How Do You Perceive Your Own Identity?

The definition of identity is “the fact of being who or what a person or thing is”. Identity is what 

makes all individuals different and unique. There are many traits that can makeup your identity like 

your race, gender, education, sexual orientation, occupation and so many more. Your identity makes 

you, you. I think that for myself the most important trait of who I am is my education. I think that 

having a good education is really a big part of who you are. Without one you wouldn’t get a good job or even learn people skills. Going to school is so important because it’s how you learn to interact with others and it’s how you learn new things everyday. Identity clearly can mean so many different things, but I feel that education is one aspect that stands out more than the others do.
