Wk 1: Who Am I?

A big question..Who am I? Well, I suppose I can say that I am a student, where I go to school, my major, my hobbies, age, etc. Those may help categorize me in society and generate certain tendencies about my personality (a word with heavy meaning in this class?) or actions that are established by the people before me with similar hobbies, age, major, etc, but that probably won't really answer the question of who I really am...

This is a question that I have always pondered about and think is really hard to answer. Then again, I don't think this is a question that I can put into words either. I believe I know myself well enough to know who I am, but there is also a limit to that based off of my current growth in life. Honestly, the best answer I have for others and myself is: I am who I am. I am all the things I have experienced, all the things I have seen, all the places I have been to and lived, all the people and things I know, love, and hate, and all the things I believe, disagree, and embrace. I am influenced by all this, whether I choose to or not, they are all part of me.

In a sense, I think the list of things about me is just the beginning of who I am. As the lists gets longer, turning into stories, into reflections, then it will only slightly begin to answer who I really am.
