Who am I?
My name is Samantha but my friends and family call me Sam, for short. I'm 16 years old and was born and raised in Canada. Supposedly, at this age were supposed to have it all figured out. We have to know where were going, what occupation we want to pursue, and what kind of a future we want to have. There's a lot of pressure to figure out who we are now, even though we have the rest of our lifetime to figure that out. The truth is, I can't define myself in one word, or even ten words. I'm not sure who I am. All I know is that, I love to dance. I've been doing it since I was 9 years old. When I dance, I feel free. Like it's me against the world. I don't think it's something I would choose as a future occupation though. I think when I finish high school, i'd love to work with children. I love being around kids, and watching them grow and light up as they learn new things. Some more things you should know about me is that, my friends and family mean the world to me, more than words can say. I don't know where I would be half the time without them. They seem to be the only people I know I can count on, no matter what happens. So, I might not be able to describe myself in one word, or ten words. I'm complex person and can be hard to figure out. I have many hobbies, and many sides to my personality. I just enjoy life and everything that comes with it. Yes, there will always be a few bends in the road but that's what makes it interesting, right? And ya, I don't know exactly who I am yet or where i'm going but, in my eyes I have the rest of my life to figure that out. No matter what anyone says even if they think they have it all figured out, I think we'll always be learning new things about ourselves. I think we'll always be searching for who we really are. I've accepted that and I think it's okay to feel lost sometimes. I am a lot of things, and a lot of things make up who I am.

I think that most people feel the same way as you, especially at 16. The next few years are so crucial to forming your identity, that it's easy to understand your hesitation in putting one clear idea into words. The important thing is approaching it with a positive attitude, which you certainly have!
ReplyDeleteI am also 16 years of age and I'm not so sure who I am either but I do know that when I'm lost I always have my sports and hobbies. I agree that you have a much time as you need to find out who you are and what you want to be. We all have that one thing we love and for me its golf and golf has been in my past, present and I really hope I have it throughout my whole life. You have dance and I have known you for a long time I know dance has been in your past, it is in your life as of right now, so in the future don't let it go. Dance will always be that one thing you have to feel free!
