How has your definition of identity changed from the beginning of the year to now.Â
My definition of identity has not changed at all but I think that I have it right where I want it, I think identity is who you are, I know that thats super original but when I say that I mean how you act, what you like to do, the people you chose to hang out with, and more.
How has a challenge or an adversity, become a strength for you.
One of my biggest challenges that has became a strength was presenting. Presenting was always super scary to me, I did not like sharing all my stuff in front of people I didn't know. But here at mountain we do it all the time and I hated it, but as I did it more and more it became normal and pretty easy for me, i'm really thankful for this because I know that it will help me a lot in high school and collage.
How have these aspects of identity helped you become the person you are today.
Presenting has helped me a lot because i've become good at presenting but also i'm a lot more social, like I used to be super shy and just avoided people but because of presenting i've became really social which has helped me a lot in school and just in normal life.

How did this myth reflect the moral of my original Identity narrative.
In mountain strong we created an identity story where we thought of a time in our life where something happened in our life that changed our identity. For me it was when I learned to ride a bike without training wheels. I really didn't want to do it but then my mom said if you do this you get to go to the movie theaters because we had never been before, so then I was deterined to ride that bike, it took a long time but in the end I did it. We went to watch the good dinosaur but ended up having to leave because we thought the part where the dad died was really scary. Anyway later in life I learned that the reward wasn't the movie but it was learning to ride a bike so I learned that you shouldn't learn something in hope of reward but you should you should do it because you are learning something new. After we made our real story we made a myth of it based on the same moral. So my myth was about a bear who had to learn how to climb a tree, but he did not want to, but then his mom said he could have honey if he climbed the tree. Then he tried and tried and kept failling but finally he did it and got his honey. Then later in life he learned that the reward wasn't the honey, it was learning to climb a tree. It was the exact same thing.
