How we define ourselves is an important part of our identity. As we saw in our previous post, during Middle Adolescence teenagers develop an independence as part of distancing yourself from your parents. As Simon Sinek said in the video we watched, this independence allows us to "acculturate (assimilate to a different culture) outside of our immediate family and into the broader tribe" of the society around us.
So for this post list three things that you feel you identify with or define you and a brief description of what it is about it that you enjoy.
Example:
Rock music: I like it because to me it is rebellious.
Wizard101: I like wizard101 because it always brings the best of me and I actually have fun playing it.
ReplyDeleteTraveling: I like traveling because it give me memories to remember throughout my life.
M&M's: I love M&M's because they bring the best out of my tastebuds. I recommend them if you're allergic to peanuts I advise you not to eat them.

DeleteSome type of noise while doing work: Without it I become nervous and feel like something is wrong.
ReplyDeleteTalking to myself: Sometimes i talk to myself/ think out loud to assure what I'm doing is right and makes sense. if something does not make sense the first time I also say it again to understand it better.
Watching TV before i go to sleep helps me relax, which relates back to me always needing some type of background noise.
Country Music: I like country music because it makes me feel like I am partying all the time.
ReplyDeleteNetflix: I like Netflix because it lets me escape the real world.
Vacation: I like vacation because I feel free from my responsibilities.

ReplyDeleteSports: not only is it good for your body, but it also helps you take your frustration from the world and the competition can exhilarate you.
Being in a car: I was going to say YouTube or Netflix, but I think this is important for me too. When I'm in a car, with my headphones in with the music pumping so loud that my ears hurt, and I bring the window down so I breathe fresh air, that feeling is amazing. Yeah 13 Reasons Why on Netflix is a great escape too, but I equally like this as well.
