Self Identity
Everyone has more than one face, they may fail to realize it but others around them do notice. I have many faces for many different reasons and for many different people, I have one for my family, one for my friends, one for my employer, and one for just about any other specific group of people. I used to not notice until I was called out on it by one of my cousins; she exclaimed that way I act around my non-relative friends was not the way I acted around them and that made her upset. Ever since that incident I have been fully aware of the way I act, however not much has changed. Around my parents I act in a way that is intended to meet their expectations, I'll speak to them respectfully and politely and do whatever they ask me to do. This way I can keep them happy, there have been instances where humor is involved and the way we communicate can become a little odd at the end of the day it remains the same with my parents. Like I said before when it comes to my parents I must do what is

It is taking a whole different person perspective to a new level. My friends and I all have one thing in common; we all play fighting games competitevely and are deeply involved in the FGC (fighting game community) this is what makes new person to those who have yet to see this face. The community has its own culture, lingo, and inside jokes that we all partake in whether they are appropriate or not. When I attend tournaments with my friends we engage in the culture the FGC has to offer, words I would say to them when we play I would never say to any other human being that isn't involved in some way with the FGC. We nonchalantaly call each other names and other insults when we play, we yell and get extremely excited over uncanny occurences that might happen in game. The polite person my parents see is also a person who will yell and get exicited around other
Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.
I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

Just so you know, this is the Big Apple and I rule this town. New York City is filled with tall buildings, great culture, and historical sites. No other city has so much beauty that it takes your breath away; yet, there is a real danger that lurks on the streets. I should know because I am Detective Michael Morgan a United States Super Spy in charge of capturing dastardly villains who are set on destroying our world. Armed with mind-altering powers, Alex Higgins is on the top of the FBI’s list of the ten most wanted men in America. This thug is one of the greatest danger to our world and must be captured and jailed in the vault of death. There is no place safe for him to hide from the law and rumor has it, he is in my town. You break the law here in New York City, you pay the ultimate price: freedom.
I quickly swallowed my homemade authentic Indian food leftovers and gulped down my chocolate milk. Looking down at my watch that read 11:28am, I knew that I only had two minutes until my most favorite part of the day: recess. This particular day in 5th grade, I had run a lap around the playground before getting the rest of recess to myself. As I started walking for my warmup, another student ran up and said, “My parents said that your people caused 9/11.” Completely caught off guard, I held back the tears in my eyes and tried to shake off his comment. I had never encountered something like this.
Although I have not thought about how I would stage a play I will give myself a chance to thinking thoroughly about how I would want an audience to receive a piece of work written by the four playwrights we have read this semester. Drawing on Wilson’s famous speech, I have an idea about what I would want. The Ground on Which I Stand is one that acknowledges the amazing playwrights we were able to read this semester. I appreciate what they have given to the world through the stage and in print. There have been plays that I resonated with me and some that were harder to grasp. Many of these playwrights talk about connections and family which is a way that I have connected with the characters. I wouldn't use many of the playwrights as influences
To understand Locke’s concept of personal identity it is necessary to understand what he means by identity and what he means specifically by personal identity. Locke states there are three substances that we have ideas of and that have identities. He defines idea in Essay concerning Human Understanding as “whatsoever is the object of the understanding when a man thinks” (Essay, chapter 1, section 8). That is to say that an idea, to Locke, is the basic unit of human thought. Identity is based off of comparison of these ideas in different times and places.
There were several times when act of persuasion seriously affected and deeply changed my life. However, immigrating to United States is on the top of my list that affected not only my life, but also who I am. During my fifth grade year, my uncle’s family called and suggested about participating in a foreign exchange student program. At first, I was not sure if I would be able to take care of myself away from my parents and because of that, I continued to say “no” until in the middle of my sixth grade year. During those one and a half years of hesitation, my uncle had sent me pictures of his house, surroundings, school, etc. Those pictures gave me a whole new perspective about immigrating to United States and helped me build enough
As I was scrolling down my pictures on VSCOcam, an editing app that has been my favorite for a few years not, it struck me yet again that one of my themes for this year was authenticity.
Days pass until I see him make an appearance while I’m fully conscious. By counting the meals he’s left on the nightstand, I’ve determined that I’ve been in here for at least a week.
Life really doesn't like to tell you what's ahead; sometimes it's nice and gives you a little hint, sometimes life replays itself so at least there's some familiarity in it, but most of the time my life seems out of my control. As a fifteen year old many people would hear me say this and scoff saying I don't have 'real' problems, or I don't know what the 'real' world is like. On one hand they're right, I shouldn't know what the 'real' world is like, most fifteen year olds are thinking about what picture they Instagram is a 'real' world problem. But being the not-so-average teenager, I do know what this so called 'real' world is.
Almost literally, I think I need to call Mike Tyson and put a trifecta there.
How does one define their identity? What are the most important things in life to you? Many cannot answer this question. It’s a problem many people face and try to find a solution to. Everyone is born into different cultures, families and even communities, but how we define our identity is from our personal attributes, our skills and abilities that we possess and even our interests and hobbies. If there’s something about you that you believe defines you in a big way, this could be considered your identity. Our identities are a complex interworking of genetics, our cultural and familial upbringing, spirituality, social circles, personal choice and taste, our community, as well as many other traits. I have an identity that specifically pertains to me. It’s been forming ever since the day I’ve been born and
When I was 9, my dad committed suicide. My brain filled with questions about life and death that not even the adults could answer. At that age, I was also exploring my gender and identity, and the absence of guidance made me feel lost. With a pencil in hand, I drew an escape, beginning to create my own universe, where I decide who lived, who died, and with concrete answers to the questions. In high school, I transitioned from paper to a tablet, create digital art and animations. Almost all of my work is centered around the universe I have created. Over the years, I accumulated a complex cast of over fifty characters, each one a thread interwoven with others to form a quilted story. Every single character is on paper somewhere in my room. Looking at them by myself, I was comfortable, but showing them to others, I was vulnerable and my chest split open to unveil this unfamiliar figure that I didn’t know or understand.
Zoning out in English class tends to be my specialty. As much as I want the subject to capture my thoughts and change my perspectives I just can’t find interest in grammar rules let alone constructing a thesis. My view on English transformed abruptly when my teacher, Mr. Curry, assigned us a quote and told us to not only define it, but also make it our story. Our story? What do you mean our story? I didn’t write the quote so what makes you think it will have any significance to my personal life? Although I wasn’t as enthusiastic about the assignment as he was, I told myself to at least give it a shot.
