Whitman Poem

One of the first lines of Whitman's poem said a child becomes what it sees. In my case one of the first sights I must have had was of my father. Everyone says that I look like my older brother, Andrew. They also say that Andrew looks a fair amount like my father. Indirectly they also say that I look like my father. My mom once said that I even sound like my father. So in a sense, this short exerpt from Whitman's poem is half true. Not everyone becomes what they see, some like to stand out and be individuals.
