Identity

The first thing in my life that has shaped me to be the person I am today is my family. My family has taught me about many things in life. My parents are a constant support system in my life. They guide me along my journey and teach me the good and bad in life. My brother and sister are my best friends. Ever since I was little my siblings have taught me a lot about myself. They are huge mentors in my life and great role models to look up to. Because of my siblings, I want to be a better person. They show me the ropes in life and I learn a lot from them.

 The second thing in my life that has shaped me are my friends. I have a very great group of friends that are always there for me. My friends are there for me when im happy, sad, frustrated or even confused. They always make me laugh and help me remember all of the good things in my life. When I look back on my years at the Mount, I think of all the sisters that I have made, who will stay with me for the rest of my life.

 Finally, The last thing that has shaped my identity is being an athlete on the crew team. Rowing has taught me a lot about myself. It has shown me how hard I can push myself, and has taught me how to reach my fullest potential. From being a rower, I have learned that pain is only temporary, and success is built off of hard work. I have learned great time management from rowing. Most importantly, I have learned how to be a loyal teammate. Mount Crew
