Odyssey 1

Identity does not derive from a single thing in ones
life. It is a combination of what one has been through
in their life, and how you choose view the bad and
scary experiences. I think of my identity as what separates
me from everyone else. I speak my mind with little
filter. There is no way that could be in my genes. My
parents are nothing but filtered. I have created my
own identity. Often people are the way they are,
because they know where they want to go in life. I am
the way I am, because I have no idea where I am going.

I don’t let the feeling of embarrassment keep me from
acting the way I want.

People know me as the loud girl who will always win
the random game, and I pride myself on making people
smile.

I choose to take bad news as a way of getting
stronger.
