How we define ourselves is an important part of our identity. As we saw in our previous post, during Middle Adolescence teenagers develop an independence as part of distancing yourself from your parents. As Simon Sinek said in the video we watched, this independence allows us to "acculturate (assimilate to a different culture) outside of our immediate family and into the broader tribe" of the society around us.
So for this post list three things that you feel you identify with or define you and a brief description of what it is about it that you enjoy.
Example:
Rock music: I like it because to me it is rebellious.
Books: They allow you to lose yourself in dreams
ReplyDeletePanic! at the Disco: They're not afraid to do crazy and amazing things with their music.
Drawing: It's aesthetically pleasing and makes the world more beautiful
Softball: There is no better feeling than knowing you made an awesome play
ReplyDeleteMusicals: I always wished I could just break out into song whenever I wanted to
Writing: You control everything that happens. you make it entirely yours
Irish Dance - To me, there is no better feeling than when I successfully complete a difficult leap.
ReplyDeleteEpic Music - It makes me feel like a powerful warrior able to take on whatever enemy I choose next.
Reading - It takes me to a different world entirely, one that has fantastical things.
Pitching: Nothing is a better feeling than striking someone out:)
ReplyDeleteGymnastics: It is amazing to fly through the air during a competition and then winning first place.
Animals: being greeted by my bird when I wake up or walk n the house makes me feel loved and it really puts a smile on my face.
