"Identity"


    Finally a chance where I can write non stop about myself since I don't do it too often. In general, I don't really spend that much time talking only about myself. With this opportunity I'll think that through this I won't have to worry about boring someone up with my business. For me, I think that no one really understands who they are until they've tried everything. Therefore, here I'll be generalizing what I believe is what I am. My identity is something I take really seriously because it's how I see myself and how others do too. People differ in identity no matter where they are from and it can be considered as an authentic gift that makes them special. 

    Now you may ask, "who are you?". I am Neythan Acosta Del Valle, I am everything I fight and intend to be. To be more specific, I am 18 years old, I'm currently attending my freshman year of college at "Universidad de Puerto Rico Recinto de Rio Piedras" while majoring in Environmental Science. I'm the middle child of three siblings, I live in Bayamón and basically, I love to be around people. Love to be with friends that think the same way as I do. Go out, have fun and enjoy life are my main hobbies. Enough with that though, let's talk about what I believe the true definition of identity is. In my opinion, it's what you have to find first about yourself so you can be able to establish yourself as a force in this world. Identity is what differs you from close people but at the same time brings you together. For example, as a Puerto Rican it's probably safe to say that most of my likings will be similar from the ones of a fellow citizen. Yes, we will like mofongo and we will have the same traditions but at the same time him and myself will be completely two different souls. I think this is a beautiful way to bring people together, through identity, because you have a great opportunity to learn things that yourself would never be able to go through before. Also, we are opposites but that's the main reason we become so close. 

    It is safe to say, after giving my point of view of this topic, that I believe identity is something essential for every human being. Not matter who we might me or what we believe in, identity is the reason we can become able to live freely and connect with others. In general, I think that it is hard to find yourself in this wide world but I can assure that when you do everything will just fall in it's place. After all we will reach our main aspiration through this, to be happy.

  1. Puerto Ricans are all the same, YET so different! Our similarities can bring us together but our differences make us even closer. Great job in defining identity!

  5. I like when you said "I am everything I fight and intend to be" as it states your individuality as someone that cannot be defined by others.
