What defines me?

There is no one thing in my life that defines me. There are however many small things that add together to make me who I am. One thing that defines me is my friends. They almost all have the same traits as me. I am smart, but not a genius. I love sports, but I am not a jock. I am funny, but I am no comedian. These traits all define me and the friends I chose. I am probably best defined by my family. As hard as it may be to admit sometimes I see a lot of my parents in myself. I have many of the same beliefs, morals, attitudes, strengths, and weaknesses of my parents. I am not only defined by others however. I define myself by my actions. I am an easy going, down to earth person. I can get along with most anyone. I am caring and respectful of others as well. All of that said, I am no saint. I have my faults as well, but I wish just as everyone else does, to be defined by the positive things in life.

  1. Nice post, Jordan. I think the uncertainty you present in the beginning portion of this post really captures the mental state of a young man.

    It sounds like you had a pretty solid upbringing. Also, I like the stylistic choice you made in presenting the traits that define you and contrasting them immediately thereafter. It sounds good. You have a strong voice, Jordan. Good work.
