by Brenda AlmarazWho am I?
I am... A woman A Latina A daughter of six A sister A student A traveler A Friend A Mexican A United- Statesian An individual existing... Who am I? Is one of the most difficult questions to answer for many, but why? Could it be that in describing ourselves we may overemphasize certain qualities or better yet fail to mention some? Or just because as social beings with multiple social groups we put on a different mask to accommodate and be accepted...when are we ever our true self? As one person told me...There is no need to overthink the question because you are who you are: your likes, dislikes, the capability to accommodate, and simply by the labels you acquire whether they were a choice or not. Being that this is a question I have give LOTS of thought to I decided it best to "label myself". At first I began with the way others could influence a label, and then those at birth but, stopped as I soon realized it's not about the labels...it's about how I wear and embrace these labels that matter. So what if I'm a sister, daughter, student, Mexican, United Statesian? What matter`s is that I embrace, wear, and flaunt the labels that I choose best defines who I am.
