Identity can be defined
or created by mostly anything and is rarely defined by one person, place, or
thing. The greatest influence on a person is who they spend most of their time
with, this influence then affects the overall identity of a person. The people
that I spend the most time with include my family and friends but, my emphasis
is on the friends I grew up with. Each friend has a certain quality that
defines who I am as a person. My best friend Devin, Kyle, and Chad. Each of
these friends represents different aspects of my identity Devin is a small kid
that is hard working, Kyle is a laid back kid who is funny, and Chad is an
intelligent kid who is athletic.
My best friend Devin or is more like myself than any of
the other people I listed but in ways that are not evident on the surface. In
appearance we are opposite he is about 5 foot 5 inches and I am 6 feet 3 inches
and other things so it is visually funny but our personalities are quite
similar. He and I are both hard working in everything we do, he shows me that
he has to put in so much effort in anything he does athletically due to his
lack of height. On a couple occasions two seasons ago he got a concussion so he
worked out all off season to get stronger so he would be less susceptive to get
another. His effort put in on and off the field highlights the dedication he
lives with every moment of the day. I try my best to dedicate myself half as
much as my as Devin does daily.
These three friends are an adequate evaluation of the way
I view my identity. Aspects of each of these friends have been adapted into my
own character and everyday behavior.
