The things that influenced my personality the most is how my parents react to things. I learned a lot watching how things unfold in front of my parents. One thing i learned is that if somebody accueses you of something you didn't do you find that person and you and him sit down and figure it out. Do just get by be remembered, my grandpa told me that, he also taught me say what you want because alot of people will not. Doing these things have got me in a bit of trouble but it has made some pretty good memorize.

The movie that i found the most interesting is Breeze presentation. It broke down the chapter so i could easily understand, it was like having mrs zwickey walking me through the whole chapter. Some of the interesting things from this video i found are, the tests you can take that tell you your own psychodynamic perspectives. The inkblot tests sound interesting and i wouldn't mind taking the tests.
