My identity can be defined by moments in my life. Moving to Canada, learning English and going to high school are three major moments in my life. Going through these experiences have changed the person in me and made me more confident, stronger, better in everything. Moving to Canada is a big challenge to me because I know almost like nothing about this country. Moving to Canada is mean that I have to leave everything behind including my family, my friend. It help me became stronger because I no longer living in the family protect. I will have to start walking on my new road where nobody with me. However, the reason that I moving to Canada is to have a better education. The education in my back home is very difficult. I have very less free time. I spend the most time in class, after school class and homework. But starting on a new school at a new country was not easy when you have to learn a different language that you never learn it before. That bring me to the second …show more content…
I been struggling with English for my first week in school. I feel very bad because I can remember all my friend name and even some time they are talking to be but I do not understand. My feeling is going down and I start screwing up after one week. But in my mind, I do not want to screw up, I still want to face the challenge. And soon, I realize that I have the right decided.. I have friend at school that when I get trouble at understanding, they help me. Keep asking them help me become better at English. Eventually, I getting better at English it help me easier to communicate with my friend. And go through that experience I became more patient when I try to understand what people said. But when I getting better at English, another important thing I had to prepare is going to high
Everything that I have attained in the past helped define who I am today. Everything I have gone through and have done in the previous years of my life molded me into the person I am today. Not only have they shaped me into who I am; but also guided me in discovering the potentials I did not realize that I had. Without the challenges and hardships of the past, I know that I would not be who I am today.
What is identity? The definition as a person’s own sense of whom they are, which their past define them. Identity is very important in our society, no matter your social status. I can attach identity to belonging to something or place. As human race, we feel the need to belong to a group or place. Because belonging to a group or place, give us the sense of identity.
One aspect of my identity that has shaped my life experience and the way I see the world is my race. I am an African- American who has Nigerian descent from both parents. Growing up African American is hard for many of us, but we always come together to help each other out. We get judged for our skin color, religion, sexuality, and economic status. When I was younger, I always thought about what other people would say about me and how I looked. Even though it was hard seeing how other races portrayed my race, I have learned to embrace my skin color and not let anybody judge me. The society believes that African Americans are lazy, uneducated, and violent. Things people say about me and my race only make me want to prove myself to them that I am proud of my race and would never change myself for anybody.
I consider my identity, interests and personality to be as if it was a chain, one which is all connected to my family, and the environment in which I was raised. As a kid, I was always extremely organized with everything I did. From cleaning my room, to making my school binder nice and neat. My mom always taught me to be efficient in every way I could to help me achieve everything I wanted better and faster. There was times where I would share rooms with my brother. His side of the room was always muddled and disorganized, and mine was all in order by colors and sizes. I was a weird kid, obsessed with neatness.
When I introduce myself I will state my name and something they would either know or remember me by. Never would I immediately go into a story on who I am or how I found my identity. That, quite frankly, is a little too much to handle. If they were to get to know me, they would discover many things about just exactly who Kaitlin Wyse is.
My Identity is also set by my behavior, personal characteristics and lastly experiences.The struggles that we face define who we are but it all depends how we overcome them and how we handle it. I have experienced many challenges in my life but It gives me more strength to not stop and keep on moving forward. Also I have experienced negative bias but I learned to control It and focus on the positives things going on in my life. Every single time I fine myself struggling I try to step into someone else shoes and think what they might do to overcome it. Personal characteristics that identify me is my attitude how persistent I am and lastly my discipline.I am a persistent women I don't just give up fast I try to achieve despite all the circumstances
These items are not just stuff that you eat or drink,to me they are memories who represent who I am.I use to live with my grandparents when I was little. They always made ramen on the weekends. I will always eat with my cousin and we will always get full. Sometimes my parents and other family members come to eat with us but not all the time. I feel like it brought our family together.Coffee doesn't really sound like its apart of my identity but it is. The reason why is because I started drinking coffee last year that year i was at a different school. When i drink coffee i start to remember the good times i had last year. I had a lot of good moments last year. I always buy coffee after school then i get on the bus and that was always the best part of my days i when i drink coffee i remember going into that bus and how i made a new friend on that bus.
I am a white American female. Another term that can be used to describe my race is caucasian. Some characteristics that come with my race include a fair skin tone and naturally light colored hair. I do not think that anyone can truly be a “pure” race because family trees expand genetically within multiple races, especially in current times. People of all races are reproducing and creating a more mixed environment than ever before.
Who am I? I’m I considered African or African American? So what is my social identity? Social identity is a person’s sense of who they are based on their group membership(s). Social groups such as family, organizations, sports team, etc plays an important role a person’s pride and self esteem. Interacting in such groups gives us a sense of belongingness, which leads to our social identity in the social.
“Someone forgot to take a shower.” Two pairs of eyes immediately looked over at me. My first day of sixth grade was full of many microaggressions and passive aggressive chuckles. “No, but actually, who smells like that?” Attending a predominantly white school in the suburbs of Minnesota attenuates you to that kind of stuff. “Is it true Ethiopians eat food with their hands like monkeys?” Little did I know that these microscopic insignificant interactions had a greater impact on my awareness of my own identity than anyone else. I stood five feet tall, with my dark brown skin, and wore my hair into two puff balls, one on each side. I already stood out. The strong smell that surrounded my entire body is what made me stand out even more. Middle
Identity. Who we are. How we define ourselves. Imagine taking away something that defines you. You’re left feeling “who am I?”
My English was very limited when I moved here from Mexico, however during my High School year in the United States, I was able to improve my speaking and writing skills through the various writing assignments and daily interaction with my teachers. Unexpectedly, I made efforts which gave me skills to improve my knowledge. Even though I did not speak English even a little, I achieved my goals by using my discipline and self-confidence. Now that I am able to understand what people are saying to me in English, I remember how confused I was and my low motivation. Unfortunately, my situation at school made me want to go back to Mexico. Instead, nowadays my goals and dreams for a better future are my motivation and allow me to feel confident and
Independent , strong, confident , words I wish I could use to describe myself. Growing up; I was raised in Bremerton, Washington. At a young age I learned to be independent, taking care of my younger sister and brother. While my Dad was in and out of prison, along with my Mom not straying far from that same path. At this time in my life I didn't know I needed help, at the age of 5 I thought it was completely normal to live with your grandparents, completely normal to see so much hate between a mother and father , where it was normal to spend more time watching my mom hide the bruises and scars, all while trying to restrain her tears from her kids. At the age of 5 I learned to be independent. Just a year later at the age of 6, my mom changed
Who are you that approached me from behind, returning from the store that night ?
Who am I? Who am I? A question that I have constantly asked myself . A question that I haven’t found a complete and accurate solution for. Before this mystery is solved, I have already discovered a few personalities of my own. I, Richard Shum, welcome the opportunity to tell you more about myself.
