Recommended: Defining myself

I can define myself by relationships as a son, a brother, a grandson, a cousin and a friend. I can define myself by my jobs as a bartender, a construction worker, babysitter, busboy or caddy. I can define my self by my activities as an athlete, a student or a Frisbee player. I can define myself by my traits as hardworking, conscious, persistent, competitive, funny and at times stubborn. These are the pieces of who I am. What defines me is what I am willing to do in order to reach my goals. As I progressed through high school I slowly became more focused on what I wanted to achieve. Playing hockey at the best academic college possible became my goal. My freshman year ended with this being a long shot at best. My grades weren’t the

  • Essay About My Identity

    1058 Words  | 3 Pages

    A person 's beginnings do not completely define a person, but it does serve as a permanent foundation from which their identity is built around. As children, we absorb every sight and experience like porous sponges. Family, religion, environment, culture -- all of these aspects slowly form the background of one 's identity. As an Asian American, this identity is very different from that of a native Chinese woman 's, for I have parts of both cultures within me. It is a unique identity which I believes acts as a double edged sword. Being born into two cultures is a wonderful in that one can be a part of two cultures, but it is also a very confusing to be "divided" between two very different cultures.

Erikson’s theory focuses on how personalities evolve throughout life as a result of the interaction between biologically based maturation and the demands of society.

Coping well with each crisis makes an individual better prepared to cope with the next.” (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2013, p. 314) According to Erikson’s eight stages of development, I have only been through six of the eight stages.

Should I already know all about myself and what defines me, being that I am a new person who is trying to figure out what defines me through experiences and more to come?

  • Philosophy: Defining the Self

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I read through the Thinking Philosophically box in our text, the first question that comes up is, “What is a self?” It is wonderful to start off with an easy question, right? Well, Wikipedia defines the self as the subject of one’s own experience of phenomena: perceptions, emotions, thoughts ("Self," 2014). A standard dictionary definition is a person’s essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action; and a person’s particular nature or personality; the qualities that make a person individual or unique ("Oxford dictionary," 2014). Don’t you feel more enlightened already?

  • My Identity Essay

    “Perhaps it’s impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be” (Card). This quote from Ender’s Game gives the reader the impression that identity is just something they can wear and that they will become the identity that the impersonate. A definition of identity from the Oxford English Dictionary states, “The fact of being who or what a person or thing is” (Identity). This old definition entails that a person’s identity is just who they are. It is also heard that people say anybody can be anything they want to be. These two ideas put together create a definition of identity that means a person’s identity can be whatever they choose it to be. However, a person's true identity cannot simply be worn as a mask, so this definition cannot be true and must be changed. A person's true
