My Identity

I have sat and contemplated all of the attributes that make me who I am. Of all the aspects that construct my identity, my family would be the most significant. My loved ones have taken part in molding the woman I am today. Each member of my family has given me some sort of values that I can carry on for the rest of my days. I mean without my mother I wouldn't even be here. My family isn't ordinary. An outsider looking in would probably call us dysfunctional, but it works for us. We are perfectly unperfect. My background isn't a fairytale, but it has made me a strong person who can appreciate every opportunity given to me. My family members have been a template for me. What mistakes they have made in life, I am able to avoid and what they could not achieve in life, I am able to devote my efforts. When life seems to turn its back on you, your family is always there.
