Some of the different roles I play in my life include a student, a teacher, a assistant vet, and a nurturer. We act differently because of the people around us. We feel more comfortable with other people and the setting we are in.

Different roles I play in my life are brother, son, and athlete. We as people just want to fit in and if changing how we act will do that for us we will do it.

I play many different roles throughout my life such as brother, son, and teammate.I think the reason we act differently around different people is because we are trying to please everyone or impress the people we are around, when the truth is we can never amuse everybody.

Michael Petroni

Though I go to school most the time in my life, I also play other roles as an individual. These other roles include being a older brother to my younger siblings as well as helping out people in need. We act different in different situations because sometimes acting one will get you into a lot of trouble.

I play the role of an older and younger sister, as well as a good listening friend. People act different around people because they want to feel like they belong or the to match the vibes of the people.

The role I play are son, brother and student athlete. The reason we act different around different people are to fit in to the situation better and try to fit in or make good impression.

The roles I play in my life are daughter, sister, friend and student. People act different around certain people because they feel like they have to fit in. People feel more comfortable around certain people.

1/19/2022 12:22:20 pm

Roles I play in life would be around family, friends, and colleagues. I'd say its all about comfortably around these groups to show your character in every situation.

This is a true statement. We live by roles and play the game. We follow the guide lines of our play in our fates. Some of our stories are tragic and deep other are joyous and love stories but we all have high points and low points in our lives making the climax, the climb, the decline and the fall. We have those 4 properties in our lives all through fitting a story. Our experiences are stories to share and learn from. Our lives a play.

Roles I play would be a role model in front of my siblings, a responsible person in front of my parents and a good friend in front of my friends.
