Identity is who you are and it is what makes you different from others. Identity plays important parts in your life, sometimes identity are affected by peers, family or media. For me, identity is not about how you look like, what you wear or where you come from, but it is about being yourself no matters what others says about you. On the second week of school we had learn about identity and what define our own identity, ms.torie had read us a story about Verdi which is about a snake that doesn’t want to grow up to be green, old, lazy and boring. Through out the story he shows who he is through his action and so at the end he discovered that no matters what people says about him, he is best for being who he is.
I noticed that people identities changes when they get older, such as in middle school people identity changes because they start to be more mature, responsible (I’m not so sure for responsibility) and so they mood start to changes as well as their behavior and the way they think about things. But no matter what, identity is what make you unique and most important of all, I learned that you should be who you are, don’t change your personality to try to fit in because if you do that you would’t know who is truly your friends and who is judging you from outside not the inside. Don’t judge yourself from what other people says about you and don’t let others stop you from being who you are or doing what you think is best because the greatest pleasure in life is to do what others say you cannot do.
