After todays presentations, I realized that identity is a much more broad subject than I had thought at first. Your identity is limitless. I had no problems with pulling text to represent myself, but I defiantly could have put a lot more into it. At first I thought that one of the biggest elements of personal identity was what you were brought up around and the way you were raised, which it is, but even bigger is your lifestyle. The way your brought up plays into the your lifestyle but your surrounding(especially at this growing age) shapes who you are. Your friend for example. If you have a friend that likes something and involves you in it, thats changes your identity, whether you like that something or not. Its still a characteristic about yourself that sets you apart from others in a same or different way. Wow, does that even make sense?!
Anyways, I really enjoyed making my poster because it gave me a chance to show people the way I view myself as a person in society. It also brought to my attention who I actually am. You don't really think about those kinds of things everyday. Yeah, I know that I'm a mountain kid at heart,duh. I didn't think about how that reflects in my hobbies. I love anything outdoors and I think that if I had been raised in a major city I wouldn't be the way I am.

I agree with what you are saying. You made a good point about the different ways you can identify yourself and why you are you.
