My race is African American. The fact that I am African American makes me act a certain way (but only because society), because I am African American I try to learn faster and better than everyone else. I also try to excel in everything I do. I also try to get into conversations I really know a lot about in order to sort of cover up the ones I don’t. I believe that African Americans are thought of as less studious than others, therefore I think I try to disprove that. I am Male. This makes me constantly try to prove my masculine to everyone around me. This make also makes me crave control. Having testosterone gives us some what of more confidence as opposed to females. I am 21 years of age. This age changes a person’s self-concept and behavior in this society. In this society turning 21 gives you more privileges. The main privilege that it gives you is legal drinking. This is something that most children/teenagers push to get too. This in some ways decreases your productivity for a short time. It also gets you to make more drastic decisions because you now see yourself as a complete adult. I am current enrolled in college therefore I have received some college education. This has helped me think and act more intellectually. Even though this has a drawback to it because unfortunately the more you think you learn and know the less you listen. I work at Bretton Woods Recreational Center. I am a caterer. My last job was aeropostale (clothing store). Both of these jobs are customer service
