Narrative Essay About Identity

In my previous essay I wrote this: “All that matters is that one day, after I have finally gotten rid of the mask, I will finally figure out who I am”. Showing that the struggle with the mask has clouded me for so long that it left with an identity crisis. Though the last essay was the one that concentrated on using writing to help yourself, I do wish to continue using that same method and I also wish to mix it with the one for this essay. This essay concentrates on writing about the different voices/parts of yourself that you may have and finding a creative way to use them. Leading to what I am trying to say, which is that I wish to use this essay to examine the voices that I use most in my everyday life (the ones that really represent who …show more content…
This voice was given by the two people I love the most in this life, my parents.

The Puertorrican voice showed I cared not only about my family, but also about my nation. Showing how in the future, with the skills I have gathered from my successful career, I will do everything in my power to help both. My Scholar voice showed me how I am interested in following a career in Psychology. While finally my irresponsible voice showing me what I need to do to be ready for the real world. Together they show me how I am ready to complete a career in medicine (because I finally know what to actually concentrate on when preparing myself for the future, also because psychology is the career I feel I can follow and because one of the voices shows how my future career will be related to helping people) and how with the skills I learn from my career, I will help anyone I can that needs help. This whole essay might seem like it concentrates more on my future than on who I am, but in this essay for every advice on my future given, a picture of who I am is shown (due to the fact that figuring out one leads to the other).
