I Am The Product Of Many

My identity is shaped by the many subcultures and collectives that I associate myself with. As a member of a United Methodist youth group, the Christian values and standards have a large effect on my own opinions and morals. The strong examples of people inside of that specific group represented what I aspired to be. My beliefs and values on respect, religion, and self image came from the roll models that went before me. Each part of my character can be traced back to the different groups that I have been affiliated with in the past and present. I feel that my identity is the product of strong roll models within those groups that have shaped me by simply expressing their beliefs.
