What Is Your Identity

We are not born with your identity. Your identity is shaped by the experiences you go through in your life time. Parents can try to mold their child to whomever they want them to be, but at the end of the different factors come into account and life ultimately runs its course. A perfect example of this is a child being sheltered their whole life, and when they graduate high school and go to college and are finally on their own. They see themselves changing and they learn things about themselves that they never knew before. I don't believe anybody is born any type of way. We change as time goes a long and with time things happen. Those events over the course of time make us the person we are today. Identity can be destroyed when we try to be …show more content…
To take care of yourself is to look out for your happiness and well being, as simple as it sounds it is one of the most important responsibilities many realize to carry upon themselves. To bring deeper meaning to this, a person cannot be one hundred percent satisfied with oneself as long as they continue to blame others for their unhappiness or stir a pot full of negativity that's presented.

The lessons and guidance my father taught to me and passed down I tried to teach my friends the same things. When a father figure is not present there are so many things missing and many factors that are ultimately harmful to a boys character. I took the responsibility to help my friends in any way possible even through I was young myself, I felt it was my duty to do so.
