Have you ever wondered who people are? If you want to understand who I am you have to know a few things. You need to understand where I’m from, what I like, and my siblings. To begin with, you need to understand where I’m from. I am from a New England state called “Massachusetts.” I grew up in a city named “Worcester.” It’s pronounced “wista or wister.” I lived most of my life in a shared apartment, I owned one floor, on “Dustin Street.” In the end, I am from Worcester, Massachusetts. Another thing is, you need to understand what I like. I like to go on my cell phone and go on social media. I love playing video games. I’m currently playing “Life is Strange.” I also like to take pictures and capture moments around me. To sum it up, I like
Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running
I'm DeVon, an eighteen year old self tought illustrator and Henry Ford Accademy allumni; I am also an incoming freshman attending Kendal College of Art and Desighn. I spend most of my time drawing, gaming, and skateboarding. My favorite styles of illustration are cartoon, comic, fantacy, landscapes, graphic, manga, and painting.
When I was little, I was very shy around new people. I usually only showed who I actually was around my family. I didn’t have a friend who I could be myself around, they were usually just friends who I would play with at recess. That was until everything changed, and I moved across the town of Derby.
It was a warm day in Los Angeles California. The soccer field had green grass and a lot of kids playing on it. There is a 9-11 year old team playing. The parents of the kids pay the coach so their kids can play on the soccer team. Derek is a is a dark haired boy. He's 11 years old, and he is a better soccer player than Chris is at the moment. Chris is an 11 year old boy who is Mexican and loves to play soccer. Chris’s family is a bit more poor then Derek's family.
How does your heritage affect you today? My English heritage doesn’t effect me, but I would like to try some traditions.Those things I would like to try is traditional foods, sports known in England, and religious holidays.
There are many factors that shape us into who we are, and who we will become. Some of these factors we can control, while others we cannot. While we are born into many traits of our identities, much of our other behavior is learned. My identity, for example, is “based not only on responses to the question ‘Who am I?’ but also on responses to the question ‘Who am I in relation to others?’” (Allen, 2011, p. 11). My identity and the question of who I am, are both influenced by many aspects of my life, including my hometown, my family, my friends, and my beliefs and moral values.
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.
The first object that represents my identity is my cross. The cross I wear is special to me because it was given to me by my Grandmother when I was 10 years old before I left Eritrea. It doesn’t just represent my religion, it represents who I am and where I came from. It helps me to not forget my identity as a person. Every time I’m about to give up or do something bad, I look at it and reminds me of my past and all the thing I have gone through to get to this point of my life. Essentially, you can say that its part of me and represent my past.
As a child who has grown up moving around several times, I believe it has shaped me to find out who I am. It has encouraged myself to find out who I am and try new things. When I was younger I was extremely reserved but meeting new people as I moved schools forced me to branch out and become the individual I am today. One of my strongest passions is succeeding, but to succeed I've come to realize you have to fail. As a typical child figuring out what I love to do, I trial and error with almost every sport you could think of soccer, basketball, softball, gymnastics. In middle school I was in sports and also band, but I came to realize academics is one of the things I love to succeed in the most, it gives me a rush of happiness when I'm doing
Strolling into my last hour of the day like any other, only to find that there was a substitute, another day of busy work instead of reviewing for the test. I sat in my assigned seat in the back of the class as usual, while the sub introduced himself.
Who am I? Well that’s a great question that I don’t even know if I can answer, but I can tell you how I became the person I am today. I started dance at the age of two years old. I started competing in dance competitions at 6 years old and I still continue to dance. This might seem like a trivial fact, but in reality, it has shaped me into the person I was today. Dance has taught me not just to dance, but how to be a leader, how to work in teams, and how to see a new perspective of things. It has also taught me how to manage my time well, because all through school I was keeping good grades and dancing 20 hours a week. It wasn’t till high school, when I had some medical problems arise, that I had problems with juggling everything.
What makes up an identity? A whole lot of things. Your friends, family, and culture can all play parts into your identity, but how can you show your identity to someone who isn’t you? By presenting the different sides of you of course. My project illustrates the fun, serious, playful, and loving parts of me in different areas and situations. It displays my identity in many different fashions and therefore deserves an A.
When i was looking at my transcript and remembering the courses and the teachers, i found out that my transcript say a lot about who i am. It mainly reflects how i think.
I just need to look around me to guess that most people, if not all of them, suffer through some sort of identity crisis, whether it is psychological, social, sexual, or another. But that knowledge doesn’t really help me answer that deceptively simple question: “How would you describe yourself?” Probably the most honest answer I have for you today is some long version of “I don’t know.” I am trying to find some answers to that question, though, and that’s something pretty new for me.
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.
