Who Am I

Defining myself has never been so difficult.
I used to think that I am individualistic that I can control who I am.

Sociology has become an eye-opener for me.
In a way, it has frustrated me beyond belief that I don't have any control.
If I was unlucky enough to grow up in a poor neighborhood and go to a
poor school, the chances of me moving up is very slim.

However, we also learned about mindfulness. We learned how much others can influence us,
but I think that I often forget how much I can influence others. If I myself become more positive
then I can eventually inspire and affect people around me to do the same.

Be the change you want to be.
This was the repeating idea I got from being in sociology.

I am a sister. My little sister constantly looks up to me and learns from me.
The past years I've realized how scarily I affect her. If I like bbq sauce, the next month it becomes her favorite too. When I swear, she thinks its okay to do the same.

I am a sister, and as a sister I have a responsibility to be a good influence for my little sister. Sociology has
taught me that I really do have an affect on my sister and I should be more mindful of my own actions.

and this is only the beginning.
Sociology has made me realize many things I would've never realized by myself.
Little things can really make a difference. Little people can make a big difference.
And that's not exactly who I am yet, but it's who I'm going to be.
