The first form of identity is self identity or true identity, which is the concept of yourself that you identify.

I remember his cloth es looking a bit worn and he had a shopping basket which I could see a pillow and a large discolored comforter. I signaled to my dad that there was a man waiting in the parking lot. As my dad approached the parking lot I could see the mans faces begin to light up and smile form. The man began to greet my dad and to my surprise the man knew my father s name. After they talked for a little while me and my dad left and the man stayed behind unpacking his cart in the parking lot. I asked my father what the man wanted and he began to tell me the young man s story and how he was a veteran who had a mental illness and is now homeless. My father was letting the man sleep in the parking under the buildings awnings. My father was reputable for these small acts of kindness and he always spoke of helping others. He is the reason I believe myself to have hospitable, charitable and trustworthy traits. And also why I try to radiate positivity and be affirming. I also get many of my traits from my mother. I always remember having a special connection with my mother. I would help her out around the house and watch in amazement as she would design, build, and fix things around
