Family Socialization

For my sociology homework I needed to do an interview with my parents and how they raised me. When doing these interviews I did not receive any amazing insight about myself. My parents did not have any extreme expectations before I was born, they only wished that I was healthy. After I was born they tried the hardest to teach me the values of the Buryat culture. Some of those values include having high respect for the adults in the family which includes grandparents, uncles and aunts. For them the most important tradition that I carry on is knowing the Buryat language. Unfortunately I never learned to speak in Buryatski so its pretty disappointing. I was an easy going child and they did not have a hard time disciplining me. From my mom I get a hardworking personality and the annoying habit of always trying to make finish tasks with the best effort I can. The habit of being overprecise is the most annoying one cause it will never stop nagging if I do not give the best effort I can, but if I am tired or sleepy that can be easily forgotten. From my dad and I get my driving habits at getting easily annoyed by bad drivers. Its not that I honk or make weird gestures at them but I do get very annoyed by them.

Reflecting upon my interview I did not learn anything more about myself that I did not  know before. My mom had a really hard time on expanding her answers from just a simple statement because I knew or I could predict what she was going to say.
