Identity.

Identity is certainly a word that should not be taken lightly.  It is a word that truly shapes and describes what a human being is all about and how they are known in the world.  I believe identity is a word that is used to describe how a person portrays and views themselves in terms of their state of being- their personality, their interests, the feelings they experience, basically anything that makes them feel like the person they are.  For example, I perceive my identity to be a rather deep, yet fun one.  I certainly do usually not take myself very seriously and I am certainly a klutz at many times.  I love to meet new people and I am an extremely positive person who is usually quite cheery and bubbly.  I am always very out-going and friendly, however I do have days where I feel inadequate.  I am very proud of my accomplishments in my life so far, yet I have many goals that I would love to pursue.  Though I am mostly very loud and talkative, I have my days when I am on the quiet side as well.  I am also an extremely competitive person, which comes from my rich background in sports.  I love my family and friends and those are the people who really help to shape my life into what it is today.  Without them I would be lost.  It really is hard to self-describe one’s identity but how one views another person’s identity is often quite as hard.  I am not exactly sure but I believe that people would view my identity as one that is very happy and self-content.  They would probably perceive me to be goofy with my many “blonde” moments.  They would probably think me to be easily approachable since I laugh a lot and am pretty down-to-earth.  I am not entirely sure of what people view my identity to be but I hope they would view it as a positive one!  All together, the identity of one is really a complex subject to truly understand, but it really shows what a person is all about and how they are distinguished in the world.
