Who Am I

My family, friends, and school have shaped my identity over the years. Being the middle child of my eclectic family has helped define who I am today. Being the middle child, I have taken a very specific role within my family. I am often the family member my siblings go to when they need advice. I always leave my door open to them and as a result, I am a good listener. As the middle child I am also generally the sibling who settles the disputes between my other siblings. Each member of my family has a distinct personality and I have learned from each member. My dad is hard working and has taught me to study diligently and always do my best. My mother sets rules for me and has taught me responsibility. My older sister has taught me to be independent. My older brother has taught me to be kind to everyone and my younger sister's creativity has helped me learn to think outside the box.

My friends have also helped me shape who I am. All my friends are incredibly supportive of what I do from coming to my Acadram shows to wishing me happy birthday. Their support has taught me to be just as good friend to them as they are to me. My friends and I are always there for one another whether someone is facing a challenge or celebrating.

Going to the Mount has also shaped my identity. An all girls education has helped me learn to think for myself and to express my ideas. The Mount has taught me not to be afraid of speaking my mind or standing up for my beliefs. The Mount has challenged me and supported me. I have learned important values such as responsibility and honesty. Here I have wonderful memories that I will carry with me throughout my life.
