Definitely Different

Everyone has a personal identity to make themselves who they are. This is what makes them different.

People think that if they're different then they won't fit in and think it would be better if we were all the same. Well everyone is different and plus if we were all the same everything would be boring. Your friends wouldn't be fun, relationships wouldn't either.  Would you really want that to happen? I think not.

What Makes You Who You Are?

The things that make you you are the people that you hang out with, things you do and if you listen in school or not. All these things can affect you in your future. For example if you hang out with bad influences then you might turn out to be a criminal. Plus if you listen in school you just might turn out to be a smart person.

Traditions, culture and religions are all important to your identity. Like all the foods you eat might be it Samoan food or maybe even scrumptious Tongan food. Ummmmmm I love Tongan food. Your culture is important because it makes up part of your identity.

Here's a good example of how identity works.

I always go to my cousin's home in the weekend and they love basketball. They have a basketball hoop, two basketballs and their role modeling and inspiration affect my love for the sport. I like playing basketball now because of them. See the people you hang out with do affect your life.

You see, personal identity is a very important part to your life and without it you would be a nobody. So go ahead and be different, who cares what other people think about your looks and the things you do just be you!
