The fragility (or nature) of identityAn entire life is devoted to the construction of one's identity; shape it, feed it and even carve it up. The idea of ​​having an identity appeals to most of us because we view it as something important that helps us understand who we are. A person's identity is generally a set of beliefs about oneself; a self-concept that includes elements such as religion, sexuality, one's role in society and is generally considered to embody the answer to the question "Who am I?" » A person's identity is constantly weakened and strengthened through events that occur in life, both external and internal.

The concept of identity is simply a process of clarifying and balancing our internal expressions. This essay intrigued me from the beginning and made me think about the writing process. I knew this was going to be a challenge for me as I had never written an essay of this nature, nevertheless I was excited to be able to express my thoughts as I wrote.

I reread my essay and once again I notice a repetition of ideas and words, which I don't like, but they are essential to getting my ideas across to the reader. My attempt to write the most profound essay of my life to date has been extremely difficult. I don't know if I succeeded but I put a lot of effort into writing it to the best of my ability. I hope this essay delivers my message clearly without too much confusion. I enjoyed writing an essay of this nature; the meta-cognitive aspect of it was, surprisingly, extremely helpful in organizing my thoughts and serving as a journal. I would love to write all of my essays in this format, it would keep me sane while writing ridiculously long essays. It's late and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. I'm going to reread my essay one last time, save it, and email it to Mr. McGuire once I'm finished..
