Events In My Life As Who I Am?
The world is an enormous place, lived by billions of people, each one unique in a different way. I, like everybody else, am original in my own way, and no one has experienced what I have. I battle for all the things that I believe to be right, but not always succeed.

I gathered all my classmates and told them my father’s story and then I invited them to write little messages to make him feel better. At the end of the day we had more than 30 messages. I took the little book to my father, who was really touched after he read it. I am deeply thankful to all my friends and family members that helped me not just with the project, but to get over this traumatic experience. This definitely helped me form a new part of my identity. So, I believe that my identity certainly changed after those two experiences. They strengthened my relationships with my friends and family, increased my self-steam and gave me a new perspective about life. Today I consider
