Keet's strongest traits

Balance 

When I talk about my identity traits, I think one of  my strongest traits is ascribed  for the reason that I was born with it and it's the things that I couldn't choose and I have the ability to do many useful things because of it.

When I was in grade 5, my mum used to send me to kumon, a maths tutor school. I had tried, but it came to nothing. Also at that time, I studied English with my Persian teacher. I can talk and write, which is different from maths and science, and that's the time that i know that my left brain side is not perfect for me, and after my mum knew about it, my mum gave all of the kindness of dedicating her heart to send me into an English tutor school and I enjoyed it so much.

I also have the thought that my second  strongest traits are achieved after I sat down and figured out that ascribed and achieved  work in tandem for the reason that If you only had the strongest ascribed and you did not fight for it   (achieved) it's not balanced. 

In conclusion you have to balance these  all together: ascribed, achieved, and chosen traits. It all works in tandem.

    Keet, thank you for agreeing with me. Although your classmates have different ideas, I also think that our ascribed traits are the strongest factor that determines our identity. I think our reasons are also similar. It is because we "couldn't choose and [them but] have the ability to do many useful things because of it" that I agree with you that our ascribed traits are the strongest part of our identities.

    As you can see in my own essay below, I don't disagree with your classmates who think that achieved or chosen traits might be the most important to us, but that's not the same as being the strongest, is it. I like the way you state and support your ideas on this challenging question.

    And I'm wondering how your classmates will respond to our different opinion and reasons.

      Note about "quotation marks": in my response to her essay, I copied and pasted, with [a couple of changes], some words from Keet's essay. It's perfectly OK, and is common, to copy and paste from a piece of writing you are responding to, but every time we copy and paste, we must always, every single time, put anything we copied and pasted from any source in "quotation marks" so that readers know they are the words from a source.

      And it's also important to check that the sentence with quoted words is grammatically correct. I mean, if you took out the quotation marks, would your sentence be grammatically correct? This is the reason I [changed a few words]. Use [brackets] to tell readers you changed the words inside the "quotation marks", and change as little as possible.

      You might like to practice this as you respond to the ideas in your classmates' essays on our identities.

    I got your idea that your strongest trait is what you born with. Your example about potential of left and right brain reminded me of the fact that most engineering students do not good at English. LOL
    Yeah. This is only based on my experience so I used the word 'most' to not generalize or steryotype them.
