Personal Narrative: My Identity Foreclosure

Improved Essays
Using Marcia’s identity states, I would put myself in the identity foreclosure. This states that the identity if foreclosed until the individual picks where they want to be in their life. I picked this one because of a few reasons. One, I’ve always been a bit of a go with the flow person. I figure out what it is I want to do for the time being and then when I’m ready for find something more for find something else it is that I’m interested in I go for it. Also when it comes to this I’ve been put in positions my whole life because of the cards that I have been dealt. When it came to picking where I wanted to go for college I was put in a sticky situation with wanting/needing to stay home to help out my family and deciding to pack up and move and in a sense not helping them out. Needless to say, I stayed home to help out my family and I think it was one of the best …show more content…
I know I wanted to get into business and get into the management side of it all but other than that I’m still working out the kinks. I just recently became a first time renter of a townhouse and I’m living on my own for the first time ever. Therefore, my responsibilities are more than what they were before when I lived at home. That pan that I used for dinner will not clean itself and it becomes obvious, even though I like to keep my place clean, sometimes those dang dishes seem to find a way to stack themselves. My goals that I have for myself is to figure out what exactly my nitch is, what exactly I want to do for the rest of my life. I work at a bar, tend to tables and serve behind that bar as well. I do know that I don’t want to do this for the rest of my life so at least I have one thing figured out! Some challenges that I’m facing right now is internships. I’m looking into a few and I’m still trying to figure out which one would be a best fit for me at this

    As just an 18-year-old, it is next to impossible to know what you want to do with the rest of your life. I had always known I wanted to work in the fashion industry, but I wanted to go into the business side of it, while still being heavily involved in the exciting parts of the industry. I decided to take on a difficult quest and attend the University of Mississippi, majoring in Integrating Marketing Communications, and hoping to one-day intern in and later move to New York, New York. My quest is very similar to Corliss’ quest in The Search Engine as she plans to leave the Spokane Indian Reservation to pursue a college education in writing, which is unheard of in her culture and looked down upon in a way by her family. And while our quests…

    When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…

    “Shes coming back right?” a baffled 7 year old asks in response to the appalling news of her mother’s death. A vibrant imagination is accompanied by a crushing pain of reality that trails behind it ; I discovered this when I heard the words “no” . 10 years later, that conversation lingers in my head and holds not a cacophonous nor euphonious sound, but instead holds the neutral tone of reality, an alarm . As routine , at 6a.m., I hear a melodious alarm followed by the pitter-patter of my aunt who is getting ready for work.…

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    My decision to return to college was purely random. There was no pondering over the decision; no weighing in the pros and cons, no thinking it through or any real thought behind it. I literally woke up one morning and said to myself “I think I’ll go back to college” and I made the call. I called the College of New Rochelle and made the appointment for the admissions test. And before I knew what was actually happening, I was a matriculated college student.…

    I did not fall down a rabbit hole. A tornado did not come and whisk me away to faraway lands. Any wardrobes I found were perfectly ordinary with no hidden entrance to a snowy realm. None of my jewelry or possessions were remarkable aside from some sentimental value. Nothing I owned or anyone I encountered made me stand out; however, something found me anyway.…
