good afternoon everyone my name is
Eugenia Kim and today I want to talk
about some broad concepts life and
identity what comes to mind when you
hear the words life and identity some of
you might feel overwhelmed because he
often contemplates such concepts as a
task that we a denies over our entire
lives others might feel pressured
because they obsess themselves to form
distinctive qualities from others these
are true to some degrees but in a sense
rather extreme in my own words a
person’s identity is the characteristics
that forms through the many events she
encounters and lifeless shows the full
of unique experiences that forms that
mold our true identity granted I would
like to share a couple of personal
experiences that play a decisive role in
developing my own identity overcoming a
nasty habit and finding true
independence as a teenager most of even
know how much I love nail art and that
I’m pretty good at it but did you know
that I used to bite my nails all the
times actually all of my nails were
extremely short because I would bite off
the tips every time I stressed out I
would do so even when our nails are too
short bite as a result my nails became
really fragile and often bleed so I try
to overcome that
terrible horrible habit like many times
but I failed however my life changed
drastically after I got interested in
nail art I saw some photos of millers
that someone posted on the internet one
day the designs were glossy and
colourful enough to catch an 11 years
old girls attention so I immediately
bought some nail polish to try out some
designs but it turned out to be a
terrible purchase since my nails are too
short to do anything the nails and the
pictures were long enough to serve some
chip designs but my weren’t as
much as I was disappointed however I
promised myself to grow my nails just
for a month and see what I can do one
thing thus I carried the nail polish
bottle everywhere and kept me near me so
I could constantly remind myself I’m not
super bright on my nails after a month
my nails finally grew long enough to
serve some cute designs and the final
piece came up pretty well I was very
proud of myself that I endured many days
to overcome my bad habit I have never
been in my nails ever since a successful
moment therefore by filling a sense of
accomplishment I learned how to overcome
the overcome my personal weaknesses and
that is now a part of who I am also
understanding the meaning of true
independence helped me to form my
identity when I was younger I was never
alone in my house since I have two
sisters one older and one younger my
sisters and I shared the same room slept
in the same bed ate at the same table
and studied together in the same place
having two siblings around me all the
time made me to rely on them without my
knowing and in turn my identity was
being molded in an environment where it
was impossible for me to be independent
basically I didn’t have any space
literally and figuratively I was
deprived of opportunities to solve my
own problems because my sisters was
constantly there monitoring me giving me
an unwanted tan all the while judging my
performance I just started to observe
myself in the eyes of others and
evaluate myself upon their subjective
point of views
I started feeling annoyed by my sisters
and perhaps vice versa
I knew I had to make a move so I
suggested we separate our rooms for
personal space and privacy
I enjoyed life in my mind in my own room
just for a few weeks during
time I was way over my head thinking
daya fulfill all the effectors of being
on independent teenager yes I did have
my own space and I did deal with my own
problems
but I was met with a much bigger problem
when I started to deliberately isolate
myself from my sisters I will walk
straight into my room after school shut
the door behind me and Schramm I trapped
myself in the small cave for the sake of
privacy and independence I fail to
notice even the most trivial events on
my sister’s life and there are much
alike with my own existence
I felt the growing distance among us and
I knew something was terribly wrong with
my independent expression such lifestyle
was a far from true independence it was
merely isolation segregation and
loneliness today I continue to use my
own room because I still believe that
personal space and privacy are the
necessary elements for a personal growth
nevertheless I don’t completely isolate
myself in my in my room anymore
I realized that true independence is not
simply just shutting myself off from the
world around me sure independence is the
ability to make my make my own decisions
while living in an interactive
environment the significance of such
reciprocation is clear Amaris aside
rational advice objective judgment and
subjective criticism made by others but
never let them interfere with my own
decisions this realisation helped me to
form more mature identity and prepare
myself to be a better independent
individual this personal stories are
often considered Chavel and most people
may may experience these kind of events
in once in their lives however I believe
that true identity naturally forms
through these little experiences also
even people who experienced the same
events cannot form the identical
characteristics because once identity is
affected by the interpretation of each
individual’s identity is the quality
that no one can control or interfere
with we are all unique individuals
thus we shouldn’t stress over who we are
what we are and how we are enjoy your
life’s journey everyone thank you
[Applause]
