I am
It has been scientifically proven throughout time that there are not two of the same exact people in the world… Whether that be genetically or based on just looks alone. With that being said, it makes it difficult to truly find out who you are and people spend each day trying to figure it out. People aren’t too interested in genetics and finding out that much about themselves, but they are more interested in finding out who they are mentally, physically, and emotionally. Some people know who they are and I’d like to think I’m one of those people. Who am I?
I am a lover. My life whole life my Mom always told me to love freely, treat everything and everyone equally, and live life fully. It’s hard to go through life loving everything, which I have learned, however it isn’t as hard to treat everything/everyone equally and when you do this you will find that it’s not that hard to live life fully since you don’t have that negativity holding you back. That is how I have been raised and it has made me a better person than most. I’ve tried my best to never judge anyone and always keep my head up when feeling down and try to bring anyone that has theirs down back up, which in all honesty is a blessing and a curse. I say that because along with it making me a better person it always used to hold me back since I would always put others in front of me, however as time passes I have changed and realized that I need to focus on me along with the love I bestow on others.
I am a fighter. Along with everything my Mom had taught me, I can and never will forget everything my Dad has taught me. He has without a doubt made me who I am in every single way. As a 24 year retired Air Force war veteran, he has taught me to always be hard working, never let anything hold me down, and push myself to limits that I never thought I could reach. It has taken me my whole life to realize how important those things are, but with time

    People identify themselves by their colour, culture, language or religion. The identity goes back to generations and it doesn’t start or change within the individual. It is an evolutionary process where each person brings upon some changes. This is best described in Alice Walker’s short story, “Everyday Use”, where three characters, a mother and two daughters, are portrayed differently, each with its different qualities and philosophies on life that are often seen in generations.…

    Who am I? This is a question that many humans choose to ask and people may spend much of their lives unravelling an answer enabling them to understand their identity. Supposedly the people who find an answer that is satisfying and brings peace are in a good position to journey through life joyfully. People have a private self as well as public self that they show to the world. People are born with an innate sense of self, genetic inheritance and particular qualities that make up their character. Yet people’s identities are also shaped by their individual qualities, families and the culture that they are born into. The desire for or a need to belong or to feel connected to society is common to humans. Often it is affected by a person’s experiences and their sense of who they know themselves to be and the degree to which they recognise that they belong.…

    In the article, “Personal Identity” author Karl Perera he states that “Your personal identity is the way that you see yourself and is closely related to your self-image. It is very important to you because it will affect the way you feel about yourself and how you behave in challenging situations. Your personal identity includes: Who are you? What are your values? What is your physical identity (what you think you look like to others) also known as body image? The most important thing to realize about your personal identity is that it can be close to how other people see you in which case you will be in harmony with the world and others around you or it can be very different from how others see you and so you may feel you are misunderstood and you feel life is battling to make others appreciate who you are. “Some people think how they view you doesn’t have no effect on you but in reality it does. If you decide to judge someone it can ruin not only them, but their self-esteem, it’s best not to judge or look at someone differently because you view them that way they can turn out to be a totally different person. In my life I have been the person in the shoes of the person whose looked at as the total…

    I would consider this question not completely answered until my time here on earth is complete. Especially given the circumstances of my life at this moment, I'd have to say that if I were to die tomorrow, I would not be satisfied or serene with how things turned out. So let’s pray I have some time to reflect on my past mistakes, learn from them, and try to use them constructively in helping others so they don’t have to go through what I have during my twenty four years of living.…
