"Who am I?"

What do people answer when they are asked the question “Who am I?” Well, people ask a variety of different answers. Some are general and some are more in depth.  General answers are about where they grew up, and others were about how they were raised. How they were raised could include religion, background, and culture or cultures.  Some people wrote about how they came to the world, whether that means who their parents are or talking about religion. A few people said that they would answer with their likes and dislikes and what they are or are not. Examples may be liking to be outside, disliking animals, and if they are or are not a good speller. There are many things that people can like or dislike, and that topic can expand many ways since it is so vague. Some wrote in depth ideas such as is their way of thinking, and what has shaped them and how they manage their feelings. In depth gives way to seeing the small details of what defines them and their values of what is important or not so important. Goals were an answer as for education, careers, traveling, life, and family. Goals can also be tied into dreams, which is another way the question can be answered. Telling a story can also be a great way for answering who someone is. A story could show a real life experience of who a person is and their experiences. A person could tell a lot about who someone truely is based on a experience and how they handled it. Maybe they work good under pressure, or maybe they do not.  Overall the question of “Who am I?” can be answered in many different ways depending on ethnicity and background. Just like our class doesn’t have the same people, the answer to this simple question will never be the same either.
