      To be completely honest, I do not know who I am. The truth is that I am just a being that can change who I am in an instant. I don’t like to answer the question, “Who are you,” because I’m not really a definite person. I don’t know who I am right now, but in general terms of answering the prompt, I can share what I like to do and what I have done.

      I can be outgoing, but I can also be somewhat of an introvert. I often enjoy my own company more than being surrounded by people. I love reading and poetry, but that might just be a side effect of my preference to be alone. Despite that, I have been commonly told I have a type-A personality. I argue a lot. My sister told me to join debate team so I could put my arguing to use, so I did. I have come along way since when I first joined the team. I think I am prepared for the “everything is an argument” idea in this class, thanks to the way debate has made me think.

        I believe myself to be a hard worker. I tend to look at everything in life as a marathon, despite the fact that I am not much of a runner. I try to pace myself and push myself. I know that if I actually want something, I will get it. If I do not put in the effort, deep down I do not really care.

        I spend lots of nights at my grandmother’s house so she doesn’t get lonely. I work from three to eight pm after school a few days a week. An adjective I would use to describe myself would be ‘caring’ because I care for a lot of people in my life.
