Who am I?

I am a servant, a daughter, a Young Life leader, and a TAAP facilitator. By servant, I mean that I am a servant of God. He sent his son to die for me so that I can live for him. With that, my actions are in accordance to the Bible, but with that, society views me in different ways. Some people see me as a boring, non-drinking, judgmental person. While others socially construct my identity in Christ to mean that I am filled with joy. As a daughter, my parents define me. My mom pushes me to be all that I can be. She has expectations that I feel I must live up to.  I am unconditionally loved as the daughter of my parents. As a Young Life leader, I am socially defined by high school girls. Some see me as a loser in college that has best friends in high school, while others view me as their mentor/best friend. TAAP facilitators are defined by freshmen, bridge, and transfer students at Clemson. We are typically defined as lame, non-drinking, preachy individuals that are out to waste and hour and half of everyone’s time. In reality, none of those aforementioned accusations are actually true.

Even though I am socially constructed by many different people, the only one I really listen to is my spiritual identity in Christ. I see myself as a servant and a daughter of Him, which is such a comforting feeling that I don’t need to feel the pressure of stereotypes and other’s images of me.
