The three characteristics which most define who I am are my age, my family status, and my communication style. My age is important because 20 years has presented a crucial transitional stage in which I’ve had to seriously consider the career I’ll pursue, who I am as an individual in the broader social scheme, etc. These choices are so important because they not only shape who I am in the present, but also who I will become in the future. My family status is so important because long term divisions within my family have forced me to act independently and stand alone; it has unfortunately decreased my expectations of the strength of the family, but increased my confidence in my abilities as an individual. Finally, my communication style is a large part of how I view myself, and probably the most striking thing from the perspective of a person I have just met. My sarcasm and dry sense of humor hits some people pretty hard, and it either repels them or draws them in. I owe the close friends I’ve made, and consequently the support system I’ve built through these friends, to my unique style of communication.
