One can direct to their own change and even then it's them following the direction. Genetics only influence they do not have more control over our will.

Suppose at 5 years old, André Roussimoff dreamed of being a champion jockey. Even though he showed early signs of gigantism he still gave his all to achieve his dream. Unfortunately his size became too great and the dream was over. Did genetics or will have more control in the outcome of Roussimoff's dream? This example shows that the outcome of free will depends on genetics.

And I was raised in the ghetto and hang out with hoodlims and I am not one. I also have a mother who is not present emotionally creating loads of issues in myself. I didn't grow up to have a criminal mindset. I'm not one to shy away from showing affection or not am I void of emotion.

Criminal behavior is linked to two genes. Maybe you didn't inherit those genes while some around you did or you had better upbringing despite your mother not being present emotionally.

Again both are influences. and still are under our own personal will. That is only once we realize we have control.

We do have a certain amount of control but unfortunately genetics and upbringing will set the path in life. One horror I witnessed at an early age, was my young cousin being dropped on head by one of his older brothers. While his 3 brothers all had normal lives, went to college, and got married.
He had no issues before but since had struggled in life, he always complains about being lonely, never went on a date etc. Do you think the life he is living was his personal will or did his upbringing set his path?
