genetic factor that makes me who i am is the brown color of my hair. When I was younger My hair was such a dark brown that most people thought it was black. My eyes are brown and that really helps with who I am and what my face looks like. Growing up I always wanted blue eyes because I thought brown looked weird on me, but over time I grew to like the color and realized that my eye color and hair was from my moms side.

Something that helps my physical environment in a positive way is going for a walk and sometimes going for a bike ride. I like the feeling of the wind on me. I used to like running but over the years I've experienced some chest pains. Going for a bike ride is a good way for me to get exercise and I'm able to go places on my bike. Skateboarding is also a fun activity I like to do when I can't ride my bike. Doing some sports for fun is something else I like to enjoy. Growing up I would always play basketball with my dad or someone in my family and I got really good over time until I stopped playing for awhile.

Something that negatively impacts my physical environment is I think going for a run. If I go for a run it will most likely lead to some chest pains. Over time the pain grew and grew so I can no longer run how I used to. Sometimes going for a bike ride can be bad for me but it just depends on how long it is and the pace I'm going. If i'm going fast on a bike ride and my destination is kinda far then i'll probably be taking some breaks.

Culture Environment

My culture for my family is Hispanic. For me I prefer to do some art and listen to music and sing. Growing up I tried to speak Spanish for the Hispanic part of me. German is also a part of me with a bit of black foot indian that's from Nevada. German was a bit harder for me to learn than Spanish. I also have Caucasian which is another word for white. The Hispanic in me makes my features like my eyes and eyebrows darker and i guess my hair too.

Social Environment

positive part of my social environment that is positive is the people I hang out with. If they have a good vibe and aren't so quick to judge then they're good for my social environment. Having that one close friend also helps a lot when you are dealing with stress and have a lot on your mind. Making sure the people around you aren't negative and support you and what you do is another great part for a positive environment.

Technological environment +

One thing that helps with my technological environment in a positive way is the reminders that i'll put on my phone to take my medications. Another thing about my technological environment is that when i'm stressed, I can scroll through funny videos and sometimes it'll ease my stress. Being able to talk to friends even though they are further away is another positive thing for my technological environment.

lifestyle factor +

A positive factor in my lifestyle is probably the way I act and how happy I am with others. Another thing is that on the weekend I like to sleep in and see some friends. The people who I hang out with is also apart of my lifestyle factor. My friends are there for me most of the time in my life and I think that helps a lot with the choices I've made. Sometimes playing basketball or some type of sport for fun helps because then my mind is focusing on that and not stress or something else. Photography is also a huge part of my life because I like to capture those beautiful moments and look back at them in my camera roll. Music is another part because ever since I was little I would sing to songs and now I'm in choir and I find a lot of peace in music.

Technological Environment -

The negative parts of my technological environment is probably how much time I spend on it. The amount of time spent on technology can be bad for your eyesight. This happened to me once and I had to wear glasses for a couple weeks after school to help with it. sometimes technology can make you lazy.

Lifestyle Factor -

The negative parts of my lifestyle factor is probably how much stress I let get to me. When I get stressed That can lead to anxiety. Sometimes it also lead to chest pains. I used to hang out with the wrong people and I didn't always feel comfortable with them, so that's another negative part of my lifestyle factor. Sometimes my anxiety will get so bad to the point where I feel like I can't breathe and focus, then that'll lead to a panic attack because I can't breathe.

Friends lifestyle factor +

A lifestyle factor is that I'm always a caring person and because of that i'm always asking my sister how she's doing. My sister is a caregiver. Genuinely asking someone how they are and making sure they are okay can be a big help. taking the time and listening to others can mean a lot to the other person also. Sometimes people just need someone there with them even if they don't want to talk, like just having company around.
