My Identity

Identity is what people can perceive a general conception of a person, whether or not that conception has good intent or bad intent is dependent on the persons actions, and how the person speaks. Identity someone might see themselves differently than someone else perception of you.

To me my identity means a lot. This is because I do not want to be perceived in a certain way or to be perceived in a way that makes both me and my family look bad. Since I think my identity is all about how I act I try to do things that some people will not dare to do within a certain reason. One way that I have been perceived  is to have a lot of courage and be helpful to people who are in need. I know that some people have perceived me to have courage because whenever my friends are too scared to say, ask or do something, and if it is within reason I will do it. I have also found that people think this of me because of all the dancing I do in front of the whole school. The reason why I do dance in front of the whole school is because I think dancing is fun, and while I am dancing I go into my own world. Another way that I have been perceived as or least think that I have is being the “fun” person in the group or one of the most likable because I have such a wide range of interests. A reason that i think I can be perceived as this type of person is because of a trip I had taken with my church. At the beginning of this trip i had not really known anyone then at the end of the trip everyone was telling me that they had a really good time and they thought I had been really fun to hang out with for a week. I do not always see how i am this fun person, but I guess some people have influenced my identity.

These are the reasons that I think these are ways that I have been perceived. I also think that most of these perceptions have came from how someone has influenced me. I used to be a shy kid until I went to school for the first time. Then I had become more social and social throughout the years. With my dancing I used to not dance very often, but one school dance I had seen my brother dancing, so the image of us being twins and being similar had given me the boost to dance as well. I guess most of my Identity has come from my brother either me trying not to be like him in some senses or trying to be similar to him in others.
