Identity is what defines us as a person. Everyone one on earth has their own unique identity. To showcase my identity, I created a collage of images and descriptive words, called an identi-kit. This identi-kit shows what I feel like is my identity to myself and the others. My identi-kit identifies me as a mixed martial artist. The identi-kit has images of a deadly shark with mixed martial arts gloves on that say mixed martial arts on the front and fight shorts with the words competitor and warrior on them. It also has descriptive words like “killer instinct” and “fight” which describe my spirit. There are three assumptions that come to question when asking about one’s identity. The first is if you were born with this

When asked if I had a background or identity that defines me,what automatically came to mind was my mom without a doubt.Yes I know, I'm sure you hear this a lot, kids talking about their parents and how amazing they are but I truly mean it and know that she is the reason why I'm pursuing my college process right now. I feel as if my mom made me who I am today. She carried me for nine months and went through all the pain and suffering that comes with having a child. My mom has always been number one since day one. She was the one who taught me to crawl, walk,talk,basically everything! When I was little and fell or when i was upset and crying my mom was always there. I can't imagine not having her in my life.

Arizona State University is one of largest university in this country, it has large population of students.

“The identity crisis….occurs in that period of the life cycle when each youth must forge for himself some central perspective and direction, some working unity, out of the effective remnants his childhood and the of his anticipated adulthood.”   Erick Erikson

Being an Asian American attending a highly lauded university I may be considered brainy, but at the university my intelligence is perceived based on my GPA and test scores. When I sat in my classroom I am surrounded by endless high caliber, intelligent Asian American students. I have never thought of myself as being highly intelligent or naturally gifted, but I do visualize my identity as someone who works hard to achieve my goals paired with a strong work ethic. It’s a challenge balancing school, work, and being able to take care of family as well. At the university my beliefs and work ethic aligns congruently, although at times I question whether I belong here. I was never a straight A student in high school, in fact when I was in high school

Nursery walls painted baby blue, the bedding a classic Winnie-the-Pooh print. Stroller and car seat covered in neutral plaid. Footed onesies in shades of white, yellow, and green. A long list of unisex names from which to choose. Sifting through my baby book, it is easy to see tell that my parents had no clue what gender their new baby would be. That is, until I came into the world in a flurry of activity and someone—probably the doctor—announced “It 's a girl!” My grandmother immediately went out to purchase something frilly and pink, the utmost in feminine attire, and thus my identity as girl was affixed.

Identity is who one is as an individual. It may include aspects such as values, goals, and ones everyday environment. In my life, values greatly impact my identity. Day to day our society faces my biggest concern, gender inequality. Even though female discrimination was abolished around (set date), it’s still happening today under our noses. From my point of view Stanford Medical School, my dream college, is a long shot; however determination is the key to success. My antiquated grandmother, who is a bit chauvinist, negatively commented on this ambition. “Why don’t you think of something else darling, us girls are not very good at that”, her comment proves my statement. Females are capable of accomplishing the same as men, ergo our society

Have you ever wondered what aspects creates someone’s identity? Identity is something that distinguishes someone’s character and what makes a person unique and different. The topic of identity is a very controversial topic and has many viewpoints and opinions. As more and more people have shared their opinions and joined the conversation about identity, people can start figuring out what their own opinion of identity is. It is important to realize that there are a lot aspects of identity that can change a viewpoint when looking at each different one.

Throughout the world everyone was an identity’s ether by culture or by other aspects that influence who you are. Amy Tan refers to her mother’s English as “broken” or “limited” because of people’s perceptions of limited English. I agree with her opinion, because of people’s judgment of English learners. There are several aspects that identifies me such as, culture, tradition, language, and specially religion.

Each individual's identity is made up of a number of elements ( Maalouf, A, 2000) and majority of these elements can include to a nationality, religious tradition, to a profession and many other things. My identity is made up of many elements as such as: my nationality, my cultural, my religion and gender.This essay will explore my life being a female and highlighting the fact of how women in India are treated so differently ( Pidd, 2012) in comparison to how women are treated in Britain .I will also highlight the importance of my religion,which plays a huge part in constructing my identity.

I like to think of myself as someone who would help others only out of the kindness of my heart. I want to believe this because it allows me to think of myself as a kindhearted person. Unfortunately, I am not able to be that kind of person at home. I am mostly sarcastic, rude, irritable, and aggressive around my family. Because of this, my family doesn’t think of me as a loving and helpful person. Instead, they believe that I am a coldhearted monster because of my “inhuman” strength and also because of how rarely I cry. Additionally, I get very grumpy and stubborn when I get yelled at to do something, which would explain why my family does not think very highly of me.

It takes courage and strength to know who you are, but even more to tell someone. Today I will be telling you about me and my identity. I would describe my identity as being a person who works hard for what she wants, and who tries to be nice but isn’t always. Personally I would label myself as a competitive swimmer, and a person who works hard at whatever I do. Other people might label me as a person who tries hard at what she does, but also can come across bossy. No matter what any of them think I will never change so that a person will like me.
