Like Sponge Bob in the clip above, sometimes, especially at your age, we struggle with the question, “Who Am I?” There are obvious answers to that question, obviously, I’m Mr. Robson, but what are the things that make me Mr. Robson, other than my name?
Sometimes we get so used to one aspect of our identities that we think of ourselves as being just one thing. People who meet you for the first time might just think of you as someone who’s tall, short, stunningly handsome (thank you so much), grumpy, etc. But there’s so much more to a person than just one trait.
I want you to consider the things that make each person unique. The things that make you unique contribute to form your personal identity.
I would like you to make a list of what kinds of things make up a person’s identity.
It might be helpful and interesting to you to consider what things make up YOUR identity as well. You can keep that list private unless you’d really like to share.

What you aren’t What you wish you could be/would like to be |
