Identity

While surfing the net, I found a quote by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. It stated, �Identity: Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.� I totally agree with this statement. Even though, identity is influenced by many different social contexts (such as family, friends, and media), I believe that an individual really cannot define their identity until they discover their passion. You are what your heart is. If you have a heart filled with love and compassion then your identity will characterize that.

>I fully agree with this point and believe that a person's identity comes from a self-evaluation of themselves and something that can be easily seen and portrayed. A person must be able to describe a passion they have and explicitly describe why this passion is significant and beneficial. After which, it is able to connect dots between this particular passion and the person. Your identity is something that is important to be established and what people should be able to spot out and recognize about you.
