Who Am I? : Family Roots: Tracing Your Roots (Part 2)

Halloo! I’m back! Let’s go to the next topic which is Tracing Your Roots (Part 2)! I will show you the steps on how to trace your roots later after the topic. Okay let’s start…

There are plenty of ways to trace your roots. One of the ways to trace 

your roots is by making a “family roots” and ask your grandparents or parents the characteristics of each family clan. You can see whose clan you inherited your physical appearance, characteristics, personalities, and even mannerisms! You will also be able to answer the person who asks you “Who do you look like? Your dad or your mom?” Being able to know how much genes you got from your dad and your mom will make you look smart when you answer specifically like “I got 45% of Dad’s genes and 65% of Mom’s.”

My Mom got the mannerism of rubbing her feet when she’s texting, typing, writing and thinking. She got it from the Nunez side which is her mother’s side. Dad got the mannerism of rubbing his lips together before he talks or when his thinking of something to say.

We will use the “6 Steps of Scientific Method” to point out where your physical appearance and personalities really lies.

1.       State the problem – whose side I am more, father or mother?
2.      Gathering Information- Sketch your family tree/roots to find the last names of your great grandparents. (post link to picture)
3.                 Hypothesis-How will I find my roots? What are the characteristics of my clans? (post link to article)
4.      Experiment/Test the Hypothesis- I’ll lay out the characteristics in each clan to find out which clan are the characteristics that I got.
5.       Record and Analyze- Check and cross the characteristics that you got from each clan.

1. Formula:

         (total of characteristics of each clan) /45(overall total (Dad + Mom side) x 100 

    

j     6.      State the Conclusion- So what is the percentage of the genes that I got on both sides? I am…..

This is me…So I am more of Mommy huh?

Waaiiittt! This is not the end yet! This is just the end of the unit… Join me in the next unit titled “The Beginning and The Past”

Who Am I?: How Was I Formed?

*Jeremiah 1:4-5

“The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.’ ”

   

     The Bible says that God knew me before I was born. He knew about you and me before we were created by him.

*Genesis 2:7

“The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”

    

     God formed us from the soil and breathe into us the breath of life.

Did you notice that we were made from the soil and once we die, we are buried again in the soil? My Mom told me this and I was amazed in God’s design to us.

*Psalm 139: 13-15

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.When I was woven together in the depths of the earth…”

     

     Did you know that you were as small as a period (.)? You were like a cluster of tiny balls, then you looked like an alien, then you transformed into the way you look like now. 

  

    You grew your umbilical cord that is connected to your mom’s. You slowly took shape and out formed your fingers, nails, toes, ears, nostrils, mouth, eyelids, eyebrows, and other inner and outer body parts. And after nine months of waiting, out you came to meet your parents. 

     

     You are actually half of your father and your mother combined. You have distinct characteristics that you got from your father and your mother.

    

      Remember that God created you fearfully and wonderfully. You are a unique masterpiece in God’s eyes. You are distinct among others.
