The journey to find true identity can take a lifetime, and I have certainly changed over the years. Being only 20 years old, I am sure I will continue to change as I age, but I genuinely like the person I am today. I am intelligent, aware, funny, professional, and loving.

I do think I will lose quite a bit of my identity if this career path does not
