Personal Narrative: My Real Identity
I love big people, they can be so cute. I remember when I first arrived. The bright lights, the welcome committee, with their ear-to-ear smiles beneath their surgical masks — magical — however, I did think the slap on the butt was uncalled for, but bless their hearts, they get so emotional.

People need lots of help and that’s why I was born. I’m a superhero in training. Shhhhhhhh…(picture me putting my finger up to my lips) My real identity’s a secret, and that’s why I wear this disguise (see picture above).

Did I mention I love cats?

I also love my mom and dad — they can’t speak baby-talk for crap, but they’re fun to watch… They try real hard. Anyway, I gotta go. I just filled up my diaper and mom needs to know. I get to practice my super,

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…

    Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. A question such as “who am I”? Really gives me the opportunity to differentiate and express who I really am and who I can be. I am not a complex person who thinks the world is against me, nor am I overly sophisticated “know-it-all” who doesn't take time to pay attention to my surroundings. I can't say that I am like every other person because there are certain things that make me a unique individual. What I can say is that I am progressing towards a brighter future.…

    They thought it was funny, we actually became friends. The third guy just asked me why I loved him and I responded “because you're a beautiful human being”, he laughed and said nice to meet you. We also became friends. The girl that asked me why I told her I loved her said to me “before you say anything I’m not lesbian” I was really amused because I wasn’t flirting with her for her to think I actually liked her and loved her. I was the one feeling more awkward I have to admit. I told her it was a social experiment I was doing for my sociology class and apologized, she said “oh okay cool” and walked away. That was one of the most awkward situations I was put in throughout the experiment. When I broke the social norm with my professors it was…

    For about as long as I could remember, my wish has always been to fit in, and be well-liked by everyone. I began acting a certain way that wasn’t me, and even began to lose my identity. I followed all trends and began to lose more and more of my identity as time chipped away. This all stopped as soon as high school began. High school was such a disquieting transition along with all of the new changes I’d be facing. New classmates, teachers, subjects, and responsibilities. I was now required to think twice before every move and concentrate on everything more adequately. All these changes made me begin to realize that I should learn more about my identity and do what makes me tranquil and content as a person.…

    In sixth grade, I stood before a podium that stared back at my English class. This was not how I envisioned sharing my love for reading and writing; however, it was required. My palms felt sticky, and I just knew that the entire class could see my heart as it was about to hop from the walls that kept it safe. I prayed that I would not forget the lines as I recited The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. In sixth grade, reading, writing, and I started a relationship. Today, we have yet to break up.…

    One of the most uncertain things that all humans face is their real identity. This difficulty has caused a lot of confusion on who we really are and how we become our own person. There are many different theories to how people can identify themselves, but one of the leading notions is the Identity Theory. This theory claims that people become who they are based on experiences and life lessons. They believe that one’s own experiences will cause them to shape how they will identify themselves. Following that theory, it is reasonable to assume that all experiences whether positive or negative will have a direct impact on your identity. However, some psychologists believe that negative memories or experiences will cause a much significant change…

    Culture is an important and vital component that defines who and what we are as a person. We interface with cultural difference on a daily basis. So what exactly is culture? Good Question! I will attempt to identify my own cultural and explain what cultural means to me. So, lets start by defining the term culture. “Culture is a particular society that has its own beliefs, ways of life, art, etc.”. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2015) My cultural identity consists of several parts. I am most foremost a female that has a variety of racial genetic makeup of African-American, Native American, and European descent. I was raised in a Christian religious household and in a primarily single parent home. I have a sister and a half brother on my father’s…

    I remember it like it was yesterday. I went from an area that was warm, dark and cosy to a cold, bright place. The transformation was not pleasant so there was no choice but to scream, cry, and curse. Jerking and trying to get away didn’t help because the men were to big. All I wanted to do was return to my resting place.…

    Social identity can be explained by social identity theory, and according to, Marsiglia, & Kulis, (2015) “social identity theory provides insights into how and why people choose to be part of one or another group and what being a part of that group means to them" (p. 103). In this aspect I will attempt to explain the three social identities that defines who I am today. First, I identify my gender as a man and how my male gender role was defined by the upbringing by my parent’s and society. Furthermore, how I was supposed to act and behave within the community by being a male from my family. Secondly, I identify as a husband, and how I perceived marriage and what I believed what and how a husband is. Lastly, I will attempt…

    I didn’t really like my name growing up. It didnt mean anything to me. No one had the same name, other than people in older generations. My name made me feel like an old lady. People would also assume that i went by Kathy, and i hated being called Kathy more than anything else. Kathleen is my dad’s cousin’s name. I didn’t really know her, and still don’t. If i knew her better, i feel like i would’ve been more comfortable with my name knowing who it came from.…

    A person’s identity is shaped by many different aspects. Family, culture, friends and many other factors that help shape a person’s identity, my family was the most influential part of my life that has helped shape my identity. I was born March 15, 1992, as Joshua David McLeod, son of Roy Louis McLeod Jr. and Michele Joan McLeod. I was the second child in this family, my older brother Ryan was born three years before me, I was followed by my sister Jordyn just over a year later. Growing up I never really thought about how my family or others viewed me. My identity and personality were shaped and molded by my family, but not all of it, I molded my own identity of who I wanted to be, even if I never become that person, I have my own idea of my…

    I would consider it quite a trivial matter if I were asked: who are you? I could of course answer the question without hesitation in elaborate ways, drawing elegant facts and examples from my experiences, hobbies, alignments, et cetera. I can do this, because I am the sole expert who has constant and instantaneous access to the library that is my endeavors in this world. But this response does not fundamentally answer who I am, merely give examples of what I could be (e.g. I am a member of the Homo sapiens species; I am Canadian). What is my true identity, which separates me from all others who also inhabit this world? A more precise question is how my self – whatever it is – is maintained across time: that I have some identity “A” at one instant in time does not automatically entail my being “A” at another. Therefore, it seems that to define my identity, I must first ascertain that I have a temporally continuous individuality. The appearance of simplicity clearly…
