    to start off I wanted to apprise you about my roots. I've been told most of the people from my community don't make it far in life, well I'm here to prove those people wrong. It is understandable the perspective that people might have regarding where I am from but just because I come from a place where there are crimes almost daily, it doesn't mean that everyone here is in any way like that.

    Who am I? I can think about a million different answers to that question. Everybody has their own story. Who do you see when you look in the mirror. For starters, my full name is Sarah Najah Haddawi. I am Arabic, Muslim, Syrian, those are some of my identifiers. My ethnicity and religion are a big part of who I am and they both play a big part in my life. I make a lot of big decisions based on my culture and its traditions.

    stressful and I was very saddened that I couldn 't do much to help. I was placed to work on the long term care side of the nursing home and was told everyone down this hall is a two-person care. I didn 't expect to see most of them in really bad health and the other C.N.A workers just went about and worked like nothing was wrong, but it was so hard to see people who couldn 't move much and you could tell they were trying so hard to talk and try moving. This eventful day changed my life I thought I wasn 't

    Identities are largely derived from the roles individuals play within society. When I think about my identity as an individual I predominantly think about external factors such as my gender or skin colour.

    the personality traits one will have has to do with the environment and people that surround that person. This is certainly the case for me, because without the encouragement of my family, and both the benefits and adversity created by my academic environment, I would not be who I am today. Without these factors, I would not be the capable student who is excited to educate himself as I currently am.
