My Own Personality And Identity

My identity has been formed over the course of my life, especially throughout my pre-teen years, in 2012, when my parents decided to split, and my mother went off to live with in Bristol. I have become a completely different person from when I was ten years old, because of the people in my life, such as my teachers, my parents, and my friends. I feel as though I have become a more well-rounded person, because of my experiences.

As far as identity and experiences go, I can easily follow how their effects mold my values and perception of the world. Many aspects of my education and childhood, for example, correspond pretty directly with general areas of privilege. I am White, able-bodied, and have always lived in relative safety. These are traits that I, and others like me, often take for granted, paying little attention to the societal structures that arbitrate them as advantages. Even among the places where my identity does deviate from dominant culture, many seem trivial within a bigger picture: born while my mother was in college, only one parent with a degree, a young childhood with much less money than I remember having in my later years. These, and many others, of course, had their impacts, but not on a scale that prepares me for bigger issues. In many ways, I have led a privileged life, and truthfully, this has made me apprehensive about whether I actually have any qualification that legitimizes me as an authority over countless students whose stories I can barely even fathom in the abstract.

They were once my insecurities and now are my strengths. Overcoming the criticisms and accepting who I am, despite social norms and the common perception of my abilities is what defines me today. Moving forward, I will continue to be strong, independent, and humble—demonstrating my true self-worth every step of the way.

The other biological aspect of my identity is that I am a cisgendered female. What this means is that I identify with the sex I was assigned at birth. I am a female, because of my biology. Cisgender is dominant over transgender, and I feel like this put me at an advantage. People who are transgendered have to struggle with issues that I’ve never had to think about, like being born into the wrong sex. As a cisgender person, people always use to correct pronouns when addressing me. I’ve never had to think about my sex or even be confused about it; I’ve just always known it. I know what is the proper bathroom to use and never get questioned for it. I’ve never had to make an effort to appear female. An article on gender presentation from Sjwiki, explains that: “because most people do indeed diagnose gender based on external appearance, many people, especially those who are misgendered often, make a conscious or subconscious effort to align their external appearance with that which will allow them to pass as the gender they identify as” (‘Gender Presentation, Sjwiki). I as a cisgender female have never had to worry about displaying myself as female.

Shatana Dalton was born on March 7 at the Women’s Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina. She grew up in a small country town not far from Greensboro, called Madison, in Rockingham County. Within this town, there was a smaller community named Goodwill in which she and her entire family was a part of. Goodwill was in reference to the church she went to every Sunday as child, Goodwill First Baptist Church. Shatana and her older sister played sports as recreation, well only one sport which was soccer. It was ironic that both Shatana and her sister fell in love with soccer since both of her parents played softball. Nevertheless, none of this information answers

Many things shape my identity, but there are three major things that make me different than anyone else. In particular, math is a enormous part of my life. Since third grade, I have been a year ahead in math. About eighteen kids, including me, were bussed over to Prospect in eighth grade to take math. Last year, when I was a freshman, I joined the math team; consequently, we placed 20th in the state. Programming is another substantial part of my life, because it is one of my favorite classes. In my class there are very few girls, three to be exact. I was able to work on an app, for Prospect, last year with a few friends in my class. Also, my friends come to me with app ideas or apps they want to have on their IPads. Finally, most of my life

A sense of self is a general conscious awareness of your own identity. I have come to understand the term as it is what defines me and makes me one of a kind. It could be a certain look, attitude or personality trait. It could also be the way I view a certain person, thing or subject. My sense of self could even be my purpose in life, perhaps? If it is, then I would say that my sense of self is something that has changed over time and will continue to develop as I get older and my life is influenced by events, places and people. Developing my sense of self is key to living a satisfying and healthy life.

My purpose is to show my individuality and to express myself. This is for others including myself, to see and to remind us that our identity is very complex.

Everybody has an identity, it makes them individual and unique, and it defines who you are as a person. This project about my identity showed me what makes me unique. I would have never known how much my friends mean to me or how my identities connect with each other. I have three identities that make me who I am, cultural, personal, and social. A specific quality that covers my cultural identity is being Czechoslovakian. Both sides of my family have at least a part of Czech in them. My great-grandparents are from Czech Republic and my grandpa was the first generation in America, he was born in Ohio. This is very important because I have always identified as Czech and it is a big part of me, as I am so interested in ancestry. For my personal identity, the biggest part is my personality, being loud and outgoing, has always been important to me. The reason being, it is how people view me. A lot of people know me as the loud person or the person who talks a lot. That is meaningful to me considering I like people to view me in a certain way The last identity, social, is one of the most important to me because it involves my friends, and through this project, I learned how vital they really are to my social identity. I realized that I have a good amount of friends in this project. It is nice to have people as a support system and to relate with. These qualities show that I value being loud and outgoing. It also says that I value my family and they are a big part of life. The last one, social, ties in with the first one because it shows I am outgoing and friendly.

Everyone in society has different identities that helps describe who they are. We all have different roles that make us unique and are influenced by occurrences that happen within the home and the environment. Some of our identities can make us stronger individuals or weaken us by being judged. My identities, however, have made me a much stronger person to achieve goals, wishes, and successes. In this paper I will go more in detail on how my identities made me become more thankful of where I come from and how my experiences from childhood to now shaped who I am. My culture has formed my understanding of how important the values and traditions done at home should not be forgotten. My generational status really has influenced my decision on the effectiveness of school and efforts to do well. My immigration status has really shaped my experiences specifically at home to be appreciative of what I have. I chose these three identities because they strongly define who I am as a human being. For this reason, the three identities that I will be describing are my culture, generational status, and immigration status.

They may even only take pictures of a precise part of them that they believe looks the best. Many of them also make faces that they think make them look more flattering. These girls’ ultimate goals are to make people think they look a certain way that matches what society says they should look like. I have also experienced girls taking pictures with certain lighting that makes their eyes pop or their hair look different. The other day, as I was walking down the sidewalk, I saw two girls taking a picture together. They snapped one and then said no I do not like that and went somewhere else where the light was better. So many people focus on making themselves look the way society thinks is good and go to great links to do so. On my own

Growing up, I was always the quiet and introverted child who had trouble in communicating with others. Basically, all of my friendships, from pre-school to senior year, were created from the other person taking the initiative to talk to me. My first friend, Alyssa, took on the responsibility of communicating to others for me when we were younger since she was much more outspoken. But starting this year in a completely new school, in an unfamiliar state, without having any friends or family was a whole new ball game. When applying to California schools, I only focused on being close to resources that would assist my future career in film editing. The idea of being all by myself did not really hit me until I was arranging my stash of instant noodles in the Pentland dorms. Anxious and lonesome, I knew that college would be terrible if I continued to stay solitary. I could not spend all of my meals in my dorm, streaming the latest uploads on Netflix. Therefore, I joined the Nikkei Student Union.

The idea of knowing who I am is one I’ve struggled with greatly. Frankly speaking, I am still discovering who I am. Are there moments that have taken place which have led me to be close to figuring out my “true self”? Indeed there have certainly been moments where I am closer to figuring out my “true identity.” One such moment was when I realized my happiness depended upon myself.

Personality is the characteristics that forms a human being through biology and life experiences. There is billions of people in the world and everyone has a different and unique personality. Everyone is judged by the personality that they carry whether is in a job interview or in a relationship. Essentially personality is what forms a person and helps to build relationships with other. The American Psychology Association, defines psychology as the individual differences in characteristic patterns of feeling, behaving and thinking. (“Personality,” n.d). Three main characteristics about my personality are high need of achievement, high neuroticism, and avoidant attachment.
