Sometimes a person may feel that they have no purpose in life. Finding out who you are just takes the time of sitting down and thinking of the importance in your life. Who am I? I am Mercedes Kimberly Kingston, and I am a person with different personalities, characteristics, and identities. The many ways, in which I identify myself, in fact, are the ways that define who I am. My Identity is something only I can fully define. I have a little brother, which makes me a sister; I have two loving parents, which makes me a daughter; I am in college studying medicine, which makes me a student; and I have wonderful friends in desperate need of support, which makes me a wonderful best friend. Before anything, I am a big sister to a wonderful little brother. I would almost consider him my son, because without him, I would be nothing. I live my life for him, and because of him. Sometimes I feel like giving up on school because at times, it's too hard and too much for me to deal with. Then, I think, what kind of role model would I be If I quit. I am only telling him that's its ok to do it. And nowadays, most males don't usually get far, and that's usually because they quit everything that they do. We don't live together, and that hurts me the most. He lives with our mom, and I live with my dad. His dad isn't in his life, and that hurts me. He doesn't have a male figure to look up to, so I play that man. When we do get to hang out, we play football, videogames, and burp; guy stuff and I love every moment of it. Some say that student life is the golden life but nowadays pressure of being a student has diminished the fun part of being a student, especially for me. The pressure of being a student includes class work and lot... ... middle of paper ... ... some time off from school to get her mind right. Or, like my other best friend Andrea. Me and her are like peas and rice. It just seems that all the things that she experiences are things that I'm going through now, or that have already happened to me. Like many girls, she has issues with her boyfriend. But I believe, with my support, she has learned to deal with it, and I believe that she has such a great handle on it. My friends have told me that I am very understanding and supportive, and I believe that those two words couldn't describe me any better. In the end, no matter what may be said about me, I know that I am some what of an abstract project. I continue to grow everyday and discover new factors that define me. I know what I stand for. I love myself, and the people around me. They don't create me, or make me who I am, but they do help be define myself

e. Tala - There's always a purpose to your life. You live for the same reason the way that some people die for some reasons. Where you are today is a combination of all your past actions, decisions, as well as those of the people around you and how they have affected
It is a difficult and long process to find yourself. Erickson tells us that is is a natural stage in life to question who you are. Everyone goes through it, regardless of age, sex, race, or time. Take Chang Yu-i for example. She pulled good experiences in her life, such as having unbound feet and getting some education, and used them to help form who she was becoming But she also took the experiences she did not like, such as discontinuing her education as such a young age to get married, and accepted them as part of who she was. She grew up strong, and eventually became her own person.
I consider myself an ever evolving individual, the toughness of skin gets thicker with ever difficult situation.

Who i really am? I think that everyone thinks about that. Everyone thinks different about themselves. Also teens are the ones that mostly think about this because they are getting out of high school and some don’t know what to do when they graduate. I think about the same because i don’t know what to do when i graduate from high school.
The search for one’s true identity is a difficult journey. One must track their ancestors, research their heritage, and correctly synthesize all of their gathered information into that specific identity. This journey is especially hard for African Americans whose ancestors were stolen from their native land. They have a desire to reconnect with their origins; however, their search is often hindered due to the fact that their ancestors were stolen. In an attempt to reconnect with this lost heritage, many African Americans in the 1960s and 1970s participated in the Black Nationalist Movement where they were able to claim a general African identity. This search for identity is shown in “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker. Through her text, Walker highlights two perspectives on true African American identity: those who understood and accepted their identity as an African American and those who desired to know their African ancestry. This idea is supported through various sources including scholarly journals, critical articles, and educational Internet web pages. In Alice Walker’s short story, “Everyday Use”, Walker uses characterization, themes, and symbolism to show that the differing perspectives for true African American identity caused a disconnection in African American heritage during the 1960s and 1970s.
As I’m sitting here typing this, I thought this assignment would be easy but it’s not. How do you explain who you are in a paper? Where do I begin? Well, for starters, my personality, ambitions, and what I love doing should be the best standard for defining my character. One should never be anxious if they do not know everything about themselves, as we are constantly learning and discovering new features of ourselves. Personally, I am satisfied knowing my friends are worth it and consider me an asset. I’m the shortest one in my group of friends which puts me somewhat the end of the ladder. Someone might judge me just because of the way I look or act but, if they could just get to know me even more and see my personality they can see me in a whole new way.
When it is time for me to fill out any form that asks me to check my ethnicity I become confused. My confusion comes from the difficulty of not finding my ethnicity on one of the boxes and the assumption of others who sees me differently. The assumption of me being either from India or Bangladesh becomes an astonishing revelation when I say that I am not from either country. I identify myself as Guyanese Indian. I was born in Guyana by native Guyanese parents. However, my grandparents and great grandparents originated from Kolkata India. They were slaves who worked on sugar plantations in India and then transported to European colonies to continue their work.
“It’s a blessed thing that in every stage in every age some one has had the individuality and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.” The part of me that sums up my identity best is not the adjectives given by family, or the faults I find in myself. My identity is my desire to better myself, and my passion for children. My identity is who I want to be and what I do to accomplish my goals My identity is the feelings and emotions I pour into my journal every day, and the way I feel when I do something right. My identity is not what others thing of me or what I think of myself after a bad day. My identity is the love and confidence I have in myslef, and the beauty inside.
Walking into a room full of people I have known all of my life, I find
I am nothing to many, and everything to some. I am a failure to a majority, and a success to a minority. Throughout life, many people go about never truly knowing who they are, whether this be spiritually, mentally, or physically. This lack of knowing often originates not from the fact that they do not know what they have done, but from the fact that there are just too many aspects and ways of looking at your life to truly know who you are. While some people may see you as just the events in your life, some may see you as the clothes you wear. If you consider knowing who you are to be the sum of what everyone else sees you as, then by definition it can never be discovered. However, in the end, all that truly matters is who you believe you are,
