In class we learned that your identity is what makes you who you are. It can be a physical or mental characteristic. I think my sister Rebecca has had a major impact on my identity.
From as long as I can remember my sister has always been a funny, loving person. She has shaped me to do all the things I do today. From being secretary of SADD, to being apart of my church youth group, she has done it all. I use to want to be just like her, so i did these things without a reason except just that. Now that i am older though, i see why she did the things she did, it was to help others, it was not so she could go around saying, i've done this, and this and this, it was so she could feel good about herself. And that is one thing that has helped me become who I am.
One other way she has helped form my identity is that, when I meet someone new, I will most likely start a conversation and I could talk with them for hours. For my sister she is much more shy then I am. I did not want to be shy and I wanted to be able to meet someone new and become friends with them. This is another way my sister shaped my identity.
