My Identity


Identity Doesn't Just Stop At Your Name:
A person’s identity does not just stop at the name they are given at birth. That is the way most of a person’s peers will identity someone right away but there is more to it. The way a person choses to represent themselves to society and what they actions include are what makes up the bulk of their identity. To me, my identity is consistently made up of my family, friends, and underneath it all is softball. Some things are more important to me than others, but all of them play some sort of role in my life. The center of my collage is a picture of my dad, my sister and me. They are the most important people to me in life and I have no idea where I would be without them. In the circle around them are the other people in my family. This includes my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins. I am very close to my family so they are another huge part of my identity. They have all taught me how to be a strong and independent person. The outer circle consists of pictures of my friends. These include friends from 1st grade to freshman year of college. They are all important people to me and have helped shaped who I am. The people you surround yourself with are also another huge part of your identity. The softball field is the background because I love the sport. Family and friends come first but there is always softball behind it all. I couldn't imagine not playing which is why I chose to continue my career at Bridgewater.
