Who am I?

The most logical answer to this question that I can think of is, "I am me." Yup, that's exactly what I am.

.

I remember when I was in the 10th we had this talk (yawn) and the lady (who apparently had nothing better to do that day) asked us one by one to stand up and give an answer to the question, "Who am I?" While most of the students struggled to find words to explain who they were, the lady kept repeating, "There's no wrong answer." But when they said "My name is..", she shot it down with, "That's your name. I asked you to tell me who you are." When they said, "I'm so n so's daughter" she said I didn't ask you for you dad's name. When they said "I like this n that" She said "I didn't ask you what your likes and dislikes were." And it went on this way.. In my head the voices kept screaming,"Shut up lady, or I'm gonna hurt you real bad." Sadly I was the only person who could hear those voices. And not soon enough, the bell rang and we ran home, as fast as our legs could carry.

.

Now, 5 years later, I still don't understand the point of her question. Sure I am me, but what makes me, me, is my personality and what I am to my parents, my friends and everyone around me. My likings have a lot to do with who I am and so do my looks (and I don't mean to be vain.)

So who am I? I'm a twenty year old girl. I live in Mangalore. I'm part of a very close knit family. I have a whole lot of friends. I smile a lot. (Anyone who knows me will attest to that.) I love reading. Shakespeare is my all time favorite. I'm 5'5'' and I weigh 45 kgs. N nothing I eat can make me put on weight. (And in case you're wondering, I don't exercise, much to my mother's chagrin.) I'm a li'l crazy and I think it's fun being that way. I like long walks. I love getting wet in the rain. I think KFC is the best thing that's ever happened to chicken. I will soon complete my graduation in Science. I hope to do my Masters in Statistics and in English Literature. I like writing poems. I hate talking over the phone. I'm many things. Many things I'm not. But one thing's for sure. I'm pretty unique, cause I'm the only one who's me.

Just a thought- "Be yourself. Who else is better qualified?"
