Explanation / Answer

Examples of shared influences that impacted me and my younger sister are having the same set of parents. growing up in the same household, going to the same school, and till a certain age, having the same circle of peers. However, there were also several non-shared aspects in our lives such as studying in different grades, learning from different teachers, attending different hobby classes, having different peer groups and many more. Since our father served the armed forces, our family frequently moved cities. Our shared environments enabled my sister and I to relate to each other and adapt to the changes we were experiencing. At the same time, we grew up to very distinct individuals with almost opposing personality traits.
