Who Are You Essay

Now that you have truly identified what you believe and why, I ask you, who are you? Take a moment and think about that question and either just answer it to yourself or write it down. If you answered something like, a good mother/father, a handworker, successful, your nationality or race, or something else related to the “outside” world, think once more.
