Notes

What is identity? One of the definitions in a dictionary described identity as being the distinguishing character or personality of an individual. There are many characteristics that make up an individual, and what’s distinguishing to me, may not be distinguishing to you, and vice versa. What makes up one’s identity are the books and magazines one reads, the sports one plays, the people one hangs out with, and one’s whole life experiences. Looking at different videos I watched about identity and learned that some people look at others and judge them based on their skin color, race, or age. I saw how you can see someone in a magazine and think they might be someone that always wears make-up, eight inch heels and only wears designer clothes then you hear their story and see that’s not really them.

A lot of times people have an identity crisis, which is when you can’t figure your-self out, or when you act like someone who you’re not. Throughout your life you may experience hard times, trying to figure out who you are, you could try to act like someone you’re not, and end up lost in this big world. If it happens to you it’s okay because everyone who seem to have a perfect life might actually be lost trying to find themselves too. I to have gone through this in my life. Identity is a tricky thing to understand which is why so many people go through a crisis, but in the end, sooner or later you’ll find who you really are! In my life I have overcome many things some bad some good, but through it all I found my identity.
