What Identity Means to Me

            The term Identity means many things to me. Identity is what you and others perceive you as. Identity comes with many factors such as gender, race, religion, appearance, culture, profession and origin. I believe that these factors all contribute to our identity and these make us all unique in our own ways. However, I believe identity’s can differ between how you see yourself as, how strangers see you as, and how friends and family see you as. I believe that strangers can detect one’s identity by the factors above by just looking at someone. However, our friends and family know us personally so they know how we act, and what are personalities are that contribute to our identity. If I were to determine my identity, I could describe myself as an 18-year-old white female. I am 5”4 and I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I am catholic and I was born and raised in New Jersey. I am half Italian and Half Hungarian. However, just looking at me it would be hard to describe my profession. I work in a  day-care so my "uniform" is hard to recognize because I wear my casual clothing. Therefore, identity comes with many different factors that initially show the basics of who were are.
