Who am I?

Promp: Who Are You?

When reading the topic, some might think it would be very easy to write about oneself, but it really is not as easy as it seems. This is a difficult question to answer. Obviously we all know the general things that makes us who we are, but there are some things that makes us who we are that we generally do not think about effecting the person we become.

Above anything else I am a loving family member. My family is extremely important in my life and they each impact the person I am. My grandfather has made me the proud and stubborn person that I am to this day. He always taught me the importance of having pride in yourself and the things you do and to have pride in your family. I always try to present myself in a positive way and this is because my grandmother always taught me the importance of acting like a respectable young lady. My parents have made me the driven student I am today, they always pused me to do my absolute best. Each member in my family has contributed in some way in my development as a person.

As well as being a devoted family member I am a very caring friend. True friendship is something that is very important to me. I would rather have a small amount of friends that I trust completely rather than a large group of people I really can not trust. I always try to be there for my friends whenever they need me, because they are there for me. Sometimes you go through things in your life that you can not talk to your family about, and it is a great feeling knowing you have a best friend you can call and talk to, and they will listen and support you. Being a good friend is a characteristic about myself that I see as being beneficial in my development as an individual.

I am also a responsible employee as well as a friend and family member. I have had a job at a pharmacy for two years, and in these two years I have become a more responsible person. When I go to work it is up to no one but myself to get my job done and do it well. Being efficient at my job is very critical and I have learned to do my job the best I can and always work hard at it. Being a responsible and trustworthy employee definately has many positive aspects to it. This year my boss gave me and three other employees tickets to see the Georgia Bulldogs play football, this was a great reward for all of my hard work. I work very hard each day I am at work, because it is very rewarding to know that I am viewed as a valuable employee.

I am all of the things I listed above: a loving family member, caring friend, and responsible employee. I am also just a young freshman in college who is trying to decide what kind of person I want to become. I am constantly faced with having to decide what I want to major in. They want me to decide at nineteen years old what I want to do for the rest of my life. Although I know who I am at this point in my life it is hard to think about the future and the person I may become. I often envy other students who already know what they want to major in, it seems like it must take a lot of pressure off of having to make such a big decision. I keep hoping that one day I will have an epiphany and I will suddenley realize everything I want out of life. This is unlike the things I listed before because I don't know this about myself, but I am trying to slowly learn more about this new phase of my life.

There are many other responses I could have given when asked the question: "Who are you?". I chose these to discuss because they are the things I value the most. Of all the things I am and may become I always want to remain close to my family, a good friend and a responsible and trustworthy employee.
