The Majority of my twenty years was spent in the smallest state in the USA, Rhode Island. Up until know Providence was all I knew, a small but over capacitated city. This was the place I called home. I have a very large family three boys and three girls with me being the youngest by far. Growing up it felt like I had five extra parents instead of having siblings. The only difference was they were all very much easier to speak to than my actual parents and always kept me out of trouble. Providence is so different from everywhere due to its size everything close but, it still has an urban atmosphere like a big time major city. For the very most part of my life I attended public schools this helped to turn me into the tough person that I ‘am

This is a unique race of people that has had to overcome a lot from being suppressed by other ethnicity due to their looks and how they were seen as a whole by others. To be a member of this race means that you have to work very hard to get where you want just because of the color of your skin and the stereotypes that people already have of this ethnicity.

It was not hard to see how these eight elements make up my identity. Many of the elements you are already born with it and have no power of controlling until you are older. Like your race, gender, age, culture, and social class. You obviously cannot change your race but as you get older you can change where you fit in all of these elements. For an example you can grow up being poor but becomes a famous athlete and your entire social class can change. Your culture can be changed also when you get older many people just accept the culture of their parents and they might not have the same beliefs as them but when they grow up they tend to part ways from that culture. Your ability can also change as you get older. There is usually a peaking point for ability then after that age limit it starts to diminish over time and many people do not want to accept that. Your sexuality is something that is found at a certain age. At the right age you tend to figure out what you like whether it is female or male so people are not born “homosexual” or “Heterosexual” they decipher what they are when they are older. Overall I realized that age plays a key part in these
