As stated in the Burkitt text: "Who am I? This must be one of the most frequently asked questions in the modern Western world. It seems that at key points in our lives we all address this question in one way or another. On the surface this is a deceptively easy question, because if there is one thing we ought to know it is our own self: who we are. Yet anyone who has tied to answer this question will know how difficult it is." (Burkitt 1)
I identify myself as a dancer and student. Thinking about this, I also began to realized that after I graduate, I will not be a student anymore. I began to think about other ways in which I view myself and began to think of being a bi-racial woman. When referring to what you are, it necessarily does not always need to be about what race you are. I believe it was in my theories class last semester that we briefly touched upon this topic. Your sense of self does not to be restricted to biology. You can associate yourself with a hobby or interest if you felt like it.
