Reflective Essay: Everyone Develps A Sense Of Identity

Everyone develps a sense of identity throughout the years of meeting new people, family/social probems, and how just the world tend to work around us .Something that I look back to every year is that my roles keep on changing depending on the status that I am like in school , teachers, friends, family and at work .

Furthermore, the process that I been through out my life stages from a kid to an adult has been a rollercoaster.For example in elementary school the only responsability that I had was to go to school do homework, activities in class and play , Middle school I had more responsabilities having a phone not losing it getting to my classes by myself and depend on teachers, dress code , more rules , and High School it was more freedom you could do whatever you would wanted to but still controlled by school , having off campus , being leader of an organization , homework. Now im more independent in going to college manage my time do homework , study, and work a part time job. What keeps me to achieve even more in life
is my dad which is my role model as being always together and following his successful steps. He always makes everything so much easier in doing many things at the same time and still is a great dad , friend , husband and worker. My dad never gives up on anything he always finds ways of being successful and keeping the family united.

Therefore I always go through the looking glass self, the reason why I think before I do any actions its to make sure that I'm doing the right thing and not being in the "displaced enviroment." Everyone tends to see you in a certain way because of our looks, religion, and class we are in .I've been through those times when people look at me and the way I act tell me "you look like such a girly girl" just the fact that I like to wear makeup everyday and liked to be dressed up .Although, I've had that natural social experience of meeting people and be in the reference group by seeing the things we have in common and connect to eachother.
I used to be a really shy which I still am but I'm more open to people being more self conscious. I just like to be my self and see how things I do can be valuable.Sometimes theres a point when I'm around people and don't feel comfortable I use civil inattention feeling more secure to mysellf and not being rude
.

On the otherside , my family has always seen me as a good girl that is responsible with all the things that I have to do being succesful in school refereing me through self-fulfilling prophecy.By that means them expecting for me to going to college and achieve what I've always dreamed of for my future.Expecting for me to be a role model for my younger sibiling of the good kind of girl that they refered me as. The way I see it is as generelized other doing what I supposed to do. Also its seen when I go to church sundays being catholic , I have to dress up appropiate with long dresses,skirts , not showing too much skin . Although theres not a ceratin dresscode that we have to take to church is just a way that religios people do to show respect to our God.

Overall, everyone in society has a different way of how the world revolves around them but I am understanding as I grow up the way society works in a variety of ways. In my family being a helpful family member and with my friends more of a goofy , nice , loyal friend but in reality I really wonder how they see it in their point of view. As the status that I am today I'm a young lady with dreams that I want for them to come to reality and become successful.
