    I give the most credit to my family when it comes to who I am today. I am so privileged to have grown up with both a mother and a father. They each have been through so much in their lives, and luckily, they have passed much of their wisdom and life lessons onto me. They both have taught me right from wrong and how to be the best person I can be. However annoying they get, I can always be assured that they have my best interest at heart and only want what is best for me. The same goes for my grandparents. In particular, my Grandma Flo is one of the most independent, s...

  • My Personal Identity

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    A person’s identity is shaped by many different aspects. Family, culture, friends, personal interests and surrounding environments are all factors that tend to help shape a person’s identity. Some factors may have more of an influence than others and some may not have any influence at all. As a person grows up in a family, they are influenced by many aspects of their life. Family and culture may influence a person’s sense of responsibilities, ethics and morals, tastes in music, humor and sports, and many other aspects of life. Friends and surrounding environments may influence a person’s taste in clothing, music, speech, and social activities. Personal interests are what truly set individuals apart. An individual is not a puppet on the string of their puppet-master, nor a chess piece on their master’s game board, individuals choose their own paths in life. They accomplish, or strive to accomplish, goals that they have set for themselves throughout their lifetime. Individuals are different from any other individual in the world because they live their own life rather than following a crowd of puppets. A person’s identity is defined by what shaped it in the first place, why they chose to be who they are, and what makes them different from everybody else in the world. I feel that I have developed most of my identity from my own dreams, fantasies, friends, and idols.

    “So, Nancy, how are you holding up” asked the detective’s assistant, Taylor Brown. The detective, Nancy Key, only responded with an emotionless expression, “Taylor tell me the list of suspects. We need to figure out who did this to my parents.” A day before any of this is happening, Nancy found her adoptive parents lying on the floor, having been murdered. “Well according to this file our suspects are Grace Wesley.” Nancy’s eye twitched as she muttered, “Of course, first on the list.” “We also have Melody Key, Harry O’rien, Gwen Sherry, and Ashley Barton.” “Taylor what are the alibis of our suspects?” asked Nancy. “Grace had a family feud and wanted your father’s position, Melody was there five minutes before you found your parents dead, Harry

By now I was fed up with the thing and was only keeping it for revenge.

    Throughout the semester, I’ve learned many stylistic techniques and felt more confident and expressive in my writing. All my pieces in the portfolio revolve around my personal identity, which I had not intended in the beginning. I wrote about a significant childhood memory, a long lost beloved place, the topic of animal rights, and a consistent pattern I’ve noticed that has shaped my outlook on my life and on myself. These were stories that many people do not know about me, so it meant a lot that I could craft essays on these experiences and illustrate how they truly matter to me. In all of these essays, I wanted to convey vivid and genuine details to allow my audience to empathize, grow, and learn with me. Through incorporating forceful diction

That is what I thought my identity was... and thought it was the right thing to define me. Well, thankfully I figured out that was not my identity was. The moment I realized materialistic things did not define me was when my mom was battling ovarian cancer.

    What truly shapes you? Throughout ones’ life an individual may have many contributing factors that shape them into who they are and what they will become. In my life the greatest factors that have influenced me in what kind of identity I see for myself have been my race and heritage. -Being Mexican American in a location that is predominantly Caucasian is not an easy task, especially considering one lives in the most stereotypical place a Hispanic can live. For many years lived in the mobile home park, however considering the previous places I had lived in before it wasn’t as inadequate. There had been the one bedroom apartment, the small basement, and let’s not forget the single ten by twelve room. After having lived in such various and diverse places one begins to gain an appreciation for the little things. More than anything however, all the struggles I faced caused my ambition to grow greater and greater.

    For an 18 year old person I have been through a lot for my age, there have been many ups and downs that I’ve had to struggle through. There is one instance in particular that I can remember that helped shape me culturally to who I am today. In middle school we had a soccer team, and soccer for me is life, but I had one problem I was a slow player because I was fat and not really athletic. In sixth grade I tried out and I did not make it, seventh grade I tried out again still did not make it. Many parents and kids would point out that I was not good enough for the team and that I was fat (most people never really pointed it out but I knew they thought that). This event of not making the middle school soccer team for two years in a row really

    I identify as a sixteen year old Egyptian American high school senior. That’s quite a mouthful! For a large portion of my life, I attended a private school, NUIA, and at the beginning of fifth grade, they offered me an option to skip fifth grade and go to sixth. I immediately said yes. Although, when I look back now, the only reason I said yes is because the middle-schoolers had lockers, and I thought I would look cool if I had one too. This, along with the fact that I started school a bit early accounts for the age disparity between me and my peers. Although, quite often, I find myself behind my friends in sports and fitness, I more than make up for it in personality. When I ran for Senior class president(where I placed second of four) last
