I think the events that would change my life the most if they were removed are wearing the headscarf and having a little brother. I say this because wearing a headscarf comes with more than a change in what I wear but it also comes with a change in mannerisms, without it I don't think I could be as modest and respectful as i am now. And my little brother has given me responsibilities that I wouldn't have had without a younger sibling, which could definitely shift my "mom-like" personality.
-
My future seems to be more on the fixed side. I have a specific time to do everything. I wouldn't even think about taking a gap year because it would mess up my whole schedule. I want to get married, have a kid, and graduate all at a specific age. I tend to think a lot about what would happen if I didn't get things done during the year I wanted them to happen.

I think that the past events that are part of my life play a role in the fact that I matured at a pretty quick pace. Having a little brother gave me opportunities like watching over him and having to help my mom out around the house more. Having to move schools forced me to adapt and wearing the headscarf is also one that matured me quickly. Based on my future events you could say that I think I have things all figured out.
