Identity isn't something that's a characteristic of yours, but a trait you identify aswith. In life, you find your identity by developing who you are as a person. Identity can either be beneficial or destructive. Having a sense of identity represents whatthe kind of person you are and each person can have more than one identity. I identify as a white woman, but I also identify as a daughter and sister, which both have contradictorycontrasting perspectives.
In order to get my different perspectives across, itsit's important to know more about me.
I come from a very Italian family. It’s gravy with meatballs almost every Sunday, and the endless marathon of football games. I have one younger sister who is 16 years old and live with both my parents; who are absolutely crazy. When I was growing up, I also had little cousins who were categorized as little sisters to me, due to us all being close in age. We would do everything together, and because I was the oldest, I always had the most responsibility. From playing outside to go going to Disney together we never left each other's side. Even though I didn't realize it then, this all shaped me into my identity today.
