From the first days of our lives, each and every one's family plays a very important role in defining the future grown-up's personality. It is the family who we look up to, from the very beginning of building a character. When they are very young, all the children tend to copy the behavior of their parents. Therefore, when the family does not have a proper attitude towards each other, no matter if the child is present or not, all this will later reflect on the mature personality of the child in question.

The first 5 to 7 years in the life of a child are very important in the defining of his or her personality. However, an even more significant role is being played by the education the child gets in school. Besides the various information he gets from the su bjects studied assigned by the school curriculum, the pupil will also learn how to behave in a wide range of situations. The most important lesson regarding the shaping of a personality is learning how to conduct oneself in a group of people. Perhaps most of the pupils have had no brothers or sisters and have turned out to be spoiled and selfish. They have not been taught to share things with other children and have no clue about working in a team in order to achieve the completion of different tasks. This is not a good picture to start with, but the reality can sometimes be quite cruel!

School is the place where we get the first guidelines for our grown-up lives. We can learn about team spirit and other interesting things, such as communication within a team and building relationships based on common interests.

Actually, we can easily state that the classes are replications of the teams we will later on work in, and, on the other hand, the teachers are our future mentors or employers. We are being taught about respect and responsibility, things that we could not have learned in our families. It is the nature of life to make us learn by passing through various environments, each of them having a dedicated role in the shaping of our personalities.
