Many times throughout life, people asks intriguing questions. A simple question, “How do you identify yourself?” At first, the question seemed like a joke, but once you took it seriously, you had to give it a deep thought. As for me, I felt like I was the only one in the world who did not understand how to answer this question.
From the outside perspective, people can obviously tell that I am a big and tall Asian. “What kind of Asian?” Well, that is up to your intuition to decide; I got called from races I am not part of and even names that does not belong to me like David, Chris or Andrew, but I like jokes, so give it a crack! “Big and tall?” I cannot really answer to this question because I do not see the vision of other people’s view; you see me how your eyes see fit. However, I do gotta admit, my two senses, my sight and touch does not lie to me. My genes is what made up my body, and nurture gave me the nutrition to function and build physical strength.
My identity from the inside may or may not be surprising to some. In all integrity, I describe myself in the best way I see fit. For example, I am (or think I am) an outgoing person. Some may disagree with me and that is because when I have met them in the past, I was a shy person, really shy. Change is a commitment I decided to take as I moved on. When did this happen? My best answer would be the summer break before my senior year. What happened was my friend and I decided to “joke” around by having me sing because I wanted to get better at it. Ironically, singing does not fit into a shy person. I developed a stronger voice that can be heard unlike the voice that barely touched the listener’s soul, thus this transformation made me into an outgoing person. As for my intellect, I will not go there because everyone has or has potential of obtaining wisdom, hence it will not be a unique characteristic that differs me from other people.
This is who I am partially, meaning that the rest of the information is concealed due to publicity. For more information, please visit Kevin Lee and make sure that person is the one who wrote this monologue!
