How is a Person's Identity Formed

                When I think of a person’s identity, I think about their internal fingerprint. Although, it’s not something their born with, but what has shaped each and every ridge of their personality over time.
                A person’s identity is formed when something drastic happens in their life. Whether it’s positive or negative; whatever it is that happens will shape them into a new person. The way they see the world, the way they love, or hate, even the way they live will change, even if it’s in the tiniest of way.

                Your personal identity is not given to you; it’s more than your name. Your name doesn’t define your views, your intelligence, your dreams and desires. Your personal identity is not to be defined by someone else’s opinion on you, because they do not know you the way you know yourself. Your identity is shaped each and every day, it is your personalities DNA, if you will. I believe that your identity is the base of you, because each time you grow stronger, you get another notch into your identity that makes you unique from everyone else. Be yourself and allow yourself to grow and prosper even in the toughest of times.
