My Inherited Traits
Blonde Hair
My mom is blonde, and my dad was when he was younger. (It turned darker as he aged)
Tallness
Both my parents are tall. Well not really. My mom is about 5'7 and my dad is like 6'2. But most of my family is tall.
Athletic
My dad was very athletic as a kid/teenager. So was my grandma.
My Acquired Traits
Swimming
My dad is very athletic and we all love the ocean and the pool so it was natural my parents put me in swim lessons when I was little. My parents think I might even be part mermaid.
Basketball
Like I said before my dad and my grandma were very athletic as kids/teenagers. The one sport they all played was basketball. I cheered for basketball and the next year I wanted to play it. I've been playing it ever since. (6 years)
Reading
My mom was a reader. But I never really read, until kindergarten (that I can remember) I was ready 7th grade books in 4th grade.. I learned to read, its very important that you do know how to read anyways.
